Feedback from Participants:
"This tutorial presented material beyond what most people currently use. May be worth considering for the future."

"With this tutorial I have learned about new ways of augmenting the environment. This was a great tutorial."

"Good introductory level, given glimpses of detail, but staying at higher abstraction level to maintain audience interest."

"Bimber probably went a little overboard in his own enthusiasm for the (granted interesting) work they do. Had too much stuff to tell and became stressed by time running out."

"Interesting, but could do with seeing some of the projection techniques for real if possible."

"The idea of web page with slides and other material is more useful than just having handouts or tutorial notes."

"Good blend of general material and examples. It could have been complemented by a live demo …"

Statement of the Course Chair:
"As one of the Courses Chairs for that event I am able to report that this course was very well received, and was also one of the most popular topics. We collected feedback from the audience and both Oliver and Ramesh were given high scores for presentation, for their A/V materials, and for the notes they provided for participants. Example quotes from participants included: “With this tutorial I have learnt about new ways of augmenting the environment”, “This was a great tutorial”, and “Good introductory level, given glimpses of detail, but staying at a higher abstraction level to maintain audience interest”. I dropped by during their presentation and can confirm from my own impression that the course was both interesting and well delivered. It seems to me that AR is still a hot topic, and I’m sure both Oliver and Ramesh will update their materials to present new results. I would have no hesitation in considering this tutorial again for a future Eurographics event. But actually, it’s somebody else’s job to decide this year! If you need more information in making a decision, please feel free to email me."
