Open and Interoperable AR Workshop at AWE2014

We are thrilled to announce the Open and Interoperable AR Workshop at AWE 2014 lead by Christine Perey and AR Standards.org Workshop Details Date and time: May 27, 2014 1:30 to 5:30 PM Location: Room 212 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, California Registration: Add the Tutorial Day option while you register for AWE 2014  Purpose: This workshop at AWE2014 is designed to provide professional developers a 4-hour nuts-and-bolts session on the approaches and resources available today for those who want to reach the largest audience with compelling experiences. Attendees will: Get up to speed on open source projects and standards that are available today for use in interoperable AR deployments and tools, Discover how to access and contribute to new projects and standards under development, and See, first-hand, the latest examples of open and interoperable AR implementations. Agenda:  30 min – Introduction and Overview of Open and Interoperable AR 90 min – Relevant Standards by Standards Development Organization: Khronos Group IEEE SA ISO/IEC JTC SC 29 WG 11 (MPEG) Open Geospatial Consortium Web 3D Consortium 60 min – Open Source Projects Augmented Web Georgia Tech Argon browser 60 min – Live demonstrations and Discussion Topics If you have any questions or would like to propose a talk during this workshop, please contact Christine Perey. The AR Standards Portal is dedicated to advancing the dialog around open and interoperable AR as well as documenting the sources of specifications and interfaces that provide alternatives to single-vendor silos. The open AR Community meetings bring together stakeholders for status updates and provide a platform for collaboration among those who might not otherwise have interests or desire to work towards open and interoperable AR....

Hiroshi Ishii

Hiroshi Ishii

Associate Director, MIT Media Lab Jerome B. Wiesner Professor of Media Arts and Sciences Co-Director, Things That Think Head, Tangible Media Group Tangible Media focuses upon the design of seamless interfaces between humans, digital information, and the physical environment. Hiroshi Ishii, a Jerome B. Wiesner Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, joined the MIT Media Laboratory in October 1995. He founded the Tangible Media Group to pursue a new vision of Human Computer Interaction (HCI): “Tangible Bits.” His group seeks to change the “painted bits” of GUIs to “tangible bits” by giving physical form to digital information. Currently, the Tangible Media Group is working to evolve their vision of “Tangible Bits” to “Radical Atoms.” Prof. Ishii and his team have presented their vision of “Tangible Bits” at a variety of academic, industrial design, and artistic venues (including ACM SIGCHI, ACM SIGGRAPH, Industrial Design Society of America, AIGA, Ars Electronica, Centre Pompidou, and Victoria and Albert Museum) emphasizing that the development of tangible interfaces requires the rigors of both scientific and artistic review. A display of many of the group’s projects took place at the NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo in the summer of 2000. The following year, a three-year-long exhibition titled “Get in Touch” featured the Tangible Media group’s work at Ars Electronica Center (Linz, Austria) from September 2001 through August 2004. Professor Ishii was elected to CHI Academy by ACM SIGCHI in 2006. Prior to joining the MIT Media Lab from 1988-1994, Prof. Ishii led a CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work) research group at NTT Human Interface Laboratories Japan, where his team invented TeamWorkStation and ClearBoard. Prior to founding the Tangible Media Group, Prof. Ishii was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Toronto, Canada from 1993-1994. He has also received several degrees in engineering, including a B.E. degree in electronic engineering, M.E. and Ph.D degrees in computer engineering from Hokkaido University, Japan, in 1978, 1980, and 1992, respectively. http://tangible.media.mit.edu/person/hiroshi-ishii/ Photo Credit: Junichi Otsuki...
