The VR book: human-centered design for virtual reality

摘要

This is an important moment for the field of virtual reality (VR) research given the recent large-scale release of several consumer-oriented systems. Virtual reality technologies, sometimes called mixed realities, encompass much more than the latest generation of products with some applica­tions the reader may find surprising. Consumer availability of low-latency sensors and high-quality display systems is enabling a new generation of VR products. Those in the fields of simulation, entertainment, and education are already investing considerable resources in these new plat­forms. Despite the recent surge in interest, there is still not much clarity as to what sorts of design considerations should be taken for development of both hardware and virtual spaces.
