ISMAR 2011- International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality

Call for Papers and Participation

The Tenth IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality
Oct. 26-29, 2011, Basel, Switzerland

The fields of Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) seek to
interactively combine real and virtual objects and environments in
3D. The basic paradigm enables fascinating new types of user
interfaces, and is beginning to show significant impact on industry
and society. The field is highly interdisciplinary, and MR/AR concepts
are applicable to a wide range of applications.
This year we are proud to present the 2011 IEEE International
Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2011). The symposium will be held on Oct 26–29, 2011 at Congress Center in Basel,
Switzerland.
We invite you all to participate in this great event for
the exchange of new ideas in this exciting field!
ISMAR now invites contributions in two programs: the Science & Technology (S&T) program and a complementary Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program.

* Science and Technology Track *
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 submissions in the general field of Mixed and Augmented
Reality. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, MR/AR
aspects of:
- Sensing;
- Modeling;
- Information presentation;
- Interaction;
- Human factors;
- System architectures;
- Displays;
- MR/AR applications.

* Arts, Media & Humanities Track *
The 2011 ISMAR Arts, Media and Humanities chairs invite artists,
designers, architects, urbanists, and scholars to explore the
potential of Mixed and Augmented Reality within their respective
fields. We welcome artifacts, musings, probings, discourses, and
insights to be presented at ISMAR 2011 in the form of papers, posters,
art exhibits and performances, panels, workshops, demos, and
tutorials.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, case studies,
deployments, prototypes, and evaluations of Mixed and Augmented
Reality in:
- Art;
- Media art;
- Performing arts;
- Architecture;
- Urban design;
- Cultural heritage;
- Game design;
- Toys;
- Social media;
- Transhumanism;
- Design research;
- Product design;
- Advertising and marketing.

Submission Categories
The following are the categories of solicited types of work for both
tracks. For detailed submission and formatting instructions, visit the
