Finally, place the picture frame on the top of the shoebox (it should rest nicely on the support blocks glued in earlier). Measure the width and length of the window in the picture frame (this will be helpful for calibration).

Your Simple Shoebox Sidekick is now ready to use!

From the Trackmate webiste, download the Trackmate Tagger (the program that generate tags as a PDF for printing) and the Tracker (the program that processes images from the webcam to find tags), print out some tags, and try it out!

For more help setting things up, there is a complete walkthrough showing how to setup the Tracker software with a similar configuration: see the Cliffhanger Walkthrough on the Trackmate wiki, as well as the How to Setup page.
