Basic (twitchy) Motion Tracking

I’ve put on hold reading “Making Things Move”, as the remaining chapters were too much for my brain to handle. I decided to try out some cool webcam experiments. Augmented Reality is obviously out of my reach right now (but definitely in my sights), I decided to try out motion tracking.

It is very twitchy and erratic, and it’s not very accurate neither, but it works.

Most of the concepts are explained in detail here and there.

My next step would be to track something of a specific color (a marker). Shouldn’t be too hard – I hope.
