<span class="sous-titre">Call for Participation</span>We are
pleased to invite you to attend and participate to the 2nd
International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality, which
will be held in <b>Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, from the 28-29th of
August 2008</b>. It follows the great success of the first edition that
took place in Banff, AB, in 2006. <br>
<br>
The second edition will be the opportunity to pursue the discussions
and reflections initiated between the geospatial and augmented reality
communities. This year, the workshop is organised jointly with the
workshop of the GeoEduc3D research project funded by the <a
href="http://www.geoide.ulaval.ca/" target="_blank">GEOIDE</a> Network
of Centres of Excellence. GeoEduc3D deals with educative mobile games,
augmented reality and geospatial technologies. Therefore, the mobile
game community will also be targeted by the workshop.<br>
