I&#8217;m checking into the MacOS answer.</p> <p>This book doesn&#8217;t require a camera specifically designed for Augmented Reality.

The Point Grey Firefly MV seems to be the cheapest &#8220;good for AR&#8221; camera currently on the market, but at $300 it is still quite expensive for a recreational project.</p> <p>Would the author be willing to post the excerpt of the hardware section of the book online? It would greatly help me in making a decision whether to buy a camera or not and hence whether to buy the book or not.</p> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:32:49 -0000 forums.pragprog.com:35:287:2367 Ken Pratt http://forums.pragprog.com/forums/35/topics/287
