 About FLARToolKit
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 * ARToolKit の AS3 版です。
 * Flash player 10 用
 * A虎＠(nyatla)氏の NyARToolkit for AS を基盤にFLARToolKit v1.xの
   インターフェースを引き継いだライブラリ集です。
 * FLARToolKit は入力画像からマーカーを認識して、3 次元空間での
   カメラ位置を計算するとこまでをやってくれます。
 * 3D グラフィックスとの合成などは各自で実装する必要があります。
 * ただし簡単に合成できるようにヘルパー的なものはついてます。
   (Papervision3D, Away3D, Sandy3D, Alternativa3D)

 # AS3 ported version of ARToolKit.
 # Flash player 10 only
 # This is a library collection that succeeded the interface of
   FLARToolKit v1.x based on NyARToolkit for AS.
 # FLARToolKit recognize the marker from input image.
   and calculate its orientation and position in 3D world.
 # You should draw 3D graphics by your own.
 # But helper classes for major flash 3D engines
