FLARManager Online Resources

FLARManager is a lightweight framework developed by Eric Socolofsky that makes it easier to build augmented reality applications for Flash. It is compatible with a variety of tracking libraries and 3D frameworks, such as FLARToolKit, and provides a more robust event-based system for managing marker addition, update, and removal. It supports detection and management of multiple patterns, and multiple markers of a given pattern.

FLARManager is provided under a dual license model (GPL and commercial) and so there is a large community of developers. Many of these developers have produced online resources to help teach people how to use FLARManager, or examples showing different programming tricks. In this section we provide links to some of the best online resources.

The main FLARManager download site is http://words.transmote.com/wp/flarmanager/
