This edited book provides an in-depth exploration of the realm of "Everyday Virtual and Augmented Reality." As Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies continue to permeate our homes and workplaces, a multitude of new use cases and scenarios emerge, accompanied by significant challenges that require attention. These challenges encompass the design and implementation of appropriate VR/AR applications for ordinary environments that were not initially designed with the explicit intention of supporting VR systems. Everyday/domestic environments present unique challenges that differ from those encountered in academic or professional settings, such as limited spaces, the presence of obstacles, the absence of instrumentation, social and organizational restrictions, and more.

To address these challenges, we have compiled the latest work from the vibrant Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality research community. By combining a comprehensive presentation of general definitions, characterization of the field, interaction concepts, and techniques, as well as a diverse range of use cases and areas, this book offers a comprehensive discussion on scientific and engineering methods that enable the development of VR/AR systems in everyday contexts.

The constellation of different environment examples, spanning education, sports, consumer markets, and more, from across the globe and various platforms, provides a rich tapestry of insights into the development of VR/AR systems. It showcases the diverse applications and implementations of VR/AR technology, highlighting its potential to revolutionize various aspects of our lives.

Whether you are a researcher, developer, or simply interested in the future of technology, this edited book is a valuable resource for gaining a deeper understanding of Everyday Virtual and Augmented Reality. It serves as a gateway to the latest advancements, trends, and challenges in this rapidly evolving field, equipping you with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the world of VR/AR and shape its future.
