| Summary, etc. |
For such a large-scale technology revolution that is about to happen in the VR/AR space, there are very few books that address Virtual Reality outside of programing language specific "How to program VR applications." There is a huge market for a book that offers an easy to understand primer on Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality and how it will affect the future. Rather than focus on a specific piece of hardware (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, iOS ARKit), or software (Unity, Unreal Engine), the book functions to offer a broad look at VR/AR/MR -- what they are, a history of the technologies, how they are being used currently, how they will affect the reader both professionally and personally in the future, and where things could go from here. |
