We sympathize with the victims of the tragic attacks of September 11. However, ISAR '01 will be held as originally scheduled. The area around Columbia University and all the conference hotels was not affected physically, and we look forward to a productive conference.

Motivation

In the past few years, Augmented Reality (AR) has received ever increasing attention, as indicated by a series of events devoted to it, including the well-attended International Workshops on Augmented Reality (IWAR '98 and '99) and last year's International Symposium on Augmented Reality (ISAR '00). By its very nature, AR is a highly interdisciplinary field involving signal processing, computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing, computer networks, distributed computing, information access, information visualization, and hardware design for new displays and sensors. Its concepts are applicable to a wide range of applications.

This symposium continues the IWAR and ISAR series of annual meetings, providing an opportunity for AR researchers from academia and industry to meet in an informal atmosphere to exchange ideas, concepts, and research results. ISAR '01 is meant to trigger discussions among participants and to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and academic researchers working in the different AR research areas.

Topics

Organization

The symposium will be held on two days, October 29-30, 2001, on Columbia University's campus in Manhattan, New York City.
In addition to paper and poster presentations and live system demonstrations, ISAR will have several invited talks on applications of Augmented Reality and on activities in related fields.
