Workshop on augmented reality for good
Arindam Dey, Mark Billinghurst, Greg Welch · 2017
Summary form only given, as follows. A complete record of the workshop was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. Augmented Reality has started to become mainstream. With the AR research and technological advances, it is now possible to use AR in almost all domains and places. This provides a bigger opportunity to create applications that intend to impact society in greater ways than beyond just entertainment. Today the world is facing different challenges in health, the environment, and education among others. Now is the time to explore how AR could be used to solve widespread societal challenges. We invite application and position papers, addressing the way that AR can solve real-world problems in various application domains including, but not limited to, health, the environment, education, sports, and applications in support of special needs such as assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative applications. Our focus and preference will be on applications that are beyond general uses of AR. The workshop will have oral presentations, group work, and panel to explore ideas.
