The Infinite Retina
Irena Cronin and Robert Scoble's new book "The Infinite Retina: Spatial Computing, Augmented Reality, and How a Collision of New Technologies is Bringing About the Next Tech Revolution" is a fascinating new book. The authors weave a rich panorama of the current status and future of Spatial Computing, much like the AR Cloud they describe, which is creating a digital 3D map of our environment. They expose us to the visionaries, industry experts, firms, and products that are driving this technological transition and the changes it will bring, as well as the technologies themselves.
Authors Irena Cronin and Robert Scoble attempt to answer that question in The Infinite Retina by assisting you in understanding where Spatial Computing—an augmented reality in which humans and machines can interact in a physical space—came from, where it's going, and why it's so fundamentally different from computers or mobile phones that came before it—came from, where it's going, and why it's so fundamentally different from computers or mobile phones that came. They provide seven future visions as well as the industrial sectors where Spatial Computing will have the most impact: transportation, technology, media, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, finance, and education.
One of the book's strongest points is that these technologies are taught simply and with vivid examples that non-technical readers can comprehend and connect to. The technological zeitgeist is captured in The Infinite Retina. The extensive, thought-provoking topic matter may provide dozens of TED Talks. It was fascinating to hear how things that were previously only seen in science fiction literature and movies will be realized in this decade. Futurists, as well as business and technology experts, will surely like the book. However, anybody interested in the impending seismic upheaval should enjoy the authors' wide-ranging, thorough, and fascinating investigation of the myriad ways Spatial Computing will touch our daily lives.
"If you care about the future of technology and the impact it will have - and is already having - on how we live, work, and connect, The Infinite Retina is a must-read. This book offers a fascinating futurist perspective on spatial computing, including where it is today and where it is headed. Irena Cronin and Robert Scoble provide a comprehensive overview of the emerging technologies that will have the most impact on all of us in the future decade."—Sebastian Thrun, CEO of Kitty Hawk, and Co-founder and President of Udacity.
