Description:...

Augmented Reality (AR) blurs the boundary between the physical and digital worlds. In AR’s current exploration phase, innovators are beginning to create compelling and contextually rich applications that enhance a user’s everyday experiences. In this book, Dr. Helen Papagiannis—a world-leading expert in the field—introduces you to AR: how it’s evolving, where the opportunities are, and where it’s headed.

If you’re a designer, developer, entrepreneur, student, educator, business leader, artist, or simply curious about AR’s possibilities, this insightful guide explains how you can become involved with an exciting, fast-moving technology.

You’ll explore how:

• Computer vision, machine learning, cameras, sensors, and wearables change the way you see the world
• Haptic technology syncs what you see with how something feels
• Augmented sound and hearables alter the way you listen to your environment
• Digital smell and taste augment the way you share and receive information
• New approaches to storytelling immerse and engage users more deeply
• Users can augment their bodies with electronic textiles, embedded technology, and brain-controlled interfaces
• Human avatars can learn our behaviors and act on our behalf
