ISMAR 2015: Augmentation Without Boundaries<br>
<br>
The 14th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality<br>
29 September - 3 October 2015, Fukuoka, Japan<br>
<a href="http://ismar.vgtc.org/" target="_blank">http://ismar.vgtc.org/</a><br>
==============================<u></u>===========================<br>
<br>
ISMAR 2015, the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and<br>
Mixed Reality (MR), will be held in beautiful Fukuoka, Japan.<br>
<br>
The theme of this year’s conference is "Augmentation Without<br>
Boundaries". ISMAR is responding to the recent explosion of commercial<br>
and research activities related to AR, MR, and Virtual Reality (VR) by<br>
continuing the expansion of its scope that started last year. ISMAR<br>
2015 will cover the full range of technologies encompassed by the MR<br>
continuum, from interfaces in the real world to fully immersive<br>
experiences. This range goes far beyond the traditional definition of<br>
AR, which focused on precise 3D tracking, visual display, and<br>
real-time performance. We specifically invite contributions from areas<br>
fundamental to AR/VR/MR, including Computer Graphics, Human-Computer<br>
Interaction, Psychology, Computer Vision, and Optics.<br>
<br>
====== Notable Changes for ISMAR 2015 ======<br>
• All accepted Full Papers will be directly published in a<br>
special issue of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer<br>
Graphics (TVCG)<br>
• Program Committee members are being solicited through an<br>
open call; we hope that this further increases transparency and widens<br>
scope<br>
• A fixed submission date, 15 March, for this and all future<br>
ISMAR conferences is introduced to help planning by participants<br>
<br>
====== Important Deadlines ======<br>
• Submission: 15 March 2015 (all deadlines: 23:59 US Pacific Time)<br>
• Authors receive reviews: 1 May 2015<br>
• Authors’ rebuttal due: 10 May 2015<br>
• Final notification: 1 June 2015<br>
• Camera-ready version due: 7 July 2015<br>
<br>
====== Submission Categories ======<br>
Submissions in two categories are solicited:<br>
• Full Papers: 8-10 pages, presentation at conference,<br>
published in IEEE TVCG<br>
• Short Papers: up to 6 pages, presentation at conference,<br>
published in ISMAR proceedings<br>
• Successful Full and Short Papers will be held to the same<br>
contribution-per-page ratio<br>
<br>
In addition, all accepted submissions will be published in the IEEE<br>
Xplore digital library. Detailed submission and review guidelines will<br>
be posted soon on the conference webpage. Poster submissions will be<br>
accepted as usual with a submission date to be announced later.<br>
<br>
===== Topics of Interest =====<br>
All topics relevant to AR, VR, and MR are of interest. These include,<br>
but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
=== Information Presentation ===<br>
- Visual, aural, haptic, and olfactory augmentation<br>
- Multisensory rendering, registration, and synchronization<br>
- Mediated and diminished reality<br>
- Photo-realistic and non-photo-realistic rendering<br>
- Real-time and non-real-time interactive rendering<br>
<br>
=== Input ===<br>
- Acquisition of 3D video and scene descriptions<br>
- Video processing and streaming<br>
- Projector-camera systems<br>
- Calibration and registration of sensing systems<br>
- Location sensing technologies (of any kind, including non-real-time)<br>
- Sensor fusion<br>
- Wearable sensors, ambient-device interaction<br>
- Touch, tangible and gesture interfaces<br>
- Smart spaces<br>
<br>
=== Output ===<br>
- Display hardware, including 3D, stereoscopic, and multi-user<br>
- Live video stream augmentation (e.g., in robotics and broadcast)<br>
- Wearable and situated displays (e.g., eyewear, smart<br>
watches, pico-projectors)<br>
- Wearable actuators and augmented humans<br>
<br>
=== User Experience Design ===<br>
- Collaborative interfaces<br>
- Interaction techniques<br>
- Multi-modal input and output<br>
- Usability studies and experiments<br>
- Technology acceptance and social implications<br>
<br>
=== System Architecture ===<br>
- Distributed and collaborative architectures<br>
- Real-time performance issues<br>
- Wearable and mobile computing<br>
- Online services<br>
- Scene description and management issues<br>
- Content creation and management<br>
<br>
=== Applications ===<br>
- Personal information systems<br>
- Architecture<br>
- Art, cultural heritage, education and training<br>
- Entertainment, broadcast<br>
- Industrial, military, emergency response<br>
- Medical<br>
<br>
Emerging areas of particular interest include:<br>
<br>
* HUMAN PERFORMANCE & PERCEPTION: Learning, training, therapy,<br>
rehabilitation, Virtual analytics and entertainment are beginning to<br>
leverage the convergence of applied AR/VR/MR research to expand how we<br>
experience and enhance the limits of human experience.<br>
<br>
* AUGMENTED REALITY WITHOUT 3D REGISTRATION: Lightweight eyewear such<br>
as Google Glass can be used for augmenting and supporting our daily<br>
lives even without 3D registration of virtual objects. Here,<br>
technologies for context, behaviour and object recognition together<br>
with other wearable sensors using computer vision, sensor networks and<br>
new types of onboard and external sensing technologies become more<br>
relevant.<br>
