ISMAR 2012

Call for Participation - Art Media Humanities Program
The 11th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality
Nov 5 - 8, 2012, Georgia Tech, Atlanta, USA
http://ismar.vgtc.org/

The fields of Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) seek to
interactively mix virtual media with a person's perception of the
physical world around them.  Whether interactively combining physical
and virtual objects and environments in 3D, or reacting to location or
other aspects of a users context, these paradigms enable fascinating new
types of user interfaces, and are beginning to show significant impact
on industry and society. The field is highly interdisciplinary, and
MR/AR concepts are applicable to a wide range of applications. Since
1998, ISMAR and its forerunner events, IWAR/ISAR and ISMR, have been the
premier forums in this vital field.

This year we are proud to present the 11th IEEE International Symposium
on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2012). The symposium will be held
on Nov. 5 - 8, 2012 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, USA. We invite you all
to participate in this great event for the exchange of new ideas in this
exciting field!

The 2012 ISMAR Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program invites artists,
designers, and scholars to explore the potential of Mixed and Augmented
Reality.  Artists and designers are invited to present and contextualize
creative work in MR or AR media forms and to reflect on the place of
these technologies in various fields of art and design. Scholars are
invited to present work that analyzes or critiques AR/MR in the contexts
of current social forms or the history of art and media. We welcome
papers, posters, and demos, as well as proposals for panels and workshops.
