IEEE ISMAR 2015 Workshop on<br>
<br>
Collaboration in Mediated and Augmented Reality (CiMAR)<br>
<br>
<br>

=========================================================================<br>
<br>
The world is becoming more complex every day, so problem solving often<br>
requires teams of experts to work together. To do this effectively there<br>
is a need for face-to-face and remote collaborative tools, and a variety<br>
of meeting support and telepresence technologies have been developed.<br>
However most of them involve some variation of traditional video<br>
conferencing or desktop tools, which are severely limited in their ability<br>
to effectively convey spatial and collaborative cues. This workshop will<br>
focus on how Augmented Reality (AR) and Mediated Reality (MR) technology<br>
can overcome this and other limitations, making it possible to develop<br>
radically new types of collaborative experiences.<br>
<br>
<br>
With AR, virtual data is spatially overlaid on top of the real world,<br>
allowing the flexibility of virtual reality to be used for collaboration<br>
while being grounded in physical reality. In contrast, MR refers to the<br>
ability to add to, subtract information from, or otherwise manipulate<br>
one's perception of reality. In combination, AR and MR technologies could<br>
be used to merge the shared perceived realities of different users as well<br>
as enrich their own individual experience in a collaborative task.<br>
<br>
<br>
This workshop addresses the above vision. Our goal is to bring together<br>
researchers who are interested in developing face-to-face and remote<br>
collaborative systems using AR and MR technologies. We will build a<br>
picture of current and prior research on collaboration in AR and MR, as<br>
well as set up a common research agenda for work going forward. This, in<br>
turn, can be used to grow the research community.<br>
<br>
<br>
==================<br>
Topics of interest<br>
==================<br>
The workshop will address open research issues, including, but not limited<br>
to:<br>
- Case studies on using MR/AR for face-to-face or remote collaboration<br>
- Tools for building collaborative MR/AR systems<br>
- Effects of MR/AR on trust, presence, and coordination<br>
- Interaction models for collaboration in MR/AR<br>
- Tools for collaboration in MR/AR<br>
- Collaboration awareness in MR/AR<br>
- Methods for evaluating collaborative MR/AR systems<br>
<br>
<br>
===========<br>
Submissions<br>
===========<br>
We will accept contributions in two different formats:<br>
- Position papers, not exceeding 2 pages.<br>
- Full papers, not exceeding 8 pages.<br>
<br>
<br>
Position papers will be reviewed by the workshop organizers and on<br>
acceptance be published on the workshop website. During the workshop,<br>
position papers will be presented as short pitches. The submission<br>
deadline for position papers is September 15 2015.<br>
<br>
Full papers will be peer-reviewed and after acceptance be published in<br>
IEEE Xplore. During the workshop, full papers will be presented as short<br>
presentations. The deadline for submission of full papers is July 1, 2015.<br>
Authors will be notified about acceptance of their papers on August 1,<br>
2015. Camera-ready versions of full papers are due on August 10, 2015.<br>
