The basic paradigm enables fascinating new types of user<br>interfaces, and is beginning to show significant impact on industry<br>and society. The field is highly interdisciplinary, and MR/AR concepts<br>are applicable to a wide range of applications.<br><br>This year we are proud to present the 2011 IEEE International<br>Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2011). The symposium<br>will be held on Oct 26–29, 2011 at Congress Center in Basel,<br>Switzerland. We invite you all to participate in this great event for<br>the exchange of new ideas in this exciting field! ISMAR now invites<br>contributions in two programs: the Science & Technology (S&T) program<br>and a complementary Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program.<br><br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span> * Science and Technology Track *<br><br>In recent years, MR/AR has been expanding from an exciting research<br>proposition into a publicly-acknowledged technology.<br><br>The field is highly interdisciplinary, combining work in disciplines<br>such as signal processing, computer vision, computer graphics, user<br>interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing,<br>computer networks, displays, and sensors. The growing interest in<br>MR/AR applications is creating new challenges for research in all of<br>these areas.<br><br>We invite submissions in the general field of Mixed and Augmented<br>Reality. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, MR/AR<br>aspects of:<br><br>- Sensing;<br>- Modeling;<br>- Information presentation;<br>- Interaction;<br>- Human factors;<br>- System architectures;<br>- Displays;<br>- MR/AR applications.<br><br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span> * Arts, Media & Humanities Track *<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><br><br>The 2011 ISMAR Arts, Media and Humanities chairs invite artists,<br>designers, architects, urbanists, and scholars to explore the<br>potential of Mixed and Augmented Reality within their respective<br>fields.

For detailed submission and formatting instructions, visit the<br>website at <a href="http://www.ismar11.org/">http://www.ismar11.org</a><br><br>* Papers and Posters (S&T and AMH)<br><br>Regular written papers and posters are solicited. All accepted papers<br>and posters will be published in the proceedings. Papers must have a<br>minimum of four pages and maximum of ten pages, while posters are<br>limited to two pages.<br><br>Note, that there is only one category for papers --there is no<br>distinction between full and short papers. The acceptance for<br>publication will be partly based on the contribution per page of the<br>paper. For example, a paper in six pages will be expected to have more<br>contribution than one with four pages.<br><br>Material simultaneously submitted to ISMAR and another venue will be<br>rejected without review. Please see the web site for full details.<br><br><br>* Innovation Workshops<br><br>ISMAR 2011 will have a series of workshops the day before the<br>conference to cover the innovative applications of MR/AR and newly<br>emerging areas of MR/AR. We invite you to submit workshop proposals<br>with pioneering research and fresh application areas.<br><br><br>* Informative Tutorials<br><br>The purpose of the tutorials is to expand the knowledge of the MR/AR<br>community. Topics can range from introductory for MR/AR novices to<br>highly technical for MR/AR researchers. We invite individuals or teams<br>interested in presenting such a tutorial to submit proposals.<br><br><br>* S&T Demonstrations<br><br>ISMAR 2011 provides exhibition space for showing demonstrations of<br>MR/AR to the community. These demonstrations can take the shape of<br>live, interactive demos, lab/corporate exhibitions, or both.<br><br><br>* Art Exhibits<br><br>ISMAR 2011 is soliciting new art that exploits MR/AR as a medium. We<br>encourage artists to provide proposals for works implemented with AR<br>technologies, as well as for works based on mixed reality concepts.<br><br>Selected work will be shown in the electronic arts festival, Shift,<br>which hosts a traditional exhibition environment. Presentations and<br>panel discussions for invited artists will be held at the conference<br>center.<br><br><br>* Tracking Competition & AMH Contests<br><br>The first Tracking Competition at ISMAR’08 caught much attention. For<br>ISMAR 2011, we will complement this contest with design and game<br>contests. Details regarding the contests (rules, dates) will be made<br>available on the ISMAR conference website in June.<br><br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span> Important Deadlines<br><br>Paper and Poster Abstracts: May 11<br>Paper and Poster Submission: May 16<br>Workshop and Tutorial Proposals: June 3<br>Art Exhibits: June 3<br>Demonstrations: August 15<br>Tracking Competition Entry: August 15<br><br><br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span> Organization and Contact<br><br>General chairs:<br>Prof. Martin Wiedmer, FHNW<br>Dr. Vincent Lepetit, EPFL<br>Program chairs:<br>Science and Technology:<br> Prof. Jun Park, Hongik University<br> Prof. Gerhard Reitmayr, TU Graz<br> Prof. Greg Welch, UNC<br>Arts, Media and Humanities:<br>Dr. Raphael Grasset, HIT Lab NZ/ICG<br>Jan Torpus, FHNW<br>Mark Podlaseck, IBM Research<br><br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Venue<br><br>The symposium will be held at the Congress Center in Basel,<br>Switzerland.
