The 2nd International Conference on Augmented and Virtual Reality (SALENTO AVR 2015) will take place in Lecce (Italy) from August 31 to September 3, 2015. This edition of SALENTO AVR ranged over topics from virtual/augmented/mixed reality to 3D user interfaces and the technologies needed to develop applications in many areas such as medicine, entertainment, arts and cultural heritage, military field, the industry, and maintenance. These topics were addressed by paper sessions, demos and poster sessions. We are very grateful to the Program Committee and Local Organizing Committee members for their support and for the time spent to review and discuss the submitted papers and doing so in a timely and professional manner. We would like to sincerely thank the keynote and tutorial speakers who willingly accepted our invitation and shared their expertise through illuminating talks, helping us to fully meet the conference objectives. We extend our thanks to the University of Salento for the enthusiastic acceptance to host the conference and the sponsors (*) for providing support in the organization of the event. Last but not least, we would like to thank all authors for submitting of their papers and presenting their works at the conference and all the conference attendees for making SALENTO AVR 2015 an excellent forum on virtual and augmented reality, facilitating the exchange of ideas, fostering new collaborations, and shaping the future of this exciting research field.

Tutorials TUTORIAL 1 Stéphane Cotin INRIA France Research, prototyping, and product development of medical simulation applications using the SOFA framework Stephane Cotin joined INRIA in 2007 as Research Director. Since January 2010 he has lead the SHACRA group, a multidisciplinary team of scientists involved in the field on medical simulation. Stephane also manages the development of a Large Scale Initiative on Medical Simulation. Stephane is a senior research scientist with experience in biomechanical modeling, real-time simulation, and physics-based modeling. Specialized in medical applications, from training to planning of complex medical procedures. Management of several projects and teams. Stephane is currently responsible for the development of a national initiative on Medical Simulation using the SOFA framework as a common platform for research, integration and validation of new algorithms. From 1999 to 2007, Stephane was the research lead for the Sim Group at CIMIT in Boston where he was responsible for defining research directions and technical infrastructures for several simulation projects, including a Chest Trauma Training System, a Computer-Enhanced Laparoscopic Training System and an Interventional Radiology Training System.

Tutorials TUTORIAL 2 Fabrizio Funtò Hyperreality Partner Los Angeles, CA, USA Cultural Heritage Innovation Design: what caught my eye Fabrizio Funtò received the Italian Laurea in Philosophy of Language in 1984. After some collaborations with Enidata as teacher of Network Technologies and C Language programming, he joined Infobyte Spa as Programmers Team Leader, and after a couple of year as Managing Director. During his conduction, Infobyte has produces 30+ interactive CD-ROM titles and probably the most famous Virtual Reality attractions ever published in that pioneer age. He won the Perseo d Oro (Mediartech, Florence, 1996) in the category of Best Interactive CD ( Galleria Giulia ) and, together with Silicon Graphic, the TiLE Award 1997 with In Searching for the Holy Grail first ever multiplayer real time VR game. He then created the first virtual set for the Italian State Broadcast company (RAI) for two programs, Mixer and SuperQuark. In 1998 he teamed up with ACS Studio, continuing to produce worldwide level Virtual Reality titles like The Nero s Domus Aurea, The Mistery City, The Rollercoaster for The Tech Museum in San Jose (CA, USA) and some experiences for ESA (EU Space Agency). In the 2000 he founded a new company, Softdesign, in partnership with Harold Production, and followed two different production directions: real time attractions for videogames and virtual reality immersive experiences and 3D off-lines animations and visual effects. After some productions for the Rome Film Fest and the participation to an international project for distributing digital movies through satellites (ISIDE for the European Space Agency) as Digital Pictures, he became R&D consultant for Advanced Projects in Activision Blizzard, the USA giant videogames corporate of Vivendi/Universal Group. He is now involved into the design of large Cultural Heritage attractions.

His main research focuses are multi-sensorimotor, multimodal and collaborative V&AR interactions, and the related issues for users perception and cognition. He coordinated the scientific partnership of his Lab or led a number of research projects that have been or are currently funded by French government or by national and regional research institutes. He has been the founding secretary of AFRV, the French association of V&AR. At the international level, one of his actions has been to manage the CNRS Labs involved in INTUITION, the NoE of the 6th IST framework focused on V&AR, where he was member of the Core Group. He is founding member of EuroVR Association (www.eurovr-association.org), and has been re-elected last year to its executive board.

Keynote Speakers Luigi Gallo Institute for High Performance Computing and Networking (ICAR-CNR), Italy Touchless Interaction in Surgery: the Medical Imaging Toolkit Experience Luigi Gallo received the M.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II in July 2006 and a Ph.D. degree in Information Technology Engineering at the University of Naples Parthenope in April 2010. He is a Research Scientist at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) Institute for High-Performance Computing and Networking (ICAR), and a Lecturer of Informatics at the University of Naples Federico II. Since January 2011, he has been a member of the ihealthlab Intelligent Healthcare Laboratory. Since June 2007 he has been a member of the Advanced Medical Imaging and Computing laboratory (AMICO), developed from a cooperation agreement between the IBB and ICAR institutes of the National Research Council of Italy.

Venue The SALENTO AVR 2015 will take place in the Monastery of the Olivetani (Monastero degli Olivetani), adjacent to the Church of Saints Nicolò and Cataldo. The monastery was probably built between 1171 and 1174 for the order of Benedictine blacks. Of particular relevance are the traces of frescoes depicting episodes of monastic life. The Monastery has been recently restored by the University of Salento in collaboration with the Municipal administration. Today the monastery houses part of the Department of Cultural Heritage and the Department of Historical Studies, sections of the Cultural Heritage Faculty of the University of Salento.
