The annual IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) took place this year in Santa Barbara, CA, USA between Oct 22 and Oct 25. Over 160 participants in the field of Mixed and Augmented Reality participated at this conference. The program included different workshops, tutorials, two keynote presentations and presentations of current research in this field. In addition, over 20 live demos where presented at this venue.

In this context, Graz University of Technology represented the IPCity project with one demonstrator. A first prototype of the AR scout for interactive 3D reconstruction could successfully be presented. Discussions with experts in the field of Augmented and Mixed Reality gave promising feedback and contributed to new ideas for this first prototype.
