ISMAR 2006
5th IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality
Oct 22-25, 2006, University of California at Santa Barbara

AIMS AND SCOPE

Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) allow the creation of fascinating new types of user interfaces, and are beginning to show significant impact on industry and society. The field is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing, computer networks, displays, sensors, to name just some of the most important influences.

Since 1999, ISMAR is the premier forum in this vital field. This year we are proud to present the 5th IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2006). The symposium will be held on Oct. 22-25, 2006, in sunny Santa Barbara, California, USA. We invite you all to participate in this great event for the exchange of new ideas in
this exciting field!
