So there must be clear line of sight - no objects can be in the way. Virtual objects however (like the projected box) don't get in the way, since they're not in the webcam's way.

It removes the need to know any of the complicated inner workings of FLARToolkit. Thanks! I would like to point out that ARtisan is a front end for FLARToolkit, not a replacement.
