Foreword
Three-dimensional user interfaces are finally receiving their due! Research in 3D interaction and 3D display began in the 1960s, pioneered by researchers like Ivan Sutherland, Bob Sproull, Fred Brooks, Andrew Ortony, and Richard Feldman. Although many commercially successful 3D applications exist—computer-aided design and simulation, radiation therapy, drug discovery, surgical simulation, scientific and information visualization, entertainment—no author or group of authors has written a comprehensive and authoritative text on the subject, despite a continuing and rich set of research findings, prototype systems, and products.
Why is that? Why is it that this book by Doug Bowman, Ernst Kruijff, Joe LaViola, and Ivan Poupyrev is the first ...
