WORKSHOP: ISMAR 2013 Doctoral Consortium

这笔资金用于支持来自美国机构的两名研究生参加一个博士联盟(研讨会)，该联盟是与2013年混合和增强现实国际研讨会(ISMAR 2013)一起举行的，该研讨会于10月1日至4日在澳大利亚阿德莱德举行，由IEEE计算机学会组织，计算机械协会(ACM)提供学术赞助。十多年来，ISMAR(及其前身活动IWAR/ISAR和ISMR)一直是关于混合现实(MR)和增强现实(AR)的科学、技术、应用和使用研究的主要国际会议。强大的移动硬件的激增为MR和AR的研究开辟了新的途径，同时使企业和消费者能够广泛应用。在这个范围内，令人着迷的新用户界面、技术和概念开始出现。该领域本质上是高度跨学科的，聚集了技术学家、教育家、人文主义者、艺术家和社会科学家等。ISMAR是致力于推进混合现实、增强现实、虚拟现实和与物理世界的人机交互的最大会议之一，并鼓励六种不同的提交类型：论文和海报、研讨会、小组讨论、教程、演示和比赛。由于与混合和增强现实相关的不同领域，ISMAR的内容分为两个轨道：科学与技术(S&T)计划和艺术、媒体与人文(AMH)计划。顶级论文通常会被扩展、审查并提交给著名的IEEE可视化和计算机图形学会刊发表。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问http://ismar.vgtc.org/.。这是与ISMAR研讨会同时举行的第二个博士联盟。共有7名研究生参加了研讨会，以及担任导师的社区资深成员(教师和行业研究人员)。其目标是在学生职业生涯的关键时刻为他们提供机会，向来自不同学术和工业机构的一群导师和同行介绍他们的工作，获得对他们的博士研究计划和进展的反馈，并在ISMAR社区内建立一支年轻的研究人员队伍。为此目的，与会者被要求准备一份技术介绍和一份介绍其工作的海报。活动前的社交晚宴让与会者(学生、导师和组织者)相互了解。第二天，所有与会者在上午8：00举行了非正式早餐，之后每个学生参与者有50分钟专注于他/她的研究，首先是大约30分钟的陈述，然后是大约20分钟，用于与其他研究生参与者和高级研究人员进行广泛的讨论。讨论由博士联合会联合主席和导师推动，目的是解决研究的优势和劣势、挑战和问题、结果的影响、对其他方法或后续工作的潜在建议，以及与学生工作和领域相关的职业指导。这些海报在ISMAR会议海报会议期间展出(预计学生将参加)，并被标记为博士联盟的一部分。来自博士联盟的所有结果，包括遵循的程序，都被存档在ISMAR 2013 DC活页夹中，作为明年会议的参考。广泛影响：组织者积极采取措施，在学生中实现研究主题、学科背景、方法方法和家庭机构的多样性，以确保他们认识自己特定领域以外的人。例如，每个机构最多选择一名研究生。还考虑了性别和族裔等因素，重点是纳入代表性不足的群体。部分由于今年会议的地点偏远，最终大多数学生与会者来自外国大学；为国际学生提供的资金来自其他来源，NSF仅申请资金支持来自美国高等教育机构的两名学生。

This is funding to support participation by 2 graduate students from U.S. institutions in a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) that was held in conjunction with the 2013 International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2013), which took place October 1-4 in Adelaide, Australia, and which was organized by the IEEE Computer Society with academic sponsorship from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). For over a decade, ISMAR (and its forerunner events IWAR/ISAR and ISMR) has been the premier international conference on research into the science, technology, applications and uses of Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The proliferation of powerful mobile hardware has opened up new avenues of research into MR and AR while enabling corporate and consumer applications on a wide scale. Across this spectrum fascinating new types of user interfaces, technologies, and concepts are beginning to emerge. The field is highly interdisciplinary in nature, bringing together technologists, educators, humanists, artists and social scientists, among others. ISMAR is one of the largest meetings devoted to the advancement of mixed reality, augmented reality, virtual reality, and human-computer interaction with the physical world, and encourages six different submission types: Papers and Posters, Workshops, Panels, Tutorials, Demonstrations and Contests. Because of the diverse fields relevant to mixed and augmented reality, ISMAR content is organized in two tracks: The Science & Technology (S&T) program and The Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program. The top papers are often extended, reviewed, and submitted for publication in the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. More information about the conference may be found at http://ismar.vgtc.org/. This was the second Doctoral Consortium held in conjunction with an ISMAR symposium. A total of 7 graduate students participated in the workshop, along with senior members of the community (faculty and industry researchers) who served as mentors. The goal was to provide the students with an opportunity at a critical time in their careers to present their work to a group of mentors and peers from a diverse set of academic and industrial institutions, to receive feedback on their doctoral research plan and progress, and to build a cohort of young researchers within the ISMAR community. To these ends participants were asked to prepare both a technical presentation and a poster describing their work. A pre-event social dinner allowed the attendees (students, mentors and organizers) to get to know each other. The following day all attendees met for an informal breakfast at 8:00 AM, after which each student participant had 50 minutes devoted to his/her research, beginning with a presentation for approximately 30 minutes followed by about 20 minutes reserved for an extensive discussion with the other graduate student participants and the senior researchers. The discussion was facilitated by the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs and mentors, with the goal of addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the research, challenges and issues, implications of the results, potential suggestions for additional approaches or follow-on work, and career guidance related to the student's work and area. The posters were on display during the ISMAR conference poster sessions (in which the students were expected to take part), and were marked as being part of the Doctoral Consortium. All results from the Doctoral Consortium, including the procedures followed, were archived in the ISMAR 2013 DC binder as a reference for next year's conference.Broader Impacts: The organizers took steps proactively to achieve a diversity of research topics, disciplinary backgrounds, methodological approaches, and home institutions among the students, to ensure that they met people outside their own specific area. For example, a maximum of one graduate student per institution was selected. Factors such as gender and ethnicity were also taken into account, with an emphasis on including underrepresented groups. Due in part to the remote location of this year's conference, in the end most of the student participants were from foreign universities; funding for the international students was secured from other sources, with NSF funds being requested only to support the 2 students from U.S. institutions of higher learning.
