Augmented reality (AR) is a fast-growing application of computer graphics. AR systems overlay computer-generated graphics over the real world. The research described in this book puts an emphasis on specialized rendering techniques for AR. In the first part of this book, a new system for medical AR is discussed, which is based on a commercial surgical navigation device. A method for handling occlusion makes it possible to correctly render the occlusion of graphical objects by the anatomy of the patient. The second part of this book introduces the concept of stylized augmented reality, which ap

This book outlines the development currently underway in the technology of new media and looks further to examine the unforeseen effects of this phenomenon on our culture, our philosophies, and our spiritual outlook. The digital revolution is something fundamentally different from simply the introduction of yet another medium to our culture: it marks a paradigm shift in our relation to all media, to all our senses, all our expressions. The new media are transforming our definitions of culture and knowledge and transcending barriers in ways that will have lasting implications for generations

In 1977 Steven Holl and William Stout created a grittier alternative to mainstream architectural publishing called Pamphlet Architecture. With Holl’s Bridges, the landmark series was born, and for 30 years Pamphlet has served as soapbox and laboratory for such notable architects and theorists as Lebbeus Woods, Zaha Hadid, Lars Lerup, and Michael Sorkin. With its twenty-eighth installment, Pamphlet Architecture celebrates its thirtieth anniversary no less bold than when it began. Augmented Landscapes features a landscape architecture practice for the first time in Pamphlet history. London

Augmented Reality is a natural way to explore 3D objects and data, as it brings virtual objects into the real world, where we live, rather than forcing us to learn how to navigate inside the computer. With video-see-through technology, AR handheld devices such as tablet PC’s, PDA’s, or camera cell phones, (or in many cases just a webcam and our standard computer monitor), you hold the device up and "see through" the display to view both the real world and the superimposed virtual object. You can move around and see the virtual object, model, animation, or game from different views
