MIT Press Ltd Reality Media Augmented and Virtual Reality
Book SynopsisHow augmented reality and virtual reality are taking their places in contemporary media culture alongside film and television.TThis book positions augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) firmly in contemporary media culture. The authors view AR and VR not as the latest hyped technologies but as media—the latest in a series of what they term “reality media,” taking their places alongside film and television. Reality media inserts a layer of media between us and our perception of the world; AR and VR do not replace reality but refashion a reality for us. Each reality medium mediates and remediates; each offers a new representation that we implicitly compare to our experience of the world in itself but also through other media. The authors show that as forms of reality media emerge, they not only chart a future path for media culture, but also redefine media past. With AR and VR in mind, then, we can recognize their precursors in e

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Interfaceless: Conscious Design for Spatial Computing with Generative AI
Book SynopsisExplore the possibilities spatial computing and its integration with AI can provide beyond the confines of a traditional user interface. Spatial computing brings together physical and virtual worlds and systems. This book offers an insightful journey into harmonizing user-centered design with the vast potential of AI in spatial computing. You'll start by exploring key concepts and processes in relation to conscious design and traditional computer interfaces. You'll then be introduced to the Mindful Spatial Design Framework (MSDF) and the rapidly evolving world of generative AI and its potential to transform design processes.Once the key concepts are mastered, you'll start to put them into practice and see how to design, prototype, and test interfaceless systems and environments that are seamless and user-friendly. In doing so you'll consider topics such as functionality and aesthetics, as well as how AI can improve automation and testing. The book concludes by looking at ethical AI considerations and best practices as well as looking at next steps and future developments of spatial computing and interfaceless design. As these invisible interfaces become more prevalent, understanding the key principles of conscious design is pivotal. Interfaceless will expand your knowledge base in these areas. What You'll Learn Incorporate conscious design principles in spatial computing projects. Leverage AI to enhance UX in spatial contexts. Develop strategies to address design challenges as we move beyond physical interfaces. See how VR/XR apps, devices, and generative AI are rapidly changing how we perceive and interact with the digital realm.
