However, there are many aspects of XR technologies that are now going to be explored and developed, requiring urgent research in terms of security, privacy, health and safety, long-term effects, addiction risks, and age-related developmental concerns. The aim of the book is to inform all readers of these open issues and challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are currently a great number of interdisciplinary researchers and developers working in the XR R\u0026amp;D field. Recently, XR technologies moved from the Gartner Hype Cycle onto the Plateau of Productivity, signalling that the fundamental XR technologies are now deemed mature and ready for deployment in a wide variety of application areas. This is corroborated by the fact that XR technologies are part of the future Metaverse, a concept that went rapidly mainstream during the time of writing this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoadmapping Extended Reality\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into two parts: (1) fundamentals and (2) applications. The first part covers the main technological aspects of XR. The chapters in this section review and discuss relevant fundamental concepts of XR, the current state-of-the-art, and future challenges. The second part of the book focuses on a wide range of applications of XR, including a future roadmap. Overall, the book offers a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in XR and addresses the needs of a multidisciplinary audience working in both academia and industry, as well as stakeholders at government agencies and non-profit organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is aimed at academic and industrial developers, exploring and developing applications in the XR, VR, AR, AI, smart IoT, and 4th Industrial Revolution space. It includes those solving technology requirements, human factors, evaluation methodology advances, and ROI investigations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000730697964,"sku":"9781119865148","price":429.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/48012faebf1ff2cbecc87532a139761f.jpg?v=1763323501","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/roadmapping-extended-reality-9781119865148","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
