by Oliver Bimber, Ramesh Raskar
A K Peters LTD (publisher)
Summary
Novel approaches have taken augmented reality (AR) beyond traditional eye-worn or hand-held displays, enabling new application areas for the art community. This book discusses spatial optical elements and video-projectors, as well as interactive rendering algorithms, calibration techniques, and display examples. It provides a comprehensive overview, detailed math, code fragments, and implementation instructions that enable interested readers to realize spatial AR displays by themselves.
