Ten awesome things to try in Apple Vision Pro ; The ten best apps for Apple Vision Pro.Apple Vision Pro For Dummies is a practical guide to Apple's first new product in eight years. Considered a "spatial computer," Vision Pro lets you see your apps right in front of your eyes and interact with the interface using eye movement, hand gestures, and your voice. It fuses virtual reality, where you're completely immersed in a 360-degree digital space, with augmented reality, which lets you see the real world around you, but augmented (or enhanced) with digital information superimposed on top. This book helps you understand visionOS and get started with spatial computing. You'll find step-by-step instructions on using the device, navigating its interface, discovering its deep feature set, and using all the integrated applications. The Dummies series is your trusted tech mentor, and we're here to get you up to speed with the all-new Vision Pro.

VRx : how virtual therapeutics will revolutionize medicine / by Spiegel, Brennan,author.(CARDINAL)837450;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A virtualist is a doctor who specializes in virtual medicine. She uses tools like VR headsets, spatial acoustics, haptic feedback, and even olfactory mimicry to induce reactions in patients' bodies that help treat a variety of physiological and psychological conditions, from chronic pain, to compulsive behavior, without the use of pharmaceuticals or surgical techniques. Virtualists don't exist yet, but after reading VRx they just might. In recent years, scientists have established that people's perceptions - their subjective experiences of the world - influence how their bodies work. We typically have little control over our perceptions, particularly when we are sick. But what could we do if we did? In VRx Brennan Spiegel introduces readers to a new kindof medicine, called virtual therapeutics, answering exactly this question, using technology that is already available.It works through two basic but powerful psychological concepts: embodied cognition, the idea that thought processes involve the whole body, not just the brain; and presence, the ability of virtual reality to trick your body into thinking it's somewhere that it isn't, or can do something that it can't usually do. VRx takes readers on a mindbending journey through the ways in which these deep connections between our minds and our bodies are being put to good use. We learn about the woman who endures an exceptionally painful labor by completing breathing exercises on a digital beach, the schizophrenic patient who literally confronts the demon inside his head, the burn victims who are able to manage their pain better after traversing snowy virtual landscapes, and the doctor who confronted his own fear of mortality by watching himself die. Brimming with extraordinary stories of the power of virtual therapeutics to treat both physical and psychological conditions, VRx offers nothing short of a completely new way of healing"--

Through the storm / by Ringo, John,1963-author.(CARDINAL)342297; Sherrer, Lydia,author.;
"Becoming a global celebrity overnight would make most people happy. Not Lynn Raven. As a teenage gaming prodigy, she's enjoyed years of anonymity behind the virtual mask of Larry Coughlin, war-hardened vet and virtual gaming mercenary. But now Lynn has stepped out of the shadows to compete in the cutting-edge augmented reality game TransDimensional Hunter that has taken the world by storm. And she's winning. But with success has come swarms of paparazzi drones, jealous teammates, and a backstabbing rivalteam that will use any trick in the book to ruin her. Then there's the game itself. At times, the "augmented" reality seems too real for Lynn's comfort, and strange accidents keep happening. Something is going on; she just has to figure out what. Lynn would much rather fight monsters than do paparazzi interviews, but somehow she'll have to master both--and pass her senior year to boot. She managed to step into the real, but will the storm of reality now defeat her for good?"--

This new edition has been updated and expanded to include the latest developments in artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT and other chatbots, machine learning, and open-source AI. The text also discusses the role AI and robotics play in popular culture and modern society, recent calls to regulate the artificial intelligence industry and how the industry is expected to evolve in the future. More than 120 easy-to-understand entries, many with illustrations and photographs, cover: Augmented Reality; Machine Learning; Knowledge Acquisition; Pattern Recognition; Self-Management; Virtual Reality. These entries cover many important aspects of AI and robotics, including basic principles of robotic motion and engineering, neural engineering and human-computer interaction, programming languages and operating systems, and the mathematics that govern computation. The role of robotics and AI in war, fraud, and terrorism is also examined, as well as how these fields are portrayed in popular culture, which ultimately reflects how we perceive the line between human and machine. Entries begin by specifying related Fields of Study, followed by an Abstract and then a list of Key Concepts summarizing important points; all entries end with a helpful Further Reading section." -From publisher.

The home front / by Vandenburg, Margaret.(CARDINAL)703512;
"The Barrons like to think of themselves as a typical American family. Never mind the fact that Todd drops bombs on Afghan targets one minute and sits down to dinner with his wife and kids the next. A drone pilot stationed in Nevada, he manages to compartmentalize the conflicting demands of combat and family life until their son Max is diagnosed with autism. His wife Rose deploys an army of specialists, surfing the out limits of the Web for a miracle cure. Meanwhile, Max clings to compulsive isolation and order wearing the same tan clothes, eating the same round foods, lining up trucks or Legos or whatever else needs to be lined up to fend off the chaos of normalcy. Unhinged by their son's prognosis, Rose resorts to New Age magical thinking to cope with her own sense of losing control. Todd feels curiously indifferent, watching his wife and son retreat further and further into la la land. It's a familiar feeling, symptomatic of his Chair Force job waging virtual war. The Barrons continue to drift apart until a gifted behavioral therapist intervenes, reviving the dream of discovering a common language. The Home Front is both deeply personal and culturally relevant, a family portrait of the uncanny connection between autism, drone warfare, and virtual reality. Without a real diagnosis of the problem, the prognosis isn't good."--Publisher.
