Aims & Scope
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
- Location sensing technologies (of any kind, including non real-time)
- Sensor fusion
- Wearable sensors, ambient-device interaction
- Touch, tangible and gesture interfaces
- Smart spaces
Output
- Display hardware, including 3D, stereoscopic and multi-user
- Live video stream augmentation (e.g., in robotics and broadcast)
- Wearable and situated displays (e.g., Google Glass, smart watches, pico-projectors)
- Wearable actuators and augmented humans
User Experience Design
- Collaborative interfaces
- Interaction techniques
- Multi-modal input and output
- Usability studies and experiments
- Technology acceptance and social implications
System Architecture

Arts, Media & Humanities
The 2013 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.
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
- Game and toys
- Cultural Heritage
- Social media
- Media Studies
- Cultural Studies
- Literary Studies
- Game Studies
- Practitioner Case Studies
- Design research
- Communications
