Votes over 10 for a particular question don't help to create the community. Rather than vote again for a popular question, it's best to look at some of the questions with fewer than 10 votes and upvote them. Don't forget that you can also move your votes by clicking the up arrow on a question you've already voted for to remove your vote, then voting again on another question. – Chris Jan 28 at 12:31

I think we should not. First of all because AR can be something more than just a visual technology. – super Dec 10 '12 at 14:20

Steps could equal design patterns here. It would be good to get a set of common methods that need to be part of any API. – Noel Jan 29 at 22:16

I don't understand the "Either OpenCV or Augmented Reality" part. OpenCV is a framework, Augmented Reality is a subject area. How should that be compared? – Chris Jan 29 at 12:20
