Immersive Technology Unveiled
Description
Immersive Technology is revolutionizing the present and future. It includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) to extend reality by engaging the handler in a virtual environment through applications in domains such as web application, healthcare, transportation, construction, gaming, etc. This book focuses on immersive technology where VR headsets create a simulator environment and an individual immerse into it to get the experience of completely different reality.
The book provides knowledge about the fundamentals and scope of VR, AR and MR. It discusses machine learning, artificial intelligence, internet of things, cloud computing, and many other pillars that plays a vital role in the revolution of immersive technology. This book also discusses some case studies that will be beneficial for industries that are dealing with smart wearable gadgets.
Readers will learn a complete perspective of immersive technologies from the technical details and real-life use-cases to its social, cultural, and business contexts.
