Figma Mirai Meets Augmented Reality

At last - we get to really play around with Figma Mirai. Well kind of.
Original text from Ionized below.
If you're sadden by the fact that Figma Mirai is nothing more than an illusion, or if you've heard about the release of Dennou Figure ARis about a couple of months ago but couldn't bear to part with 9,800 yen, here's your chance to have some fun with a virtual figure.
The application is called ARmirai and you can download it from my blog. Probably the closest you can get to owning a Figma Mirai for the time being.
Sorry about the poor camera quality.

Good point. Danny uses mac. I should really figure out how to get this working in OSX. I bet he would like that =D
Mad scientist
looks interesting. I will take a look to see if I can get this stuff working. I would need to reboot into windows though, which I rarely do. Maybe I will try to get it working on OSX. It looks like you only used cross platform software to do this, so I guess it's possible. I will need to compile it myself though but I'm used to compilers so it shouldn't take too long to do that ^^
I will let you know of any results, but it will likely take a few days. Now there is Christmas and family visits and stuff, which takes priority.

Haha, my first thought was "....Does it work on Mac?" I'm betting Danny uses Parallels or something like that to play around with Windows stuff though.

You don't need a tuner card if you want to capture the video. Use FRAPS instead.

I've wanted to mix ARtoolkit and H@twuneBench figures, but I couldn't get all 3 libs compiling together yet. Need another try. I'm using OS X and bought a PS3 camera just for this purpose (makes a pretty good webcam).
