Khanacademy Tutorial - Quick and Easy Augmented Reality from SketchUp/3DMax etc Creating your own Augmented Reality is, thanks to ARTAG, staggeringly easy. Yet behind the simplicity lays a serious potential for both the hobbyist, local government use and the professional practice. The only requirements are a webcam, printer and the ability to export models in either .obj, .wrl or .ase formats. Step 1 Download ARTag and unzip the contents to a folder. Step 2 Open your newly created folder – in our case under its default name of ‘artag_rev2k_sdk_windows_1207′ and navigate to the ‘patterns’ directory. Step 3 Open both base0.gif and toolbar0_7.gif as pictured to the right. Lay both these printouts side by side on your desk or workspace. Step 4 Making sure your webcam is plugged in navigate to the ‘compiled_demos’ folder and double click on 3d_augmentations_usb.exe. This is your first example of Augmented Reality, all we need now is to import our own objects. Step 5 The objects that load on the marker grid are defined by a text file – setup_artag_3d.cfg. * Update 17th July 2007

HTML5 This specification defines the 5th major version, second minor revision of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In this version, new features continue to be introduced to help Web application authors, new elements continue to be introduced based on research into prevailing authoring practices, and special attention continues to be given to defining clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to improve interoperability. This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. This document was published by the Web Platform Working Group as a W3C Recommendation for HTML 5.2 that would obsolete the HTML 5.1 Recommendation. All interested parties are invited to provide implementation and bug reports and other comments through the Working Group's Issue tracker. The implementation report produced for this version demonstrates that in almost every case changes are matched by interoperable implementation.

wiseGEEK: clear answers for common questions AllExperts Questions & Answers Mental Disorders & Conditions - DSM Childhood disorders, often labeled as developmental disorders or learning disorders, most often occur and are diagnosed when the child is of school-age. Although some adults may also relate to some of the symptoms of these disorders, typically the disorder’s symptoms need to have first appeared at some point in the person’s childhood. These disorders typically aren’t diagnosed until an individual is a young adult, often not until their 20’s or even 30’s.
