About the Conference
Multiple forecasts indicate that the evolution of media and technology will further blur the boundary between the real-word and the virtual world. To better understand how these new realities impact a variety of business and management practices, the growing and interdisciplinary community of international researcher meets at the international ARVR conference to present and discuss recent advancements in the field. This conference has rapidly developed from a small conference on AR, VR, and Mixed Reality to an established conference attracting researchers from business, tourism, MIS, and so forth. The last conference attracted more than 230 people from more than 20 countries to Manchester, UK. In addition, keynote speakers from renown companies, such as Microsoft , BBC, PwC, and Samsung, discussed new technological developments within the industry; a presentation that continues to attract numerous scholars from around the world.
In 2019, the conference will be held at the Universität der Bundeswehr München, in Germany, hosted by Prof. Dr. Philipp Rauschnabel, chair of the newly founded Professorship of Digital Marketing and Media Innovation.

UX for Industrial Augmented Reality
AR has come a long way since its early marker tracking days, but the allure of an augmented reality world often still results in embracing the gimmick of AR instead of solving existing problems. In this keynote, we will look into how to make AR applications truly useful and what it takes to use available AR technologies in a meaningful way. The real-world people and their concerns in productive industrial environments will be considered with a strong focus on how user experience and usability can make or break AR’s ability to support them in their daily industrial tasks.

"XR in the Travel and Airline Industry - the Day after Tomorrow"
XR IN AIRLINE & TRAVEL INDUSTRY -
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work and relate to one another in the Airline industry.AI and XR technology’s are fundamentally disrupting all services and products and the pace of change is astonishing. It is expected that the this change regarding its scale, scope and complexity during the transformation will be unlike anything we in the Airline industry have experienced before.
What could be effects on our products, what do our customers expect and lastly what about our workers? We do not yet know just how it will unfold, but one thing is clear: the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive and must involve all stakeholders within the Airline industry.

How Augmented Reality can support Onboarding in HR.
More and more companies are trying to find applications for augmented reality apart from marketing gimmicks. Many are currently considering how to simplify the start of new employees. The new employees are put on glasses and then they are sent on an orientation tour through the house. Of course, such an app can also be used for applicants or visitors of a company.

Wonders to Vehold: Emerging AR Interoperability in Museum Collections
Rapid developments in digital library collections, particularly with extensive adoption of the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), have helped substantially establish standards for digitally sharing (and preserving) art, books, manuscripts and other 2D materials. Web-based viewers enable reassembling of originals or creation of composites from remote pieces. The IIIF 3D Community includes key projects which present 2D images and 3D models together using web-based viewers, use a mainstay file format, and have inbuilt concern for digital preservation. Working with libraries and museums in Cambridge, Yale, Harvard and Oxford, and the IIIF-supportive Universal Viewer developer, these 2D and emerging 3D standards will guide a proposed joint project to bring together Charles Darwin's writings and instruments with an AR reuniting of his separated botanical, geological and zoological samples.

Barriers to Adoption"
Augmented Reality in Manufacturing - Barriers to Adoption
While we observe well established applications and technologies, very little is known how to effectively implement AR in organizations, and in particular in manufacturing. The objective of our research was to identify drivers and barriers of AR in manufacturing on a corporate as well as on a user level. For the most crucial barriers that were revealed, strategies that manufacturing firms can implement were identified and will be presented.

Location
We are based in a beautiful landscape, you can see the Alps nearby. Signs of history are characteristic for the territory, e.g. an old chapel or a former military airport with a huge runway, which serves with the surrounding nature as a recreational area for the whole public.
The basic task of the University Munich of the German Armed Forces, which was founded in the year 1973, is to provide officers and officer candidates with a solid university education. The number of students has increased continuously. Currently about 3,000 military and civilian students are enrolled.
The trimester system, the campus-style layout of the university and the individual academic supervision provided to the students in small groups facilitate the successful completion of studies within a short period of time. The students are awarded bachelor’s and master’s degrees equivalent to those awarded by other German universities. Research and academic teaching at the Bundeswehr University Munich is not restricted, and excellent scientific facilities allow high-level research that is competitive on an international scale. Air and space research or automotive research e.g. in the respect of autonomous driving are examples of our very recognised scientific expertise. We founded a cyber innovation center, which will integrate experts form all over Europe. It is the biggest cyber center in Germany.
The University Management is committed to continuously improving conditions for studies and research. The structural reform of the year 2000, which strengthened the university's autonomy and made it more open to the public, has enabled the Bundeswehr University Munich to respond quickly and flexibly to the growing challenges it faces and to continue paving the way for reforms.
