The workshop on Authoring Solutions for Augmented Reality will be an opportunity to present short authoring or content creation papers on topics relevant for Mixed and Augmented Reality. We are seeking to capture the state of the art as well as discussing future concepts ranging from a casual user to the day-to-day workflow of an expert.
To present at the workshop, submit a 4-page paper using the TVCG paper template for ISMAR 2011 papers (available here http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html) to ismarauthoringworkshop@icg.tugraz.at.
The submitted papers will be reviewed by the organizing committee and selected for presentation. Authors will be notified of the results and a final deadline for submitting the final version. For continuously updated information refer to the workshop webpage. A plain-text version of the call for papers can be found here.

Topics

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Tools and Technologies

• libraries
• protocols
• workflows

Interaction concepts for creating content in and for AR

• interaction concepts, e.g. input devices and modalities
• extending or beyond CAD, e.g. sketch based interfaces and widgets

In-situ creation and assembly for AR

• crowd sourcing, with focus on non-expert
• non-spatial content, such as annotations, audio, ambient data etc. pp.
• distribution concepts and infrastructure

Specialists Spotlight

• topics covering AR content creation for specific tasks in engineering, education, medicine, tourism and entertainment.

The workshop is part of the International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2011) taking place October, 26 - 29, 2011 in Basel (Switzerland). For further information please also check the ISMAR webpage at: International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality 2011
