This open access book explores the challenges of metamodeling in the context of Extended Reality and emphasizes the need for new concepts in metamodeling to effectively combine it with extended reality technologies.

Virtual Reality is the next new frontier for Silicon Valley. The fantasies that underpin common perceptions of Virtual Reality - and what we need to know about VR’s potential risks as well as its opportunities.

Covers the fundamentals of Virtual Reality systems, including geometric modeling, transformations, graphical rendering, optics, the human vision, auditory, and vestibular systems, tracking systems, interface design, human factors, etc.

Explore the many opportunities that Virtual Reality can offer for humanities and social sciences researchers. Provide a user-friendly, non-technical methods guide to using ready-made VR content and 360° video as well as creating custom materials.

This book has an aim to present applications, trends and newest development in three main disciplines: health sector, education and industry. It will be useful for researchers, engineers and students.

This book takes the design of places for education, entertainment, online communities, business, and cultural activities in 3D Virtual World to a new level. The place metaphor provides a rich source of styles and examples for designing in 3D virtual worlds.

This book is the most comprehensive treatment of Virtual World design to-date from one of the true pioneers and most sought-after design consultants. It brings a rich, well-developed approach to the design concepts behind virtual worlds.

It discusses spatial augmented reality approaches that exploit optical elements, video projectors, holograms, radio frequency tags, and tracking technology, as well as interactive rendering algorithms and calibration techniques.

The book aims to provide a broader perspective of Virtual Reality on development and application, including virtual reality visualization and vision, as well as virtual reality in robot technology. It also covers industrial and construction applications.

This book will take you on a journey through building a location-based AR game that addresses the core technical concepts: GIS fundamentals, mobile device GPS, mapping, map textures in Unity, mobile device camera, camera textures in Unity, etc.
