Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) is a natural development from virtual reality (VR), which was developed several decades earlier. AR complements VR in many ways. Due to the advantages of the user being able to see both the real and virtual objects simultaneously, AR is far more intuitive, but it's not completely detached from human factors and other restrictions. AR doesn't consume as much time and effort in the applications because it's not required to construct the entire virtual scene and the environment. In this book, several new and emerging application areas of AR are presented and divided into three sections. The first section contains applications in outdoor and mobile AR, such as construction, restoration, security and surveillance. The second section deals with AR in medical, biological, and human bodies. The third and final section contains a number of new and useful applications in daily living and learning

#Moment: Creating Moments of Truth Through Experiential Interior Design

Interior Design is a multi-billion dollar industry that employs a variety of sensorial elements to shape perception and create positive Moments of Truth. Part science and part art, design practices must adapt as market demands shift. The influence of today’s digital market exposes gaps whereby sensorial elements of space are overlooked, resulting in skewed Moments of Truth. This paper examines the aesthetic experience as part of a proposed business design equation wherein each sense and design element influences the holistic spatial experience. A presentation of research will follow, wherein application of the equation demonstrates a framework for how to develop interior space holistically to communicate the desired Moment of Truth. This examination of aesthetic perception and experiential actuality advances the science behind design, and empowers industry players to understand how to design and communicate more effectively to better satisfy aesthetic demands while still meeting the needs of the human condition
