The fields of Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) seek to interactively mix virtual media with a person’s perception of the physical world around them. Whether interactively combining physical and virtual objects and environments in 3D, or reacting to location or other aspects of a users context, these paradigms enable fascinating new types of user interfaces, and are beginning to show significant impact on industry and society.

This year we are proud to present the 11th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2012). The symposium will be held on Nov. 5 - 8, 2012 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, USA.

ISMAR 2012 now invites contributions to a range of categories for the the Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program:

Arts, Media & Humanities Program:

The 2012 ISMAR Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program invites artists, designers, and scholars to explore the potential of Mixed and Augmented
Reality. Artists and designers are invited to present and contextualize creative work in MR or AR 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, and demos, as well as proposals for panels and workshops.
