Prototyping Augmented Reality

After read the book, you can create some AR project for amazing your friend (with a little code).

I think the book is great. I have project that I'm working. This book is helping create all my protypes.

This is probably one of the best "hands on" book that interweaves smoothly complex technological subjects such as augmented reality, programming, 3D computer modeling and animation. I found the hardest part is the processing programming part to grasp but I knew nothing about programming before and I bought another book to be able to have more basic knowledge than what this book offers. This book is worth much more than it's monetary value since the author is slowly explaining in details each subject through projects and examples. However this is not a "coffee table" theory book, it does offer a thorough background about each software the reader will use; but the core importance of this book lies in the consequential small projects using FREE open source software to construct the augmented reality character presented at the cover of the book. If the reader isn't willing to spend considerable time to follow the book software tutorials using the computer then the book's substance will totally be wasted. I recommend this book to all game designers, 3D enthusiasts, 3D artists whether professionals or amateurs; they will learn things that probably only specific diverse courses teaches at university and college levels.
