This is the 2nd edition of a comprehensive primary reference to building 3D user interfaces and interactions. Five pioneering researchers and practitioners cover the full spectrum of emerging applications, techniques, and best practices. Joseph J. LaViola Jr., Ernst Kruijff, Ryan P. McMahan, Doug Bowman, Ivan P. Poupyrev combine theoretical foundations, analysis of leading devices, and empirically validated design guidelines.
