Initiated through a grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the REGARD laboratory is the first Canadian research laboratory for mobile geospatial augmented reality. It provides the research group with innovative technologies in augmented reality for emerging applications in geomatics. The research applications implemented on this infrastructure aim to provide users with geospatial information, in a mobile context, adapted to their needs and their location. This will greatly help the users to better understand and interact with their surrounding environment.

The purpose of this first international workshop on mobile geospatial augmented reality is to establish an interdisciplinary forum for leading researchers from universities, government agencies, and private firms in order to present and exchange state-of-the-art research and applications in this field. The workshop is meant to promote networking between the participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and to promote international collaboration. The key issues that will be covered during the workshop include:

1. Dynamic 3D modeling and simulation
2. Location Based Services and real time geospatial data delivery
3. Acquisition and spatial reference
4. Multi-modal cognition and visualisation

Although the workshop focuses on mobile geospatial AR, the key issues targeted by the workshop do not exclude research works dealing with sedentary augmented reality. Presentations concerned with practical applications that merge AR and geomatics are also greatly encouraged.

Authors are invited to submit short papers (1500-2000 words) related to mobile geospatial augmented reality and one or more of following topics mentioned at http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca/

On this site you will find more details for submission.
