Designing for Mixed Reality
Kharis O'Connell, O'Reilly
Today’s interaction designers generally operate within well-researched and documented constraints for both web and mobile applications—but not for much longer.

In this O’Reilly report, author Kharis O’Connell guides you through the new realm of mixed reality. You’ll discover the difference between designing for arenas rather than web or mobile screen rectangles, and examine some of the supporting tools, technologies, and techniques that will enable you to make the transition.
