Dear all,

Additional to the market survey we are putting together a report that 
summarizes global research in Augmented Reality. We would like to give 
the AR community as a whole an idea of the R+D activity being conducted worldwide. 
We have already contacted different people individually (thanks for their replies) but 
we are also interested by the members of this mailing list (I apologize 
if you receive multiple copies of this announcement).

Could you please take a minute to send us answer to the following 
questions:

1. Name of organization:

2. Type of organization: Company/ University/Other (precise)

3. The main areas of AR R+D 
(tracking/display/software/interaction/rendering/application,etc, be 
broad) that your organization engages in :


4. Number of faculty/staff (e.g. Lecturer, Assoc Prof,  professional R&D 
engineer, etc.) at your organization involved with AR research and 
development (rem: exclude contracted Phd or research assistants):

5. Number of post doctoral scientists/professional developers involved 
with AR R+D:

6. Number of graduate students involved with AR R+D:

7. Number of undergraduate students involved with AR R+D:


8. Average annual R+D budget for AR research activities (if not 
commercially sensitive):

9. If you are a University, number of AR-related publications/year:

10. If you are a University, number of industrial/commercial AR-related 
collaboration/year:

11. If you are a University, number of successful commercial AR 
technology transfer:

(Do you want the specific details about your organization kept 
confidential: yes/no).


In return for filling out this survey we will send you a compilation of 
the results. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any further 
information.


Best regards,
Hartmut Seichter
