ARDevVancouver
From Ardevcamp
AR DevCamp Vancouver will be a full day of information sessions, discussions, tutorials, and hacking opportunities in an open format, BarCamp style to which all interested people and organizations are invited. The goal of this event is to build on the momentum of the ardevcamp initiative, with a focus on technology sharing, collaboration, and the portability and integration of information across diverse platforms and AR environments.
AR brings together an great diversity of topics, skills and technologies. The primary goal of this event is to bring together interesting, collaboration-minded people who are working on pieces of the larger puzzle: cartographers, game designers, GIS professionals, artists, programmers, interface designers, entrepreneurs and activists (amongst others) all have much to contribute. The event will be structured to allow natural clusters and patterns to evolve. While the event has a very open scope, we should also emphasise the unifying narrative established by ardevcamp.org: the need to build AR systems that are open, compatible and interoperable, while allowing for creativity, diversity and rapid exploration of new ideas.
The event will follow the established ardev model as an informal, grassroots event in which the participants shape an active agenda 'as it happens'. This page serves to provide some basic structure, and to help the organizers coordinate and communicate. In addition to an unconference style event, there will be workshops that offer tutorials on how to build AR applications.

Sponsors/Supporters
Meet the sponsors:
- Sponsorship: We gratefully acknowledge our sponsors' support for the open AR development community! If you would like to become a sponsor to help us with a contribution to cover basic event costs (food/drink etc) ping @ardevcamp on Twitter.
- From AR DevCamp, ardevcamp.org:
None of us claims to "own" the ARdevcamp concept, so no permission is necessary. Just go ahead and do it! All we ask is that any ARdevcamp events be consistent with furthering an open ARweb ecosystem and an open ARweb technology stack; 3D geocodes, image triggered positioning, point cloud mining, 3d cartography, data, semantics, cross-domain interoperability, rendering frame works, network streaming and caching, sensor integration, apis, etc. We also request that special care be taken so that ARdevcamp does not become a captured brand of [welcomed] commercial interest sponsors.
