Comprehensive tutorials

Abstract

John Quarles University of Texas at San Antonio, USA This year at ISMAR we are implementing a four-day, comprehensive tutorial program that covers a diverse set of topics and cutting edge research in Mixed and Augmented reality, such as tracking and registration, application development, display technologies, and human factors. By focusing on a wide range of topics, we aim to educate a broader audience, such as researchers, students, artists, and industry professionals who may or may not have much prior experience with Mixed and Augmented Reality. By the end of the tutorials, attendees should have foundational knowledge of Mixed and Augmented Reality research to be able to start developing their own applications. This diverse set of topics will be presented by pioneers innovators, experts, and leaders in the field whose research and development in Mixed and Augmented Reality have defined the state-of -the-art both in the laboratory and in the field. Through the leadership, experience, and tutelage of these pioneers, attendees will gain a deeper knowledge of the field and the major research and development issues. Our goal is to help foster the next generation of Mixed and Augmented Reality researchers, application developers, and artists.
