In this new era of computing, where the iPhone, Xbox Kinect, and similar devices have changed the way we interact with computers, many questions have risen about how modern input devices can be used for more intuitive user interactions. This new book addresses this paradigm shift by looking at user interfaces from an input perspective. The book is divided into four parts:

• Theory of input devices and user interfaces
• Advanced topics on reducing noise on input devices using Kalman Filters
• A collection of hands-on approaches that allow you to gain experience with some devices
• A case study examining speech as input

Focusing on geometric intuition, the new edition of this bestseller gives the necessary information for understanding how images get onto the screen by using the complementary approaches of ray tracing and rasterization. Highlights of the fourth edition include:

• Updated coverage of existing topics
• Major updates and improvements to several chapters, including texture mapping, graphics hardware, signal processing, and data structures
• A text now printed entirely in four-color
