<pre class="k9mail"><hr /><br /> IEEE ISMAR 2015 Workshop on<br /><br /> Collaboration in Mediated and Augmented Reality (CiMAR)<br /><br /> September 29, 2015 - Fukuoka, Japan<br /><br /> (EXTENDED) Full paper submission deadline: July 23, 2015<br /><br /> Position paper submission deadline: September 15, 2015<br /><br /> <a href="http://cimar15.wordpress.com">http://cimar15.wordpress.com</a><br /><hr /><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 spat!
ial 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 />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 />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 />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 />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 />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 23, 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 /><br />All contributions must be formatted using the paper templates available at:<br /><br /><a href="http://ismar.vgtc.org/ismar/2015/info/call-participation/submission-guidelines#Others">http://ismar.vgtc.org/ismar/2015/info/call-participation/submission-guidelines#Others</a><br /><br />Submissions m!
