Today's Comprehensive and Authoritative Guide to Augmented Reality

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. Augmented Reality: Principles and Practice integrates all this knowledge into a single-source reference, presenting today's most significant work with scrupulous accuracy. Pioneering researchers Dieter Schmalstieg and Tobias Hollerer carefully balance principles and practice, illuminating AR from technical, methodological, and user perspectives.

Coverage includes

Displays: head-mounted, handheld, projective, auditory, and haptic
Tracking/sensing, including physical principles, sensor fusion, and real-time computer vision
Calibration/registration, ensuring repeatable, accurate, coherent behavior
Seamless blending of real and virtual objects
Visualization to enhance intuitive understanding
Interaction-from situated browsing to full 3D interaction
Modeling new geometric content
Authoring AR presentations and databases
Architecting AR systems with real-time, multimedia, and distributed elements

This guide is indispensable for anyone interested in AR, including developers, engineers, students, instructors, researchers, and serious hobbyists.

Industry Reviews

“This is an essential book for anyone interested in Augmented Reality, by two of the leading pioneers. It provides an outstanding foundation to the fast growing field of AR, both for those already in the field as well as those who just want to understand the technology more deeply.” –Dr. Mark Billinghurst, Professor of Human Computer Interaction, University of South Australia, and creator of the ARToolKit""At first, I thought this book provided a very solid foundation for any Augmented Reality newbie who needed to learn all aspects of AR, but then I realized I couldn’t stop digging and learning...it goes deeper than many of the AR books I reviewed in the past decade!""–Ori Inbar, Executive Director, Augmented World Expo (augmentedworldexpo.com); CEO and founder, AugmentedReality.org
