*FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MOBILE GEOSPATIAL AUGMENTED REALITY*

Call for participation
May 29-30, 2006
Banff Centre
Banff, Alberta, Canada
http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca


The research team of the REGARD laboratory (a component of the CRG -
Center for Research in Geomatics) is proud to invite you to the first
international workshop on mobile geospatial augmented reality (AR),
which will be held on May 29 and 30 in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Initiated through a grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation
(CFI), the REGARD laboratory is the first Canadian research laboratory
for mobile geospatial augmented reality. It provides the research group
with innovative technologies in augmented reality for emerging
applications in geomatics. The research applications implemented on this
infrastructure aim to provide users with geospatial information, in a
mobile context, adapted to their needs and their location. This will
greatly help the users to better understand and interact with their
surrounding environment.


*The aim and scope*

The purpose of this first international workshop on mobile geospatial
augmented reality is to establish an interdisciplinary forum for leading
researchers from universities, government agencies, and private firms in
order to present and exchange state-of-the-art research and applications
in this field. The workshop is meant to promote networking between the
participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge
technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and to promote
international collaboration. The key issues that will be covered during
the workshop include:

   1. Dynamic 3D modeling and simulation

    * Dynamic data structures
    * Geosimulation
    * Moving object databases
    * Management and querying of moving objects
    * Distributed and mobile database design

   2. Location Based Services and real time geospatial data delivery

    * Real time delivery of 3D and hypermedia geospatial data
    * Geospatial Service Oriented Architectures and systems for mobile
      distributed computing
    * Geospatial processing web services
    * Context-aware mobile services and applications
    * GI and web standards and protocols

   3. Acquisition and spatial reference

    * Data capture and 3D digitizing
    * Positioning and real time tracking
    * Qualitative and quantitative spatial referencing
    * Pattern recognition
    * Matching and integration of virtual objects in the real world

   4. Multi-modal cognition and visualisation

    * Cognition and spatial cognition
    * Multi modality
    * Methods for public participation
    * Geo and in situ visualisation
    * Interface design and interactivity

Although the workshop focuses on researches in mobile geospatial AR, the
key issues targeted by the workshop do not exclude research works
dealing with sedentary augmented reality or practical applications that
merge AR and geomatics.


*Key note speakers*

4 key note speakers will share their experiences, points of view and
prospects in the domain of mobile geospatial augmented reality.
