	Sabine Coquillart INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt Research Centre Contact: Sabine.Coquillart at inria.fr (substitute "at" with @) Talk: First-Person Visuo-Haptic Environment: from Research to Applications
Abstract: Most research work in virtual reality has been devoted to providing a virtual stimulus to a single sensory modality (visual, audio, haptic, or, less frequently, smell and taste). Less work has been done on the integration of all these single-sense display types into a seamless system. This talk describes a first-person visuo-haptic integrated solution and shows how such integrated solutions open the doors to new, more realistic, applications.
Bio: Sabine Coquillart is Research Director at INRIA and LIG (Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble) where she is conducted researches in Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces. Before joining INRIA, she worked for one year as a visiting scientist at the University of Utah, USA. She also spent one year at Thomson, and six months in the VMSD group of GMD (now Fraunhofer), in Martin Goebel's research group. She has research interest and publications in the areas of rendering, 3D modelling, animation, 3D user interfaces and virtual reality. She serves on several program committees, she has been on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics and of Computer Graphics Forum and is on the editorial board of the Journal of Virtual Reality and Broadcasting. She is a member of the EUROGRAPHICS Executive Committee. She was co-chair for EUROGRAPHICS'96-06, for the 2004 EUROGRAPHICS Symposium on Virtual Environments, for IEEE 3DUI'07-08-09, and for the 2009 Joint Virtual Reality Conference of EGVE-ICAT-EuroVR. She is a member of ACM Siggraph and IEEE and Eurographics Fellows since 1999.

	Gudrun Klinker Fachgebiet Augmented Reality (FAR) - Technische Universität München Contact: klinker at in.tum.de (substitute "at" with @) Talk: Ubiquitous Augmented Reality in AR-ready Environments
Abstract: In this talk, it will be presented some of a recent work as well as a vision towards providing ubiquitous Augmented Reality services in AR-ready environments. It will be elaborated on the concepts of ubiquitous tracking, ubiquitous information presentation and ubiquitous manipulation leading to the vision that users will use AR as one of their means to experience and manipulate a mixed physical and virtual reality. Also it will be reported on some observations we made when we tried these concepts in real applications in which users need to keep a keen eye on primary tasks in their real environment while also using/exploring an associated virtual information space.
Bio: Gudrun Klinker studied Computer Science (Informatics) at the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen, Universität Hamburg (Diplom) and Carnegie-Mellon University (Ph.D.) in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, focusing on research topics in Computer Vision. In 1989, she joined the Cambridge Research laboratory of Digital Equipment Corporation in Boston, MA, USA, working in the visualization group on the development of a reusable tele-collaborative data exploration environment to analyze and visualize 3D and higher-dimensional data in medical and industrial applications. Since 1995, she has been researching various aspects of the newly emerging concept of Augmented Reality, first at the European Computer-industry Research Center, then at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics, and since 2000 at the Technical University of Munich. Here, her research focus lies on developing approaches to ubiquitous augmented reality that lend themselves to realistic industrial applications. Prof. Klinker is one of the co-founders of the International Symposium of Augmented Reality (ISMAR). She has served on numerous program committees such as VR, VRST, 3DUI, and UIST. She is author and co-author of more than 100 reviewed scientific publications.
