it has a bit of everything and goes into good to great depth
The bible of VR... it has a bit of everything and goes into good to great depth. I am sure this will be a college textbook in this area if it is not already. Easy to read and is a great place to get a solid understanding of the tech, and the space. VR's implications are also included here and is a also a great jumping off place to learn more.... No an inexpensive book by any means but you do get what you pay for.

well written, very thorough, great book.
i spent $6k on a film course at the NY film academy and they spent four weeks discussing everything in this book; you can read it for much less. many of the issues will be outdated in 2 years but overall the best source for anyone looking to enter this field or exploit the medium in any capacity

Great timeless literature, and even more so for the current emerging tech landscape
This an outstanding and insightful book! It helped me to understand the field and get a foundational knowledge as well as to expand into more advanced topics. XR is still relevant and even more so with the recent emerging tech surge it is becoming more relevant so it can help AI and humans teaming with AI to understand the world

Excellent resource. I had the privilege of listening to Jason Jerald speak at Immersed VR here in Toronto and I was blown away by the quality of information presented... So, of course, I had to buy his book. If you're getting into VR and I would absolutely recommend reading this. It's going to save you a lot of problems.

Apresenta realidade virtual e esmiúça seus conceitos, desde o histórico às teorias envolvidas no funcionamento, como o cérebro interpreta e as consequências negativas do uso equipamentos de realidade virtual.

Un libro che offre una panoramica completa su tanti aspetti del mondo della realtà virtuale. Forse un po' lungo, sicuramente molto accessibile.
