Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This book examines the concept of mixed reality (MR) and its applications to design collaboration, architecture, construction, and education and learning. ... This book is well organized into five major sections ... . will help readers grasp the current state of MR in the field of architecture design. ... the book provides an in-depth examination of virtuality and reality concepts, which were identified in broad ranging areas such as scientific visualization and collaboration, thus allowing readers to engage with MR from a more fundamental viewpoint." (Jina Huh, ACM Computing Reviews, April, 2009)
