Handbook of Input and 3D User Interaction

3D user interaction refers to many different domains along the virtuality continuum such as virtual, mixed and augmented reality, tangible interaction, ubiquitous and pervasive computing, context-aware computing, handheld, or mobile interaction. There is also a strong gaming and entertainment component to 3DUIs, especially with the rise of mobile devices. Readers looking to work in 3D simulation or game development will find value in this book. Coverage includes gesture recognition algorithms, input technologies, 3D navigation and wayfinding with an input's perspective, software design and implementation, and experiment practices for input devices, among others.
