Notes from Anna Eschenbacher, to start out with ofxARKit

  • Follow steps here for ofxARKit: https://github.com/sortofsleepy/ofxARKit
  • which is mainly this (for building an example):
  • Before building any project go to Signing & Capabilities and add your Apple ID account
  • you can add a maximum of 3 apps to your iphone with a free development profile and I think you can try building around 10 different projects per week.
