What is ARToolKit?
ARToolKit is an open-source augmented reality tracking library that enables users to create and position virtual objects overlaying the real world. With video-based tracking capabilities, ARToolKit can analyze the environment in real-time to calculate the camera's position relative to physical markers, allowing for the placement of 3D computer graphics models at precise locations. The library is available as a plugin for the Unity game engine, facilitating the integration of augmented reality features into a wide range of applications
