Thanks DJ Sures, you're great. By adding these changes you have made ??your software even more exceptional, I am convinced that in time will be one of the best around. Thanks again, and continue to follow you and to advertise your product. Ciao from italy.
Awesome job! When will this be available in the SDK? And on that topic, will the SDK always contain all features available in the ARC?
Thanks!
I'm sad I actually carry a set of Glyph printouts in my work laptop bag!!
Great Job DJ
DJ awesome job! I can not imagine how advanced it is in 2014! sure it will be like watching a movie of the future. eek
Oooo... multiple cameras. Do you sleep?
Speaking of cameras, I was playing with my tracking thing with my minion and some how managed to switch the camera to my webcam on pc. All of a sudden my minion (didn't know he could go so fast) starting racing off the table. I barely caught him. It was funny but I guess you had to be there.
Hi DJ
Did you give the motion tracking and face recognition a tune-up they work much better (smoother and faster) on my system.
Thanks for the multi cam support , Gun cam here we come.
Thank you for the MP3TriggerVolume.
You made my day!!!!!!!
@ DJ : I just connected my 2nd EZ-B (which is board #1) and downloaded the new version (Release 2012.05.29.00 ) per this thread. I DO NOT see the new features shown in your video in the camera window, nor in the camera configure window. Note: I just added an update comment in my post under Hardware, wireless camera problem on 5/25/2012. Please look it over if you would. I am still getting the green color flare even after downloading the new release. Have I missed a step anywhere? I welcome your comments as to what you think the problem may be. Thanks
UPDATE: I had to delete ARC from my computer and reinstall it. I CAN now see the new and updated camera control window and features. I will try testing my camera again today and see if the camera tracking issue is resolved.
