More insight on trackables? Should they be snapshots of something *printed*?

By ina on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:03
Here is one example of a 4-star trackable that seems to track worse than a 0-star trackable... I haven't printed this out yet, but I generally have luck shining my evo cam at the screen to trigger a trackable.

I am wondering if that's the case here, or if there are other reasons why this wouldn't be a good trackable. (But, why is it showing up as a 4-star trackable?)

For the ImageTargets - it seems like you have to use the print-out or screen-readout, and that, for stone or woodchips, you can't just point the user to the location: For example, if you just shine it at a pile of wood that looks very similar to the imagetarget, but isn't the same segment, it won't
