Abstract

Mobile devices have increasing computational power. Their sophistication in terms of network access, content rendering and interactivity, and data gathering is growing. Sensors such as microphones, cameras, gyroscopes, and accelerometers are routinely available and devices are enhanced with a various output modalities from visual to sound to vibroctactile. It is thus already possible for us as designers and developers to enhance the way people encounter content, create and experience content and express themselves. With improved access to Internet data service, including location-based services, we are able to build applications and services that profoundly shift the way people interact with their local environment--there are many opportunities to augment, enhance and transform people's experience of physical reality. This workshop will address emerging design techniques for Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) applications. We invite designers, developers, users and evaluators of augmented and mobile augmented reality applications and/or those interested in augmented location-based services to submit papers that consider the opportunities and challenges of designing effective, engaging and usable augmented reality services and applications for mobile devices.
