Over the last decade, Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have evolved from experimental technologies to mainstream research activities that are starting to show impact on industry and society. By their very nature, Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality 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.
The International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality is the premier forum in this vital field. A series of independent conferences on Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality started in 1998, and has led to a joint symposium in 2002, This year we are proud to present the fourth installment of the series, the 4th IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 05).
The symposium will be held from October 5-8, 2005, in Vienna, Austria. We invite you all to participate in this great event for the exchange of new ideas in this exciting field!
