ISMAR 2012
Call for Participation
The 11th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality
Nov 5 - 8, 2012, Georgia Tech, Atlanta, USA
http://ismar.vgtc.org/

The fields of Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) seek to
interactively mix virtual media with a person's perception of the
physical world around them. Whether interactively combining physical
and virtual objects and environments in 3D, or reacting to location or
other aspects of a users context, these paradigms enable fascinating new
types of user interfaces, and are beginning to show significant impact
on industry and society.

This year we are proud to present the 11th IEEE International Symposium
on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2012). The symposium will be held
on Nov. 5 - 8, 2012 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, USA.
* ISMAR 2012 now invites contributions to a range of categories: *
- Papers and Posters to the Science & Technology (S&T) program
- Papers and Posters to the Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program
- Innovation Workshops
- Informative Tutorials
- Demonstrations
- Art Exhibits
- Tracking Competition

* Science and Technology Program: *

The field of Mixed and Augmented Reality is highly interdisciplinary,
ranging from human centered research into user interfaces, interaction
techniques, education, design, human factors, wearable computing and
mobile computing, through to more technology oriented research including
computer graphics, display technology, computer vision, sensors, signal
processing and computer networking. We invite contributions in all
categories relating to, but not limited to, MR/AR aspects of:
- Sensors
- Information presentation
- User interaction
- System architecture
- Human factors
- MR/AR Applications

* Arts, Media & Humanities Program: *

The 2012 ISMAR Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program invites artists,
designers, and scholars to explore the potential of Mixed and Augmented
Reality. Artists and designers are invited to present and contextualize
creative work in MR or AR media forms and to reflect on the place of
these technologies in various fields of art and design. Scholars are
invited to present work that analyzes or critiques AR/MR in the contexts
of current social forms or the history of art and media. We invite
contributions in all categories in relation to, but not limited to:
- Media art, Performing arts, Art History, Architecture, Urban design,
Game and toys, Cultural Heritage, Social media
- Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Literary Studies, Game Studies,
Practitioner Case Studies, Design research, Communications
