Dr. Thierry Badard writes "The 2nd International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality (http://regard.crg.ulaval.ca) will be held in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, from the 28-29th of August 2008. It follows the great success of the first edition that took place in Banff, AB, in 2006. This second edition will be the opportunity to pursue the discussions and reflections initiated between the geospatial and augmented reality communities. This year, the mobile game community will also be targeted by the workshop." The rest of the announcement below.
"Aims and scope
Augmented Reality (AR) is a means of blending computer generated objects or labels with reality so that both appear to be a part of your natural environment. AR is beginning to mature as a subject field with applications moving from pure academic research into industrial and potential consumer areas. In recent years geographic data representing real world features has increasingly been used for AR applications. In addition, geospatial technologies have established many new services and
applications including navigation, decision support and modelling of the surrounding environment from which mobile AR and location-aware computing can now benefit in order to generate compelling spatiotemporal applications.
The International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality aims at bringing together researchers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and development in this field. The workshop will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical experiences of mobile AR, geospatial technologies and geoinformatics,
and mobile games, fostering interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of these three fields, and will highlight future trends in this area. The workshop will be organized in a way to promote networking between the participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and
to promote international collaboration.
Topics of interest
We invite submissions that address theoretical, technical, and practical topics of related to mobile geospatial augmented reality. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the following:

tbadard writes "The 1st International Workshop on Mobile Geospatial Augmented Reality will take place at the Banff Center, Banff, Alberta, Canada, from the 29 to the 30 May 2006. The workshop is organised by the research team of the REGARD laboratory, a component of the CRG - Center for Research in Geomatics. The purpose of this first international workshop on mobile geospatial augmented reality is to establish an interdisciplinary forum for leading researchers from universities, government agencies, and private firms in order to present and exchange state-of-the-art research and applications in this field. The workshop is meant to promote networking between the participants, to initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the field, to exchange research ideas and to promote international collaboration."

Augmented Reality And Mobile GIS 1 comment
[+]
The What Is Special About Geospatial blog has an article and videos about using augmented reality with GIS. From their summary : "The application fields of augmented reality for spatial problems are very broad. The contain navigation, enviromental planning, etc. Object recognition is here also an issue. Currently many GI researchers are dealing with the topic of augmented maps."
Not quite sure what the article is trying to relay, but I will leave that up to those interested in this topic. Head on over to their blog for more information and the video.
