Keynote Speaker

 

Keynote Speaker
Anton van den Hengel
 (The Australian Centre for Visual Technologies)

Title: Image-based modelling for augmenting reality  

Prof. Anton van den Hengel is the founding Director of The Australian Centre for Visual Technologies (ACVT), an interdisciplinary research centre focussing on innovation in the production and analysis of visual digital media.

Prof. Anton van den Hengel has had over 70 publications, 2 patents and 3 patent applications. Current research interests include interactive image-based modelling, large-scale video surveillance, and image understanding using databases of millions of images.

Mobile AR

 

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.

 

Cross Reality

 

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.

 

Cross Reality

 

Sunghee Lee (CG Lab, GIST)

 

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.

 

Tutorial

 

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).
