Description

Extended reality has finally entered the mainstream, with commercially available VR headsets transporting wearers to other realities and AR glasses delivering data in ways that are more useful than any laptop or smartphone. In this comprehensive overview of augmented, mixed, and virtual reality technology, Samuel Greengard explores their potential impact on our lives. Greengard examines the history and technological development of augmented and virtual realities, including the latest research in the field, and surveys the various shapes and forms of VR, AR, and MR. He considers the social and psychological ramifications of these technologies and discusses possible future directions. The book also explores how extended reality is shaping and reshaping some professions and industries, and its effects on psychology, morality, law, and social constructs. The author argues that it's not a question of whether extended reality will become a standard part of our world, but rather when, where, and how these technologies will take hold.
