Data will not help you if you can't see it where you need it. Or
can't collect it where you need it. Upon these principles, wearable
technology was born. And although smart watches and fitness
trackers have become almost ubiquitous, with in-body sensors on the
horizon, the future applications of wearable computers hold so much
more. A trusted reference for almost 15 years, Fundamentals of
Wearable Computers and Augmented Reality goes beyond smart clothing
to explore user interface design issues specific to wearable tech
and areas in which it can be applied. Upon its initial publication,
the first edition almost instantly became a trusted reference,
setting the stage for the coming decade, in which the explosion in
research and applications of wearable computers and augmented
reality occurred. Written by expert researchers and teachers, each
chapter in the second edition has been revised and updated to
reflect advances in the field and provide fundamental knowledge on
each topic, solidifying the book's reputation as a valuable
technical resource as well as a textbook for augmented reality and
ubiquitous computing courses. New Chapters in the Second Edition
Explore: Haptics Visual displays Use of augmented reality for
surgery and manufacturing Technical issues of image registration
and tracking Augmenting the environment with wearable audio
interfaces Use of augmented reality in preserving cultural heritage
Human-computer interaction and augmented reality technology
Spatialized sound and augmented reality Augmented reality and
robotics Computational clothing From a technology perspective, much
of what is happening now with wearables and augmented reality would
not have been possible even five years ago. In the fourteen years
since the first edition burst on the scene, the capabilities and
applications of both technologies are orders of magnitude faster,
smaller, and cheaper. Yet the book's overarching mission remains
the same: to supply the fundamental information and basic knowledge
about the design and use of wearable computers and augmented
reality with the goal of enhancing people's lives.
