Understanding Augmented Reality: Concepts and Applications by Alan B. Craig
Understanding Augmented Reality addresses the core conceptual issues regarding the medium of AR, alongside the technology required to support it. Rather than focusing solely on transient, constantly changing software, this comprehensive guide teaches readers how to conceive of, design, and critically consume augmented reality experiences that aren\'t limited by today\'s specific tech boundaries.
Whether you are a student, developer, UI/UX designer, or casual tech enthusiast, this book disentangles the seemingly endless approaches to AR and provides a solid foundation in how the physical and digital worlds intersect.
Key Topics Covered:
- AR Hardware & Software: Deep dives into sensors, processors, displays, and software components.
- Content Creation: Designing 3D objects, audio, and visual elements that bridge the physical gap.
- Interaction: Navigation, manipulation, and human-computer interaction within AR environments.
- Mobile AR: Architectures, advantages, and disadvantages of mobile augmented reality systems.
- Real-World Applications: Magic books, magic mirrors, navigation assistance, and collaborative AR.
- Future Trends: Predicting shifts toward less encumbrance, higher fidelity, and ubiquitous content.
