I realise this may be a bit off topic but i thought i would let the processing users know of a project called ARToolKit. This is not a processing library but an external project that may be of some interest to some users.

ARToolKit is an augmented reality tool kit written in C and C++ designed to overlay virtual imagery onto real objects. There has been some quite nice research done with it. It seems to be an effective way to link tangible objects to a virtual images and composit them so that the virtual image looks like a real object in the camera view. If that makes any sense.

I thought there was a way to use the ARToolKit API with Java? If so, it would be easy to make a Processing Library for making ARToolKit easier to use for the Processing community.

yes, there is a Jartoolkit available and has pages at
http://jerry.c-lab.de/jartoolkit/
for info and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jartoolkit/
for the download.

For the java savvy out there it would appear (from my cursory reading of the API) that it also offers a quick way to grab video on windows. This may offer an alternative to using the capture class to avoid the DVIG speed issues as captures through directX.
