Summary
The Eighth IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (Ismar 2009) fostered cross-disciplinary insights by merging science and technology with arts and humanities for this growing research field.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Digital Media Arts
Background:
- Mixed and Augmented Reality (MAR) is a rapidly expanding research domain.
- Traditional symposia often focus narrowly on technical aspects.
Purpose of the Study:
- To offer a unique, cross-disciplinary perspective on Mixed and Augmented Reality.
- To explore the intersection of technology, art, media, and humanities within MAR.
Main Methods:
- The Eighth IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (Ismar 2009) integrated distinct academic tracks.
- A traditional science-and-technology track was combined with an art, media, and humanities track.
Main Results:
- The symposium successfully brought together diverse fields related to Mixed and Augmented Reality.
- A broader, more holistic view of the MAR research area was presented.
Conclusions:
- Integrating diverse disciplines enriches the understanding and development of Mixed and Augmented Reality.
- Cross-disciplinary approaches are vital for the future growth of MAR research.

01:29Magical Thinking
Magical thinking encompasses the belief in assumptions that defy logical reasoning yet appear intuitively convincing. It is a common psychological phenomenon that persists across various cultural and individual contexts. While these assumptions contradict empirical evidence and scientific laws, they often serve meaningful psychological roles in promoting emotional resilience and a sense of control, especially under stress or uncertainty.Thought-Action Fusion and the Law of SimilarityA key...
01:06Altered States of Awareness
Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.

01:27Hallucinogens and Psychedelics
Hallucinogens are psychoactive substances that profoundly alter perceptual experiences, generating unreal visual and sensory images. Often referred to as psychedelic drugs — a term derived from the Greek words "psyche" (mind) and "delos" (revealing) — these substances include marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), among others. These drugs vary in intensity and effects.

01:18Nightmares and Night Terrors
Nightmares and night terrors represent two distinct types of sleep disturbances that differ in timing, characteristics, and the sleeper's recall of the event. Nightmares are vivid, disturbing dreams that usually awaken the sleeper from REM sleep, a stage of sleep where brain activity is high, and dreams are most frequent. Upon awakening, individuals often have detailed recollections of their nightmares, which can include themes of threats to survival, security, or self-esteem.

01:27Synesthesia
Synesthesia is a remarkable condition where stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People with synesthesia experience a blending or crossing of their senses, such as sight and sound, leading to cross-modal sensations. In this condition, the stimulation of one sense, such as hearing a number or musical note, triggers an experience of another sense, like sensing a specific color, taste, or smell. People...
01:30Mixing Concrete
Concrete mixing ensures a homogenous blend where aggregates are well-coated with cement paste. Concrete mixing is typically done using two main types of mixers: batch and continuous. Batch mixers handle one batch at a time, thoroughly combining materials before discharging and receiving the next batch. In contrast, continuous mixers receive a steady flow of ingredients, mixing them consistently and discharging without interruption. Within batch mixers, tilting drum mixers mix with internal...
