ISMAR is the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR). In 2020, ISMAR will be held between November 9th and 13th as a virtual conference.

ISMAR explores the advances in commercial and research activities related to AR, MR, and Virtual Reality (VR) by continuing the expansion of its scope over the past several years. ISMAR 2020 will cover the full range of technologies encompassed by the MR continuum, from interfaces in the real world to fully immersive experiences. This range goes far beyond the traditional definition of AR, which focuses on precise 3D tracking, visual display, and real-time performance.

We specifically invite contributions from areas such as Computer Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Computer Vision, Optics, and in particular VR, and how these areas contribute to advancing AR, MR, XR, and VR technology. The poster session is a fix-point of ISMAR, where the community engages in a discussion about the benefits and challenges of AR in other research and application domains.

This year, in the face of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are considering different presentation alternatives that will encourage discussion among authors and attendees. Poster papers will be reviewed on the basis of an extended abstract, which can be 2-6 pages long and contain smaller contributions or in-progress work. The page limit also includes the list of references.

Please note that ISMAR does not consider a poster paper of 2-pages to be an archival publication. Therefore submitting work in a 2-pager poster format does not preclude later submitting the same work in the form of a full paper. And to clarify, poster papers with more than 2 pages will need further scrutiny by ISMAR reviewers to check for added value when submitted as a full paper in later years. ISMAR reviewers are committed to maintaining and enforcing these reviewing principles.

Accepted Poster Papers will be published in the adjunct proceedings of IEEE ISMAR 2020 and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Poster paper presentation sessions will be organized at the conference. At least one of the authors must register and attend the conference to present the poster.
