Workshop on Industrial Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality has matured from a pure research field into actual industrial applications. There are still many research questions to solve, and solutions are discussed every year at the ISMAR conference series. However, making systems really work needs usually some more effort, knowledge, and ideas than can be discussed by academia on a purely scientific conference. The goal of this workshop is to bring together all people from industry and academia who use augmented reality technologies in real industrial settings aimed at producing a commercial benefit.

The workshop provides a platform to jointly discuss the "devils in the detail" and to identify ways to make the leap from research-based demonstrators to fully integrated systems. It is organized as a sequence of talks for a broad audience interested in the current application of augmented reality technology in industrial settings.

• Stefan Nölle (Volkswagen AG, )
