Studierstube Tracker (StbTracker) is a computer vision library for detection and pose estimation of 2D barcodes. It is a successor to the well-known ARToolKitPlus library. Its concept is very similar to that of ARToolKit, ARToolKitPlus and ARTag, however, its code base is completely different. StbTracker has been written from scratch with high performance for PCs as well as mobile phones in mind. Hence, its memory requirements are very low (100KB) and processing is fast (e.g. 185 images / sec can be tracked with "simple Id" markers on a 312 MHz smartphone).

X-Ray (FREEWARE)

So you want to impress your friends with your Windows Mobile phone? Today you can show off your mad skills and show your buddy an x-ray of his hand. And Portable X-Ray makes it possible.

Actually, it’s not a real X-Ray app, that should be the first thing I say in this review. It’s just a video that plays of an x-ray of a hand and you tell your phone when to pause the video and continue playing it.

As you can see, the x-rayer moves the phone over the x-rayee’s hand and presses the camera button to start and stop the movement on the screen. Play the video again now and watch his fingers. Well, that and knowing the direction the video will scroll next. Download the app and make sure to install VB 2003 (a plugin from Microsoft that you will need to actually run the app). Then practice, practice, practice!

I showed this to my wife last night and she was floored, she actually thought it was x-raying my arm! It is really that life-like and people will think you are really doing it when you trick them. Just remember, a good illusionist never tells the secret to his trick.

OBS: I have made some changes to fit the image size scan in our HTC Touch device. I've resized the images 20% smaller than original. After download the ZIP file, install the CAB application and copy all the 8 images to the following path (substitute all of them):

(portuguese):
\Cartão de Memória\Arquivos de Programas\Portable X-Ray

(english):
\Memory Card\Program Files\Portable X-Ray
