ArkwoodAR is a Python Augmented Reality application for Google Cardboard.
To see how it works, check out my ArkwoodAR video.
Here are the dependencies, each with their recommended version number:
- Python 2.7.11
- PyOpenGL 3.1.1b1
- OpenCV 2.4.9
- NumPy 1.10.1
- PIL 1.1.7
To learn how to use the application with Google Cardboard, check out my posts:

Augmented Reality with Google Cardboard (Mark II)
Set MediaCube=True in the ArkwoodAR appsettings.ini file.
Two markers are supplied with the feature, to print out and use: marker_one.png and marker_two.png
The Media Cube feature puts a 3D shape on a marker, right in front of our eyes. We can walk around each side of the cube. On one side of the cube, a video is playing of a skeleton in a chair.
On another marker the book cover of The Inscrutable Diaries Of Rodger Saltwash appears.
If we turn the marker around, the book cover of Plastic Halo (a Hong Kong adventure novel) appears.
Set SecretItem=True in the ArkwoodAR appsettings.ini file.
The Secret Item feature allows us to look around the room like a proper spy. If the secret item (in this case, a skull badge) is detected, a green rectangle is sketched about it. We have found our treasure!
