Program description

The International Society on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) represents the diverse community of the premiere international research symposium for the advancement of the Art and Science of Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR). This website presents just the beginning of the year-round presence of the conference. Its purpose is to continue the important discourse and showcase of the latest Mixed Reality research in all disciplines and application domains. Since the Symposium rotates between Asia, Europe and the Americas, it will be at least three years until the conference comes to a city near you. This site hopes to encourage personal and professional exchanges to help encourage, promote and support the bold exploration of the future of Mixed and Augmented Reality.


Who Should attend

Research scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, content producers and students who are inventing or innovating with the latest state-of-the-art Mixed and Augmented Reality should contribute to this site. 2009 marks the beginning of the second decade that ISMAR (and its predecessors (ISAR, ISMR and IWAR) have brought academic and commercial researchers and developers together to provide the window into the future of Mixed and Augmented Reality. We hope to encourage and support more interdisciplinary, cross application and multi-sector collaborations to advance the art and science of Mixed and Augmented Reality.


Experience

ISMAR 2009 has expanded its program to present the breadth and depth of the Mixed and Augmented Reality research and application and will now reach out to more sectors of the community using this website. Each conference program will start to contribute advance program information in order to stimulate engaging and compelling dialogue about the advancements of Mixed and Augmented Reality leading up to the symposium. This dialogue will continue and launch on-going forums, blogs, career offerings and showcases year round to stimulate new ideas, research, contributors and volunteers to subsequent conferences. Maybe a persistent virtual conference can be created so more people who do not have the luxury of traveling the world can experience ISMAR.


Sponsor

ISMAR is lead by a Steering Committee that directs all future activities. It is associated with both IEEE and ACM and wishes to connect with diverse research and organizations that can support the advancement of the art and science of Mixed and Augmented Reality. We would like to encourage companies and universities to help financially support our efforts and receive a global recognition with the creators and users of the latest Mixed and Augmented Reality. Depending upon levels of sponsorships, you can obtain high visibility within the publications, commercial exhibits, conference environment. Contact the sponsorship chair to help customize a program for you.


Schedule

Up until the conference, ISMAR conference programs will be posting advance program materials. In September, the advance ISMAR program will be on-line with forums, showcases and blogs that will be established for open discourse about the broad spectrum of Mixed and Augmented Reality research and application. Those not presenting at ISMAR will be able to contribute to the Website. After the conference, this website will be able to provide reports from organizers and attendees for those not attending the conference.
