Anyway, really interesting stuff. I like this sort of interface, we have seen a few examples before and it seems to work fairly well every time.
I think I prefer dynamically made objects (like the track/raised bit) rather then “sketch recognition and lookup” style, however.

I just got done watching Ponyo, a Miyazaki movie with the kids. Something about this AR sketch program has a certain Miyazaki quality to it.

I had my kids watch the video, they giggled the whole time. Games like this get back to the root of play — imagination.

Well done and cheers.
