Nothing a little glue code couldn't solve.  ;-)  There are also many
other ways to get identity and position than those fiducials of the
Reactable system.  I often use a camera and a little bit of the
computer vision API that openFrameworks (or even Processing) provides.
 You can get a lot of mileage out of those technologies without having
to use what the Reactables people give you out-of-the-box, so to
speak.
