Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an in-depth exploration of the field of augmented reality (AR) in its entirety and sets out to distinguish AR from other inter-related technologies like virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR) and extended reality (XR).

The author presents AR from its initial philosophies and early developments, and in this updated 2^nd edition discusses the latest advances and the ramifications they bring and the impact they have on modern society. He examines the new companies that have entered the field and those that have failed or were acquired giving a complete history of AR progress. He explores the possible future developments providing readers with the tools to understand issues relating to defining, building, and using their perception of what is represented in their perceived reality, and ultimately how we assimilate and react to this information.

In Augmented Reality: Where We Will All Live 2^nd Edition, Jon Peddie has amassed and integrated a corpus of material that is finally in one place. It will serve as a comprehensive guide and provide valuable insights for technologists, marketers, business managers, educators and academics who are interested in the field of augmented reality, its concepts, history, practices, and the science behind this rapidly advancing field of research and development.

Rezensionen

"Peddie ... has constructed a book of ten well-organized chapters that present a broad examination of AR and provide readers with an inclusive definition that discriminates AR from similar technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR). ... The chapters contain an appropriate list of references. ... a great starting point for those who wish to gain a broad overview of the issues and methodologies that support AR. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals." (J. Beidler, Choice, Vol. 55 (4), December, 2017)
