Considering the emergence of artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, 3D video and television, and holography, it is logical that we should also begin to create applications and businesses driven by these technologies. The 12 chapters of Accentuated Innovations in Cognitive Info-Communication focus on the research and development of state-of-the-art information in Cognitive Info-Communication. This interdisciplinary research area has emerged as a synergy between Info-Communication and Cognitive Sciences. It presents a synthetic, holistic combination of coherent technologies that will become increasingly important in the coming decade. It is a teaching and reference guide for VR, robotics, virtual classrooms and institutions, and medicine at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The discussed book is an immersive learning experience for students and teachers worldwide. In addition, it applies to other fields such as healthcare, performing arts, and television.
