By its very nature, MR and AR are highly interdisciplinary fields involving signal processing, computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing, computer networks, distributed computing, information access, information visualization, and hardware design for new displays and sensors. MR/AR concepts are applicable to a wide range of applications. This year joins the forces working on Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality across the world in the premier forum of the field: The International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) 2002 provides an opportunity for MR/AR researchers from academia and industry across the world to meet in an informal atmosphere to exchange ideas, concepts, and research results. ISMAR 2002 is meant to trigger discussions among participants and to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and academic researchers working in the different research branches of MR and AR. The symposium will be held on two days, Sep. 30-Oct. 1 in Darmstadt, Germany and will be hosted at Darmstadt University of Technology. In addition to paper and poster presentations and live system demonstrations, ISMAR 2002 will have several invited talks on applications of Augmented Reality and on activities in related fields. +++ Call for Papers +++ ISMAR 2002 invites papers and poster submissions in the general field of Mixed and Augmented Reality.
