// coloured markers //

hi list,

i am working on a small game using a series of cubes, with a 
marker fitted to each face, as the tangibe interface. 
i'd like to explore alternatives to the 'look' of the 
black-and-white marker.

has any research been done into the use of alternative markers types 
(using free software)? i realise it's perhaps difficult given 
the limits of the CV library but:

1/ ideally i'd have a single unique colour for each side of my 
cube interface and perform colour tracking of these square 
regions against a white background. 

2/ a unique colour picture containing flat regions of colour 
onto which the tracking would lock. each picture-marker would be 
a block-colour elevation of the model attached to that marker. 

3/ something like this:

the cubes will eventually be solid (printed) plastic.

cheers!
