Hi,

Is anyone using the "Spectec SD CAM" with the ARToolKitPlus? We 
recently bought one and it came with the SDK. Since this SDK has no 
documentation at all and i'm not a C++ guy i'm having some problems 
to integrate it with artoolkiplus.

The SDK I received together with the camera is the "ViCAM-III SDCam / 
Pocket PC 2002 Development Kit". The only example it brings is a 
program to show the captured image on screen. I can't figure out in 
wich array the image is stored in the program, all my tries to save 
the captured image to a file wore unsuccessfull.

Anyone has done this before and can give me some hints?

Regards,
Bruno.

we are using the Spectec SD CAM for about 1.5 years now.

i recommend using only the 300k version because the 1.3M version does a
really, really bad job at low res (320x240) video streams. the resulting
images are not usable for ARToolKit tracking (to my judgement one can
already speak about a bug when looking at those images).

the 300k version works well. fast, but quite bad image quality (needs
lots of light).

you can find code how to use the camera in PocketKnife, a PocketPC
library i wrote quite some time ago.
you can get it from the download section of the Klimt project at
sourceforge.

good luck,
Daniel
