2nd Workshop - Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality

28 July 2008, 7:45pm

Welcome!
The 2nd International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality 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 workshop.
