Aims & Scope

Best Paper Award ISMAR2010:Differential Instant Radiosity for Mixed Reality

Science and Technology Program:

In recent years, MR/AR has been expanding from an exciting research proposition into a publicly- acknowledged technology.

The field is highly interdisciplinary, combining work in disciplines such as signal processing, computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing, computer networks, displays, and sensors. The growing interest in MR/AR applications is creating new challenges for research in all of these areas.

We invite papers, posters, workshops, tutorials submissions in the general field of Mixed and Augmented Reality.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, MR/AR aspects of:

Sensors
- Acquisition of 3D scene descriptions
- Calibration methods
- Position and orientation tracking technology
- Sensor fusion
- Vision-based registration and tracking
Information presentation
- Aural, haptic and olfactory augmentation
- Display and view management
- Mediated and diminished reality
- Object overlay and spatial layout techniques
- Photo-realistic rendering
- Real-time rendering
User interaction
