A Dagstuhl Seminar Looks beyond Virtual and Augmented Reality

Abstract

At a five-day seminar in Germany, 30 researchers came together to discuss the future of interactive media. Motivated by the third wave of virtual and augmented reality technologies, the goal was to take a step back from technical research to look at the fundamental aspects of interactive media. The seminar featured initial talks by all attendees; several breakout sessions; hands-on workshops on novel experience-sharing technologies; and panel discussions on human-computer symbiosis, human augmentation, and enabling technologies.
