October 29-30, 2001
Columbia University, New York, NY
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/graphics/isar2001
Paper submissions due by June 5, 2001
Demo submissions due by
August 5, 2001
Objectives:
ISAR'01 will provide an opportunity for Augmented Reality (AR) researchers
from academia and industry to meet in an informal atmosphere to exchange
ideas, concepts, and research results. ISAR is meant to trigger discussions
among participants and to provide an intensive exchange between academic and
industrial branches as well as between researchers working in the different
AR research areas.
History:
ISAR'01 is the fourth in a series of successful events sponsored by IEEE and
ACM in cooperation with Eurographics:
