Augmented Reality: Principles and Practice (Usability)

<p style="margin:0px;"> <b>Today’s Comprehensive and Authoritative Guide to Augmented Reality</b> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <br> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">By overlaying computer-generated information on the real world, augmented reality (AR) amplifies human perception and cognition in remarkable ways. Working in this fast-growing field requires knowledge of multiple disciplines, including computer vision, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction. <b> <i>Augmented Reality: Principles and Practice</i> </b> integrates all this knowledge into a single-source reference, presenting today’s most significant work with scrupulous accuracy. Pioneering researchers Dieter Schmalstieg and Tobias Höllerer carefully balance principles and practice, illuminating AR from technical, methodological, and user perspectives.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">Coverage includes</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <ul> <li>Displays: head-mounted, handheld, projective, auditory, and haptic</li> <li>Tracking/sensing, including physical principles, sensor fusion, and real-time computer vision</li> <li>Calibration/registration, ensuring repeatable, accurate, coherent behavior</li> <li>Seamless blending of real and virtual objects</li> <li>Visualization to enhance intuitive understanding</li> <li>Interaction–from situated browsing to full 3D interaction</li> <li>Modeling new geometric content</li> <li>Authoring AR presentations and databases</li> <li>Architecting AR systems with real-time, multimedia, and distributed elements</li> </ul> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">This guide is indispensable for anyone interested in AR, including developers, engineers, students, instructors, researchers, and serious hobbyists.</p>
