Science & Technology

In recent years, Mixed and Augmented Reality has been expanding from an exciting research field into a commercially viable technology. The field is highly interdisciplinary, combining work in diverse disciplines, ranging from human centered research into user interfaces, interaction techniques, education, design, human factors, wearable computing and mobile computing, through more technology oriented research including computer graphics, display technology, computer vision, sensors, signal processing and computer networking. The growing interest in M&AR applications is creating new challenges for research in all of these areas.

We invite papers, posters, workshops, panels, tutorials submissions in the general field of Mixed and Augmented Reality.

All topics relevant to Mixed Reality are of interest. This includes, but is not limited to:

Information Presentation

Visual, aural, haptic and olfactory augmentation
Multisensory rendering, registration and synchronization
Mediated and diminished reality
Photo-realistic and non photo-realistic rendering
Real-time and non real-time interactive rendering

Input

Acquisition of 3D video and scene descriptions
Video processing and streaming
Projector-camera systems
Calibration and registration of sensing systems

MASH’D, The Human Side of Technology

The 2014 ISMAR MASH’D program is celebrating the convergence of diverse creative disciplines that will be defining future AR/MR experience. Formerly called the Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) track, this program invites a broader base of contributors addressing the transformative, human-side of AR/MR technology. Providing a diverse program of exhibition, discourse and research in a rapidly enriching AR/MR experience, we invite artists, musicians, media producers, humanity scholars, social scientists, educators, and experience and product designers to explore the potential of Augmented and Mixed Reality real-world applications. Contributors are invited to present and contextualize creative work in AR or MR media forms, and to reflect on the place of these technologies in various fields of art and design. Scholars are

invited to present work that analyzes or critiques AR/MR in the contexts of current social forms or the history of art and media. We welcome papers, posters, panels, case studies, and demos from academic, civic and commercial sectors. We strongly recommend creative workshops to be submitted to the ISMAR Workshops program.

Topics of interest include Mixed and Augmented Reality works in relation to, but not limited to:

Media Art

Performing arts
Art History
Architecture
Urban design
Entertainment (stories, games, toys)
Cultural Heritage
Social media
Education, training, therapy

Fields and Approaches of interest include, but are not limited to:

Media Studies
Cultural Studies
Literary Studies
Game Studies
Practitioner Case Studies
Design research
Communications
Instructional technologies
Telepresence & perception
