This book provides an in-depth exploration of the field of augmented reality (AR) in its entirety and sets out to distinguish AR from other inter-related technologies like virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR).

 The author presents AR from its initial philosophies and early developments, to its current technologies and its impact on our modern society, to its possible future developments; providing readers with the tools to understand issues relating to defining, building, and using our perception of what is represented in our perceived reality, and ultimately how we assimilate and react to this information. 

Augmented Reality: Where We Will All Live can be used as a comprehensive guide to the field of AR and provides valuable insights for technologists, marketers, business managers, educators and academics who are interested in the field of augmented reality; its concepts, history, practices and the science behind this rapidly advancing field of research and development.

“Peddie … has constructed a book of ten well-organized chapters that present a broad examination of AR and provide readers with an inclusive definition that discriminates AR from similar technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR). … The chapters contain an appropriate list of references. … a great starting point for those who wish to gain a broad overview of the issues and methodologies that support AR. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals.” (J. Beidler, Choice, Vol. 55 (4), December, 2017)
