A COMPREHENSIVE AND AUTHORITATIVE GUIDE TO THE FOUNDATIONS, TECHNOLOGIES, AND TRANSFORMATIVE APPLICATIONS OF VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY.
Virtual and Augmented Reality: Fundamentals and Applications presents an in-depth exploration of the core principles, enabling technologies, and real-world use cases of VR and AR. Designed for use as both a textbook and a professional reference, it offers a rigorous and structured foundation for students, researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners alike.
Grounded in neuroscience and computational perception, the text takes readers from first principles to advanced topics in immersive system architecture and experience design. It emphasizes human-centered systems and multisensory engagement, covering vision, hearing, balance, touch, and smell, along with natural interaction modalities such as gesture, voice, gaze, facial expressions, and direct brain interfaces.
Key features include:
- Foundations of human sensory perception and their technological counterparts in immersive systems
- Advances in 3D graphics, high-fidelity display technologies, spatial audio, computer vision, and motion tracking
- Multimodal interaction and semantic understanding powered by artificial intelligence
- System design and usability considerations for end-to-end VR and AR platforms
- Case studies spanning entertainment, healthcare, education, workforce training, virtual tourism, e-commerce, and more
Authored by a leading innovator in immersive technologies, this book is ideal for advanced instruction and serves as an essential reference for those shaping the future of virtual and augmented reality.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
