商品描述

The most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the technologies, applications and human factors considerations of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) systems and wearable computing devices. 

Practical Augmented Reality is ideal for practitioners and students concerned with any application, from gaming to medicine. It brings together comprehensive coverage of both theory and practice, emphasizing leading-edge displays, sensors, and DIY tools that are already available commercially or will be soon. Beginning with a Foreword by NASA research scientist Victor Luo, this guide begins by explaining the mechanics of human sight, hearing and touch, showing how these perceptual mechanisms (and their performance ranges) directly dictate the design and use of wearable displays, 3-D audio systems, and tactile/force feedback devices. 

Steve Aukstakalnis presents revealing case studies of real-world applications from gaming, entertainment, science, engineering, aeronautics and aerospace, defense, medicine, telerobotics, architecture, law enforcement, and geophysics. Readers will find clear, easy-to-understand explanations, photos, and illustrations of devices including the Atheer AiR, HTC Vive, DAQRI Smart Helmet, Oculus (Facebook) CV1, Sony PlayStation VR, Vuzix M300, Google Glass, and many more. Functional diagrams and photographs clearly explain how these devices operate, and link directly to relevant theoretical and practical content. 

Practical Augmented Reality thoroughly considers the human factors of these systems, including sensory and motor physiology constraints, monocular and binocular depth cues, elements contributing to visually-induced motion sickness and nausea, and vergence–accommodation conflicts. It concludes by assessing both the legal and societal implications of new and emerging AR, VR, and wearable technologies as well as provides a look next generation systems.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是關於擴增實境(AR)和虛擬實境(VR)系統以及可穿戴式計算設備的技術、應用和人因考量的最全面和最新的指南。《實用擴增實境》適合從遊戲到醫學的從業人員和學生使用。它匯集了理論和實踐的全面覆蓋,強調領先的顯示器、傳感器和DIY工具,這些工具已經商業化或即將商業化。本書以NASA研究科學家Victor Luo的序言開始,首先解釋了人類視覺、聽覺和觸覺的機制,展示了這些知覺機制(及其性能範圍)如何直接影響可穿戴顯示器、3D音頻系統和觸覺/力反饋設備的設計和使用。

Steve Aukstakalnis提供了來自遊戲、娛樂、科學、工程、航空航天、國防、醫學、遠程機器人、建築、執法和地球物理學等領域的真實應用案例。讀者將找到清晰易懂的解釋,以及包括Atheer AiR、HTC Vive、DAQRI Smart Helmet、Oculus(Facebook)CV1、Sony PlayStation VR、Vuzix M300、Google Glass等設備的照片和插圖。功能圖表和照片清楚地解釋了這些設備的操作方式,並直接鏈接到相關的理論和實踐內容。

《實用擴增實境》全面考慮了這些系統的人因因素,包括感覺和運動生理限制、單眼和雙眼深度線索、導致視覺誘發運動病和噁心的因素,以及視差-調節衝突。最後,它評估了新興AR、VR和可穿戴技術的法律和社會影響,並展望了下一代系統。
