10th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality 2011

Abstract

The conference took place at the Conference Center in Basel, Switzerland. Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) allow the creation of fascinating new types of user interfaces which are beginning to have significant impact on industry and society. MR/AR concepts are applicable to a wide range of applications. The field is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together signal processing, computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing, computer networks, displays, sensors, to name just some of the most important influences. Since 1998, ISMAR and its forerunner events, IWAR/ISAR and ISMR, have been the premier forums in this vital field.

Science and Technology combines work in computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, wearable computing, mobile computing, displays, and sensors. The paper presentation is the core of the conference and gives an overview of current and relevant research worldwide. In the demo & poster session and in the tracking competition scientists in addition will demonstrate the international state of the art.

Arts, Media and Humanities invites artists, designers, architects, urbanists, and scholars to explore Mixed and Augmented Reality within their respective fields. ISMAR 2011 will show a unique art exhibition as part of the New Media Art Festival Shift in Basel, where Artists will investigate the potentiality of Mixed and Augmented Reality concepts.
