Gerhard Reitmayr (Graz University of Technology)
|
Title: Annotating the World with AR Hybrid Tracking in Outdoor
Gerhard Reitmayr is professor for Augmented Reality at the Graz University of Technology. He received his Dipl.-Ing. (2000) and Dr. techn. (2004) degrees from Vienna University of Technology.
He worked as a research associate at the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, UK until May 2009 where he was researcher and principal investigator in industry and EC funded projects.
Research interests are the development of augmented reality user interfaces, wearable computing, ubiquitous computing environments and the integration of these. Research directions include computer vision techniques for localisation and tracking and interaction methods.

Joshua Lifton (MIT Media Lab)
|
Title: Cross Reality-Bridging the Real and Virtual
Joshua Lifton received his Ph.D. in 2007 from the MIT Media Lab, where he
researched the intersection of distributed sensor networks and virtual worlds.
He then spent the next two years working with the Electric Sheep Company, a
technology start-up specializing in virtual worlds.
He has since taught a
graduate-level virtual worlds class at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications
Program (ITP), further developed wearable sensor systems for bridging the real
and the virtual, and served as the lead consultant for a company looking to
bring its product to the virtual worlds market.

Title: Physics-based
Character Animation for AR
Sung-Hee Lee is a full-time lecturer at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology.
He earned the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from
the University of California, Los Angeles in 2008 under Prof. Demetri
Terzopoulos, and his dissertation is entitled "Biomechanical modeling and control
of the human body for computer animation".
He worked as a
postdoctoral researcher at Honda Research Institute, Mountain View, CA, USA in
2009.
His research interests include computer graphics and robotics,
specifically physics-based modeling and control of human characters, motion planning
and control of humanoid robots, multibody dynamics, and simulation of
natural phenomena.

Andreas Duenser (HIT Lab. NZ) 
|
Title: Designing User Evaluations for AR Interface
Andreas is a Post Doctoral Fellow at the HIT Lab NZ at the University of
Canterbury in New Zealand, where he is researching psychological aspects of
interacting and learning with emerging technologies with a special focus on
Augmented Reality.
His work focuses interacton design, evaluating user
experiences with novel computer interfaces, and the application of AR and VR
based technologies in areas such as education, training, assessment, and
rehabilitation.
Before joining the HIT Lab NZ he worked as research assistant at
the Faculty of Psychology, University of Vienna, where he received his PhD and
at the Interactive Media Systems Group at the Vienna University of
Technology.
[Tutorial] In this tutorial, we will discuss several design questions for user evaluation of
Augmented Reality interfaces. We will start with general questions on the
motivation for evaluating AR interfaces with users and discuss research-question
driven design.
Next we will look at special research and evaluation issues for
emerging technologies and in particular AR. A survey of evaluation techniques
used in AR research will serve as a basis to show which kind of evaluation types
and methods are most successfully used in this research field. We will discuss
these methods and approaches in more detail with several examples of scientific
AR literature (which can be circulated in advance to the workshop
attendees).
