Aims and Scope of MR/AR:

Mixed reality (MR) and augmented reality (AR) allow for the
convergence of real and virtual worlds. The evolution of novel MR/AR user interfaces
is beginning to have significant impact on industry and society. The
field is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together signal processing, computer
vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, human factors, display and
sensor technologies, and wearable, mobile and ubiquitous computing.
ISMAR 2009 will focus special attention on Mobile MR/AR applications across
different programs and venues.

ISMAR and its forerunners IWAR, ISMR and ISAR, have been the premier
forums in this vital field since 1998 (http://www.ismar-conf.org). This
year, we place particular emphasis on widening the scope of MR/AR toward the
areas of arts, entertainment and the humanities. To this end, the traditional Science & Technology track will be complemented by an Arts, Media and Humanities track with its unique and separate publication. Both
programs will follow ISMAR's stringent publication requirements with reviews
being provided by qualified peers from these respective disciplines.
Topics of the Arts, Media & Humanities Track include, but are not
limited to, the following novel and compelling applications of Mixed & Augmented
Reality. Applications include artistic expression, experiential media
or interpretive pieces that reflect the study of the human condition.

-Art:
The Art program is looking for notable artists that have stretched
the boundaries of expression with the use of Mixed and Augmented
Reality. The creative interaction between real, virtual and the imaginary
realities to create provoking experiences are highly encouraged.
Written papers and posters are to include position statement with
notes and images on approach, implementation and the technology used.

-Media:
The Media program will be accepting submissions from media
practitioners who have stretched the boundaries of the creative impact of Mixed
and Augmented Reality. This venue seeks innovative uses of creative techniques for communication and entertainment to enhance the experience of MR/AR through novel applications of head-mounted, embedded projection, or mobile displays. Submissions may include new tools, conventions or taxonomies for developing these new media.

-Humanities:
The Humanities program will be accepting academic submissions that
relate to Mixed and Augmented Reality content that allows for
innovative analytical, critical or speculative approaches to reflect the
study of the human condition and digital media.
