The world is becoming more complex everyday, so problem solving often requires global teams of experts working together. To do this effectively there is a need for collaborative tools, and so a variety of teleconferencing and telepresence technologies have been developed. However, most of them involve some variation of traditional video conferencing, which has limitations, such as not being able to effectively convey spatial cues. This workshop focuses on how Augmented Reality (AR) [1] and Mediated Reality (MR) [2] technology can be used to overcome these limitations and develop radically new types of collaborative experiences. In combination, AR and MR technologies could be used to merge the shared perceived realities of different users, as well as enrich each user's own individual experience in a collaborative task.
