hi chris,
Heck yes, I 2nd both of these. Each time I want to interface ARToolKitPlus with gem I have to write a weird abstraction layer using network sockets to communicate. Would be great to have it straight in there.
i would love to try your weird bridge!!! can you share your work?
It only bridges in the sense of sending ARToolKit's numbers across via UDP to whatever wants to receive it. So, no image data. But this is useful if you're just detecting the markers to use in Pd or something else without requiring modification of the image data. For example I used it to make a 'virtual graffiti' installation using a projector, where people could wave markers around and draw on a virtual canvas.
Here's the code: http://mccormick.cx/viewcvs/arUDP/
Enjoy!
