Description
Virtual Reality systems enable organizations to cut costs and time, maintain financial and organizational control over the development
process, digitally evaluate products before having them created, and allow for greater creative exploration. In this book, VR developers
Alan Craig, William Sherman, and Jeffrey Will examine a comprehensive collection of current,unique, and foundational VR applications
in a multitude of fields, such as business, science, medicine, art, entertainment, and public safety among others.
An insider’
s view of what works, what doesn’t work, and why, Developing Virtual Reality Applications explores core technical information and background
theory as well as the evolution of key applications from their genesis to their most current form. Developmental techniques are cross-referenced
between different applications linking information to describe overall VR trends and fundamental best practices. This synergy, coupled
with the most up to date research being conducted, provides a hands-on guide for building applications, and an enhanced, panoramic view
of VR development. Developing Virtual Reality Applications is an indispensable one-stop reference for anyone working in this burgeoning
field.
Audience:
Professionals and researchers in Virtual Reality, including hardware and software developers and engineers. Practitioners concerned with
modeling and visualization as well as managers in industry that are looking for and evaluating enabling technologies
