Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Although the field of mixed reality has grown significantly over the last decade, there have been few published books about augmented reality, particularly the interface design aspects. ""Emerging Technologies of Augmented Reality: Interfaces and Design"" provides a foundation of the main concepts of augmented reality (AR), with a particular emphasis on user interfaces, design, and practical AR techniques, from tracking algorithms to design principles for AR interfaces. ""Emerging Technologies of Augmented Reality: Interfaces and Design"" contains comprehensive information focusing on the following topics: technologies that support AR, development environments, interface design and evaluation of applications, and case studies of AR applications.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
