La Realidad Aumentada ha pasado de ser una tecnología emergente a una de las tendencias de diseño interactivo más atractivas en la actualidad. Artistas y diseñadores sin apenas experiencia en programacion pueden aprender rapidamente a crear sus aplicaciones con ayuda de diversas herramientas, como el lenguaje de programacion Processing, el software de animacion Blender, Arduino, Flash y otras muchas.Esta completa obra, que describe la creacion de aplicaciones de realidad aumentada para smartphones, Mac, PC y Web, contiene tecnicas de software, codigo practico, consejos sobre hardware, fundamentos de modelado, creacion de prototipos y mucho mas. La Realidad Aumentada es arte y programacion, y Tony Mullen combina a la perfeccion ambos aspectos para que aprenda a crear aplicaciones de forma sencilla y eficaz.

La intervención de los sistemas informáticos de sobremesa ha tenido en los últimos años una influencia muy significativa en el diseño gráfico; en un sentido meramente práctico, ha establecido un método mas economico y flexible de obtener los resultados, en un sentido mas amplio, ha aportado nuevas soluciones para crear y desarrollar el proyecto grafico de manera innovadora, reforzando e incrementando la capacidad creadora del diseñador y, consecuentemente, incitandole a explorar nuevos metodos plasticos.Por lo tanto, es necesario elaborar nuevas estrategias creativas y operativas capaces de explotar una relacion coherente entre las actuales alternativas tecnologicas y nuestra disciplina. Este libro intenta responder a esta demanda.Ofrece una informacion resumida, didactica e inteligible, adaptada a las necesidades concretas del diseñador y orientada a concederle una comprension de la materia que le ayude a adquirir cierta independencia. O, cuando menos, con la que pueda contrastar y precisar sus propios conocimientos.El capitulo 1 hace una descripcion de la estructura general de un sistema informatico que luego se extiende a una explicacion mas detallada sobre los elementos principales que lo componen, UCP, perifericos, comunicaciones y programas, siempre bajo el punto de vista de lo que resulta decisivo en nuestro trabajo. La idea fundamental ha sido distinguir entre diferentes tecnologias y conceptos tecnicos esenciales para su valoracion.Los capitulos 2, 3, 4 y 5 explican los criterios fundamentales por los que se rigen los programas que ofrecen soporte a cuatro especialidades del diseño: dibujo vectorial, imagen bitmap, tipografia y compaginacion. Estos temas son objeto preferente del libro.El capitulo 6 ofrece una orientacion sobre sistemas fisicos y tecnicas de reproduccion digital, asi como procedimientos que afectan a la comunicacion con nuestros colaboradores en las fotomecanicas.Cada capitulo comienza con una puesta en escena, es decir, un comentario general sobre el entorno que caracteriza a cada programa o espacio laboral. Luego se detiene en la explicacion de las tecnicas y las rutinas basicas de cada programa o en los aspectos principales de los cuales nace una tecnologia, explicacion que poco a poco va profundizando en cuestiones mas complej

Michael F. Cohen, John R. WallaceThe goal of image synthesis is to create, using the computer, a visual experience that is identical to what a viewer would experience when viewing a real environment. "Radiosity and Realistic Image Synthesis" offers the first comprehensive look at the radiosity method for image synthesis and the tools required to approach this elusive goal. Basic concepts and mathematical fundamentals underlying image synthesis and radiosity algorithms are covered thoroughly. (A basic knowledge of undergraduate calculus is assumed). The algorithms that have been developed to implement the radiosity method ranging from environment subdivision to final display are discussed. Successes and difficulties in implementing and using these algorithms are highlighted. Extensions to the basic radiosity method to include glossy surfaces, fog or smoke, and realistic light sources are also described. There are 16 pages of full colour images and over 100 illustrations to explain the development and show the results of the radiosity method. Results of applications of this new technology from a variety of fields are also included.Michael Cohen has worked in the area of realistic image synthesis since 1983 and was instrumental in the development of the radiosity method. He is currently an assistant professor of computer science at Princeton University. John Wallace is a software engineer at 3D/EYE, Inc., where he is the project leader for the development of Hewlett-Packard's ATRCore radiosity and ray tracing library. A chapter on the basic concepts of image synthesis is contributed by Patrick Hanrahan. He has worked on the topic of image synthesis at Pixar, where he was instrumental in the development of the Renderman software. He has also led research on the hierarchical methods at Princeton University, where he is an associate professor of computer science. All three authors have written numerous articles on radiosity that have appeared in the SIGGAPH proceedings and elsewhere. They have also taught the SIGGRAPH course on radiosity for 5 years.This is the first comprehensive book written about radiosity, which: features applications from the fields of computer graphics, architecture, industrial design, and related computer aided design technologies; offers over 100 illustrations and 16 pages of full-color images demonstrating the results of radiosity methods; and, contains a

The radiosity method, originally a computation tool for thermal engineers, has evolved in recent years into a powerful and flexible simulation technique for radiant energy transfer. The ability to compute quantitatively accurate simulations of light transfers has opened a vast domain of applications for computer graphics. Thermal radiation studies, lighting design and remote sensing are a few of the fields affected by this exciting technique for producing synthetic images.Here, the authors reformulate some of the most recent and innovative research results into a consistent framework, allowing readers to quickly acquire a comprehensive view of the technique and its derivatives. In addition to reviewing practical issues and offering recommendations, the authors also provide a complete theoretical presentation of the various radiosity algorithms.Special highlights include 93 illustrations and 45 color plates and a practical guide which provides detailed information on various design issues for the development of global illumination software.
