============

#### Positional tracking for Google Cardboard ####

Adding simple positional tracking to VR goggles like [Cardboard](https://developers.google.com/cardboard/) inexpensively with paper tracking markers.

### Try it ###

[Cardboard, using front camera](http://gogglepaper.com/repo/examples/inside-out.html) : Place marker in front of you, or just face a monitor with this [page](http://gogglepaper.com/repo/examples/marker.html) on-screen  

[Rift DK1 tracking](http://gogglepaper.com/repo/examples/outside-in.html) : Put a marker on front of Rift  

[Debug](http://gogglepaper.com/repo/examples/debug.html) : Debug camera and orientation data  

### Tips ###

- Have about an inch or more or whitespace surrounding the marker for better tracking

- For testing, a phone with the marker on-screen works well

- Tracking is contrast dependent, so the marker being well lit is important

### Roadmap ###

Possibilities:

- increased robustness, via better algorithms and multiple marker tracking

- native Cardboard Android app for better performance

- combining inside-out and outside-in tracking to produce middle-out tracking, for optimal tip-to-tip efficiency  

- abandon project once [Google Tango](https://www.google.com/atap/projecttango/)-like positional tracking supported natively and ubiquitiously
