Description
Virtual Reality has turned the corner from being a mere laboratory novelty to become a valuable tool with practical applications in many
fields. From best-selling VR guru Bill Sherman comes Developing Virtual Reality Applications - a comprehensive compendium that
examines over 50 unique and foundational VR applications in Business, Science, Medicine, Education, Spatial Studies, Public Safety, and
Entertainment industries. Each chapter contains one or more key applications that are explored in depth, as well as examples of these
applications in their most recent form and the most current research being conducted. The book also cross-references techniques between
different application areas, synthesizing the data into a coherent whole that describes overall VR trends and fundamental best practices.
Such synergy gives you a hands-on guide for developing your own applications, and provides an enhanced, longitudinal view of VR development.
By promoting mobility across disciplines, Developing Virtual Reality Applications becomes 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
