Springer is launching a new Handbook of Augmented Reality Technologies and Applications with the main objective to provide a variety of research and survey articles (~18-36 pages) contributed by world experts in the field. Springer is committed to create a successful and unique Handbook in this field and therefore it intends to support it with a large marketing and advertising effort. Potential contributors should express their interest by sending an email to Borko Furht at borko@cse.fau.edu.

DESCRIPTION

This Handbook will include contributions of the world experts in the field of augmented reality and its applications from academia, research laboratories, and private industry. Augmented Reality (AR) refers to a live view of physical real world environment whose elements are merged with augmented computer-generated images creating a mixed reality. The augmentation is typically done in real time and in semantic context with environmental elements. By using the latest AR techniques and technologies, the information about the surrounding real world becomes interactive and digitally usable. The objective of the project is to introduce the basic concepts of augmented reality, technologies and techniques, AR devices, interfaces, tools, and systems applied in AR, as well as current and future applications.
