Some have made their way into commercial products, some are freely available as open-source software, and others are still in the development phase. To allow a fair comparison of the state-of-the art a tracking competition is being organized at ISMAR’08 in Cambridge. text/html 2008-09-03T22:22:41+09:30 ISMAR_Chairs http://ismar08.org/wiki/doku.php?id=program Preliminary Program - overview of the advance program Sept 15th (Monday) Workshops and Tutorials 9.00-12.30: Tutorial on Augmented Reality at Professional Broadcast Quality, Graham Thomas 9.30-17.00: Workshop on Industrial Augmented Reality: Needs and Solutions, Selim Benhimane, Gudrun Klinker, Ralf Rabaetje, Bruce Thomas text/html 2008-09-03T02:09:00+09:30 ISMAR_Chairs http://ismar08.org/wiki/doku.php?id=keynote_3 Physical gaming: Out of the lap and into the living room Speaker: Diarmid Campbell, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Diarmid Campbell talks about camera based games such as those using the EyeToy and, more recently, the PlayStation Eye camera. He looks at the many different techniques that can applied to analysing video images and how to use them as a game input mechanism. For each technique, he explains how it works, ways in which it can be used and, more importantly, where it can fail.

Hainich, Hainich&Partner, Berlin We first have a look at the development of AR in the recent 15 years and its current state. Given recent advances in computing and micro system technologies, it is hardly conceivable why AR technology should not finally be entering into mass market applications, the only way to amortize the development of such a complex technology. Nevertheless, achieving a 'critical mass' of working detail s… text/html 2008-09-03T02:06:03+09:30 ISMAR_Chairs http://ismar08.org/wiki/doku.php?id=tutorialworkshop-industry Selim Benhimane (TUM), Gudrun Klinker (TUM), Ralf Rabaetje (Volkswagen AG), Bruce H. Thomas (UniSA) As the interest and the development of Augmented Reality (AR) is growing fast, it is important that, periodically, people from academia, research and industry sit together and discuss about what are the major limitations and results that were achieved recently. This workshop is the followup to the two successful one-day events that took place at ISMAR’05 in Vienna and at ISMAR’06 in Santa Bar… text/html 2008-09-01T09:38:03+09:30 Benjamin Avery http://ismar08.org/wiki/doku.php?id=keynote_1 Hawk-Eye is the camera based ball-tracking system that enables players to challenge line-calling decisions on the courts of major tennis events such as Wimbledon. Paul McIlroy uncovers the machine vision technology behind the verdict on the big screen. He describes how the International Tennis Federation tested and accredited the system as an officiating aid and the technical challenges overcome to meet their stringent criteria for accuracy and reliability. He also reveals the pitfalls encounter… text/html 2008-09-01T09:34:09+09:30 Benjamin Avery http://ismar08.org/wiki/doku.php?id=star Trends in Augmented Reality Tracking, Interaction and Display: A Review of Ten Years of ISMAR By Feng Zhou, Henry Been-Lirn Duh Mark Billinghurst Although Augmented Reality technology was first developed over forty years ago, there has been little survey work giving an overview of recent research in the field. This paper reviews the ten-year development of the work presented at the ISMAR conference and its predecessors with a particular focus on tracking, interaction and display research.
