Dear Colleagues, The Ordnance Survey has awarded a research contract to the Centre of Geospatial Science (CGS) to investigate future data and data management developments that might impact on Ordnance Survey's operations and services.
Please see http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/cgs/projects_os.html for more details. In part fulfilment of this contract we are organising a series of Think Tanks to explore relevant technology developments and to better understand how these developments might influence and impact on spatial data capture and usage in the future. The next Think Tank is to be held on Tuesday 27th April at Nottingham and will cover the topic of "Research challenges in augmented reality geousers" The Think Tank Meeting will a one-day event with 10 experts drawn from a mix of AR application developers, handset manufacturers and geospatial industry professionals working in this area. Selected experts will be invited to give brief presentations but in each case significant time will be allocated for discussion and open exploration of likely developments and potential consequences. The meeting will operate according to Chatham House rules. Interested participants are invited to submit short position paper (max 2 A4 pages) detailing their potential think tank contribution, expectations, vision and research interest, before 28 Feb 2010 to [email protected] Travel and accommodation costs of all the selected participants will be reimbursed. Selection of invited experts will be made by the Ordnance Survey. Think Tank Outcomes * Identify key research trends and applications in augmented reality theme. * Identify mid-term (2-3 years) and long-term (5-10 years) research challenges in augmented reality. * Produce report on the Think Tank findings.
