2nd International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada August 28-29, 2008 http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca Come and join us to discover the geospatial applications and technologies of tomorrow! *Call for Participation* We are pleased to invite you to attend and participate to the 2nd International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality (http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca), which will be held in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, from the 28-29th of August 2008. It follows the great success of the first edition that took place in Banff, AB, in 2006. The second edition will be the opportunity to pursue the discussions and reflections initiated between the geospatial and augmented reality communities. This year, the workshop is organised jointly with the workshop of the GeoEduc3D research project funded by the GEOIDE Network of Centres of Excellence. GeoEduc3D deals with educative mobile games, augmented reality and geospatial technologies. Therefore, the mobile game community will also be targeted by the 2nd International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and development in these fields. The workshop provides a forum for original research contributions and practical experiences of mobile AR, geospatial technologies and geoinformatics, and mobile games, fostering interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of these three fields, and will highlight future trends in this area. The workshop is organized in a way 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. *Sponsors* Gold sponsor: DELL (http://www.dell.com) Silver sponsors: UBISOFT (http://www.ubi.com/ENCA/Default.aspx) CREAFORM (http://www.creaform3d.com/en/default.aspx) Donors: This workshop is also partly financially supported by the GEOIDE Network of Centres of Excellence (http://www.geoide.ulaval.ca), the Centre for Research in Geomatics (CRG, http://www.crg.ulaval.ca) and the Forestry and Geomatics Faculty of Laval University (http://www.ffg.ulaval.ca).
