The IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality

Wed, Oct. 13 - Sat, Oct. 16, 2010

COEX, Seoul, Korea

• 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 signal processing, 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. MR/AR concepts are applicable to a wide range of applications. Since 1998, ISMAR and its forerunner events, IWAR/ISAR and ISMR, have been the premier forums in this vital field.

• This year we are proud to present the 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2010). The symposium will be held on Oct. 13-16, 2010 at COEX, in Seoul, Korea. We invite you all to participate in this great event for the exchange of new ideas in this exciting field!

Given an infinite budget, I would use a combination of sensor modules, video cameras and light projectors to create a system of appropriated and shifting identities. It would operate in a defined sequence, of which several instances would run in a defined space:

1. A camera, guided by an attached sensor (perhaps a heat sensor), tracks and films an individual as s/he enters the room.
2. This film is fed through a computer system to a projector in another area in the defined space.
3. The projector tracks another individual using an attached sensor and projects the film onto him/her.

The possible layering of multiple sequences could lead to an individual who has spent some time in the defined space having the images of multiple individuals projected onto him/her, creating an implied narrative by defining an original presence by the apparitions which have appeared in its wake. It also has the capacity to interpret concepts of individual and group identity in a manner more reflexive than common sense would allow the medium.
