Augmented Reality

Slated as 'the next big thing in tech', augmented reality promises to take the screen out of our hands and wrap it around the world via 'smart spectacles'. As a pervasive, invisible interface between the world and our senses, AR offers unparalleled capacity to reveal hidden digital depths, but it also comes at a cost to our privacy, our property, and our reality.

In this crucial and provocative book, Mark Pesce draws on over thirty years' experience to offer the first mainstream exploration of augmented reality. He discusses the exciting and beneficial features of AR as well as the issues and risks raised by this still-emerging technology - a technology that moulds us by shaping what we see and hear.

Augmented Reality is essential reading for anyone interested in the growing influence of this impressive but deeply concerning technology. As the book reveals, reality - once augmented - will never be the same.

Clasificat drept „urmatorul mare lucru din tehnologie”, realitatea augmentata promite sa scoata ecranul din mainile noastre si sa-l infasoare in jurul lumii prin „ochelari inteligenti”. Ca o interfata omniprezenta si invizibila intre lume si simturile noastre, AR ofera o capacitate de neegalat de a dezvalui adancimi digitale ascunse, dar are si un cost pentru intimitatea noastra, proprietatea noastra si realitatea noastra.
