THEME
——-
The LAMDa workshop aims at discussing the impact of Dual Reality and Mixed Reality on Location Awareness and other applications in Smart Environments as well as their impact on human sociability in general.
Virtual environments – which are an essential part of Dual and Mixed Realities – can be used to create new applications and to enhance already existing applications in the real world. Besides that, existing sensors in the real world can be used to enhance the virtual world as well.
Even well known techniques, like the Kalman-filter, can be seen as an example for this type of application: Sensor measurements in grounded reality (the real world) are brought into virtual environments in form of models that describe the error distribution of the sensors. The virtual environments can then be used to make a prediction for the next measurement in grounded reality. Both results – the prediction and the measurement – are used to refine the virtual world and to bring more accurate sensor measurements into the real world.
Suitable topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

IMPORTANT DATES

WORKSHOP FORMAT
—————
Our goal is to advance the research of location awareness by exploiting the discussion between researches from several disciplines. Each session will begin with brief oral presentations of the contributions, after which we will focus on interactive discussion
with an emphasis on the following research questions:
• Location: What level of accuracy is required for location-based services in smart environments?
• Mixed and Dual Reality: How can Mixed and Dual Reality paradigms be used to support location-based services?
• Location information and Mixed/Dual Reality: What requirements do Mixed and Dual Reality paradigms pose on localization technologies?
• Group interactions: What kind of information and interfaces are useful for supporting interactions between group members in location-enhanced Dual or Mixed Reality applications?
Notes of the discussions will be kept, reviewed at the end of the workshop, and published on the workshop web page.
