Fundamentals of Wearable Computers and Augmented Reality presents a broad coverage of the technologies and interface design issues associated with wearable computers and augmented reality displays both rapidly developing fields in computer science, engineering, and human interface design. This book presents concepts related to the use and underlying technologies of augmented reality and wearable computer systems. There are many application areas for this technology, such as medicine, manufacturing, training, and recreation. Wearable computers will allow a much closer association of information with the user than is possible with traditional desktop computers. This book addresses an important aspect of wearable computers and augmented reality, either from the conceptual or from an application framework. Given the wide coverage of topics on issues related to the display of computer-generated images in the environment, this book can be used as a text for computer science, computer engineering, and interface design courses.

From the beginning in 1967, when the starship Enterprise first set off to seek out new civilizations, we have marveled at the wonders of the computers in "Star Trek". Inspired by the computers described in the popular TV series and its off shoots, Lois Gresh and Robert Weinberg discuss contemporary ideas about computers and their role in our lives. In fact, each of the "Star Trek" shows reflects a distinct mindset -- from the deep distrust of computers in the original series, to the ubiquity of computers in every aspect of life on Deep Space Nine.
Their exploration will yield answers to such puzzling questions as these:
-- When the android Data's head is opened, why are there lights inside?
-- If the Enterprise's computer is artificially intelligent, why doesn't it make more decisions?
-- Could we ever create a holographic doctor like the one on Voyager, or use nonprobes to alter a person's physiology, as the Borg does?
This combination of futurist TV series and futurist science makes for great entertainment -- and great science.
This book was not prepared, licensed, approved, or endorsed by any entity involved in creating or producing the "Star Trek" television series or films.
