Augmented reality and virtual interactivity workshop, Barcelona, Spain

A workshop on augmented reality and virtual interactivity workshop (MOBEA 2010) will be held in Barcelona, Spain on 18 June 2010.

Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a real world environment whose elements are supplemented with, or augmented by, computer generated imagery. Augmented reality and virtual worlds are long standing topics in their own right.

MOBEA 2010 will focus on the topic of the convergence between augmented reality, virtual interactivity, and the Web. How can these new interaction paradigms be integrated into the platform of the Web and more importantly evolve to be as open and inclusive as the Web?

Additionally, there are currently diverging technologies and no standards for AR. This could lead to consumer confusion and industry gridlock. The objective of this workshop is to provide a single forum for researchers and technology experts to discuss the latest in four widely-defined areas:
- the Web and augmented reality,
- user interfaces,
- mobile augmented reality,
- evaluation of augmented reality.For further information, please visit:
