HI OSGART TEAM,

Is there any way that one can download or try the upcomming version of OSGAT like CVS or SVN reps....


Looking forward eagerly for the upcomming version

Best Wishes,
Arun

Hi Arun,

yes the development is heating up with Robert Osfield now pushing OpenSceneGraph 2.0 out of the door we are preparing to release osgART 1.1 on the heals of it. There are many improvements over 1.0 coming. So keep watching this space. Sorry for the inconvenience but I think its worth the waiting

Cheers,
Hartmut

There will be two releases following quickly one another.

osgART 1.1 will be an enhanced version of 1.0 with capability of using OSG 2.x. It will come with more plugins for tracking and video.

osgART 2.0 will be only OSG 2.x or even higher as we are using some specific features of the OSG API. Additionally osgART will work internally completely different enabling much more flexible usage within applications.

However, I can't put an ETA on both of them. Only I can assure you we are working hard on it

Cheers,
Hartmut

Hello,
I just started to experiment with OSGART 1.0. Is there already a new version available which is maybe compatible with OSG2.2?

Any news on a pending release, or access via SVN?

Thanks

I take the opportunity here to provide as much information as I possibly can, as some of you raised doubts and concerns about he future of osgART.

osgART 1.1 is exclusively been distributed as a commercial product by ARToolworks, there will be no community source available. You need to contact ARToolworks for more information.

The Human Interface Technology Laboratory New Zealand (HITLabNZ - http://www.hitlabnz.org) is actively working on osgART 2.x under a GPL license. osgART 2.x will be API incompatible with 1.1 and will shift to a new development paradigm, emphasizing the conceptual connection between Augmented and Mixed Reality and fine grain control of tracking parameters. As of now osgART 2.x will only work with OpenSceneGraph 2.4 or higher. And yes, we will have a community source code repository.

Best Regards,
Hartmut Seichter
