Synopsis
An incredible revolution in technology, visual computing allows us to create three-dimensional worlds to explore phenomena that otherwise would be unfathomable. It is not merely a new way to make images--it is a new way to think.
Written by two leaders in the field, Visual Computing helps readers understand the nature of visual computing by drawing on concepts from computer science, vision and cognitive science, and the visual arts. From the history of computer graphics to the research that is shaping this new technology, Visual Computing tells the exciting story of how scientists are linking the tremendous visual powers of human beings to the tireless and unlimited computational power of the computer. The result has had an impact on nearly every area of science, engineering, medicine, design, and entertainment--as well as on the fantastic growth of the Internet.
Abundantly illustrated using classical works of art as well as computer imagery, Visual Computing is a celebration of an amazing new field whose potential is limitless.
