Forward

Augmented and Virtual Reality are the future of information access as we know it.

Through the advances of smart-device development and evolution, various essential components required to implement augmented and virtual information display and real-world overlay functions have become viable.

Micro displays, wireless connectivity, and depth camera spatial sensory position location components have allowed augmented and virtual realty systems and applications to evolve organically.

Humans already benefit from near instantaneous access to information with conventional search engines and cloud-based data repositories including mapping, image recognition and information overlay registration. Wearable visor- based displays can now be aware of their exact position and place in the real world and offer a user enhanced information on the spot and relative to their senses and point-of-view.

The AR / VR SourceBook© is an information repository for and and all things related to this emerging area of development and the attendant philosophy that will govern it's adoption in present and future society at large.
