ISMAR 2015

Notable Changes for ISMAR 2015

All accepted Full Papers will be directly published in a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG)
Program Committee members are being solicited through an open call; we hope that this further increases transparency and widens scope
A fixed submission date, 15 March, for this and all future ISMAR conferences is introduced to help planning by participants

Important Deadlines

Paper submission deadline: 15 March 2015 (all deadlines: 23:59 US Pacific Time)
Authors receive reviews: 1 May 2015
Authors’ rebuttal due: 10 May 2015
Author notification of First Review Cycle: 1 June 2015
Revised paper submission for Second Review Cycle: 24 June 2015
Final acceptance notification: 4 July 2015
Camera-ready version due: 10 July 2015

Submission Categories

Submissions in two categories are solicited:

Full Papers: 8-10 pages, presentation at conference, published in IEEE TVCG
Short Papers: up to 6 pages, presentation at conference, published in ISMAR proceedings
Successful Full and Short Papers will be held to the same contribution-per-page ratio

In addition, all accepted submissions will be published in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Detailed submission and review guidelines will be posted soon on the conference webpage. Poster submissions will be accepted as usual with a submission date to be announced later.

Topics of Interest

All topics relevant to AR, VR, and MR are of interest. These include, but are not limited to:

Information Presentation

Visual, aural, haptic, and olfactory augmentation
Multisensory rendering, registration, and synchronization
Mediated and diminished reality
Photo-realistic and non-photo-realistic rendering
Real-time and non-real-time interactive rendering

Input

Acquisition of 3D video and scene descriptions
Video processing and streaming
Projector-camera systems
Calibration and registration of sensing systems
Location sensing technologies (of any kind, including non-real-time)
Sensor fusion
Wearable sensors, ambient-device interaction
Touch, tangible and gesture interfaces
Smart spaces

Output

Display hardware, including 3D, stereoscopic, and multi-user
Live video stream augmentation (e.g., in robotics and broadcast)
Wearable and situated displays (e.g., eyewear, smart watches, pico-projectors)
Wearable actuators and augmented humans

User Experience Design

Collaborative interfaces
Interaction techniques
Multi-modal input and output
Usability studies and experiments
Technology acceptance and social implications

System Architecture

Distributed and collaborative architectures
Real-time performance issues
Wearable and mobile computing
Online services
Scene description and management issues
Content creation and management

Applications

Personal information systems
Architecture
Art, cultural heritage, education and training
Entertainment, broadcast
Industrial, military, emergency response
Medical

Emerging areas of particular interest include:

HUMAN PERFORMANCE & PERCEPTION: Learning, training, therapy, rehabilitation, Virtual analytics and entertainment are beginning to leverage the convergence of applied AR/VR/MR research to expand how we experience and enhance the limits of human experience.
AUGMENTED REALITY WITHOUT 3D REGISTRATION: Lightweight eyewear such as Google Glass can be used for augmenting and supporting our daily lives even without 3D registration of virtual objects. Here, technologies for context, behaviour and object recognition together with other wearable sensors using computer vision, sensor networks and new types of onboard and external sensing technologies become more relevant.
