Although I admit I wasn't as interested in the AR department, it was still enjoyable to learn the possibilities of it. The VR part is the reason why I read this book and I got way more than I thought I would from this book. This book will take you from origins of VR all the way to what's happening now (yes it's outdated which is why Charlie Fink has a link that constantly update the information). This is an inspiring and excellent book about everything VR

Es un libro interesante para quien no tiene idea de RA/RV cómo introducción, no se necesita un conocimiento técnico en nada para poder entenderlo.
Te descargas una aplicación para leer los códigos QR del libro y que sea interactivo pero están desactualizados, los videos no existen en la nube o no se tiene permisos para ver la información escaneada (y supuestamente estas cosas las van actualizando para que esto no pase)
