*** AIMS AND SCOPE ***
Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) allow the creation of
fascinating new types of user interfaces, and are beginning to show
significant impact on industry and society. The field is highly
interdisciplinary, bringing together computer vision, computer graphics,
user interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing,
computer networks, displays, sensors, to name just some of the most
important influences.
Since 1999, ISMAR is the premier forum in this vital field. This year we
are proud to present the 5th IEEE and ACM International Symposium on
Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2006). The symposium will be held on
Oct. 22-25, 2006, in sunny Santa Barbara, California, USA. We invite you
all to participate in this great event for the exchange of new ideas in
this exciting field!
