VAM-HRI 2019 · March 11, 2019 · Daegu/Korea
The Second International Workshop on Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality
for Human-Robot Interaction
At VAM-HRI we seek to bring together HRI, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Mixed Reality researchers to identify challenges in mixed reality interactions between humans and robots.
VAM-HRI was held for the first time at HRI 2018, where it served as the first workshop of its kind at an academic AI or Robotics conference, and served as a timely call to arms to the academic community in response to the growing promise of this emerging field.
VAM-HRI 2019 is looking to follow on the success of last year's workshop, and present new opportunities for expanding this nascent research community.

Introductory Remarks |
| 2:10-3:00 |
Keynote Presentation: How can we use AR for HRI?
Hirokazu Kato, Interactive Media Design Lab, NAIST
Dr. Hirokazu Kato has studied Augmented Reality for about 20 years. He developed a vision-based tracking library called the ARToolKit in 1999 which has had a significant impact on the growth of Augmented Reality research. He received Virtual Reality Technical Achievement Award from IEEE VGTC in 2009 and Lasting Impact Award at the 11th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality in 2012. In his keynote talk, he will talk about features of AR as a display technology and some important human factors, and discuss AR interactions and its applications to HRI.
