Technology is increasingly built to surround people with digital experiences and connected objects. These curations cover virtual reality, augmented reality apps that blend digital content into the real world, the internet of things reshaping industry and homes, and the cyberpunk fiction of the 1980s that explored high-tech, dystopian futures.
Augmented reality applications are experiences first introduced commercially in entertainment and gaming businesses, and AR frameworks include ARKit and ARCore. What does it mean for digital and physical worlds to blend, and how can you understand that relationship? The lessons consider how augmented reality connects digital elements with the world around us.
Virtual reality experiences are created with headsets that place a small screen before the eyes or in specially designed rooms with multiple large screens, often using sound and video feedback and sometimes other sensory or force feedback. What makes virtual worlds feel real, and how do immersion and sensory feedback shape that experience? The lessons consider how technology and perception draw people into virtual worlds.
The internet of things describes physical objects with technologies that connect and exchange data over networks, best known to consumers through smart home products, though its largest applications are in business and industry. The lessons answer how IoT reshapes industry and society, helping readers understand its effects across connected systems and everyday life.
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction subgenre set in a dystopian future, combining "lowlife and high tech." In 1984, William Gibson's influential debut novel Neuromancer helped solidify cyberpunk as a genre; the path explores its urban settings, origins, and related dystopian fiction.
