"Location-Based Services and Augmented Reality"
Michael Goodchild, Department of Geography, University of California at Santa Barbara

An LBS is defined as an information service that knows where it is, and modifies the information it provides accordingly. AR is defined as the supply of information to augment the user's senses. LBS and AR are rapidly developing areas of technology, both heavily dependent on geographic information and knowledge of location. The workshop begins with a review of the technologies available for LBS and AR, and likely developments in the next decade. Applications are discussed in detail, ranging from the replacement of impaired senses, to commercial LBS. A research agenda for AR and LBS is proposed, and selected research questions are examined in detail.
