This book aims to be an easy-to-digest guide on the subject matter.If you are not familiar with the concept of AR, this book will be an eye-opener. It is a quick and fascinating read, and the authors don't get bogged down in unnecessary details."--Help Net Security online, January 23, 2013 "Kipper and Rampolla explain what augmented reality (AR) is, how it can be used in a variety of industries and applications, and concepts for new applications in business and crime-fighting."--Reference and Research Book News, August 2013 "If you want to see the future, look here. The product of years of research, Augmented Reality is a comprehensive overview of this stunning disruptive technology -- a type of 'reality on steroids'. A must read for venture capitalists, cyber-security professionals, policy makers, and entrepreneurs."--Edward M. Roche, Grenoble Ecole de Management
