Many conferences and workshops address interaction in social networks and virtual communities. Recently, the MapIsNet Workshop at Interact 2007 (http://www.dsi.unive.it/mapisnet07/) has specifically addressed the use of maps for social interaction, emphasizing the active role of maps as a way to organize the knowledge within communities, overcoming their traditional use as displays of geographic localization.

Urban mixed realities represent a growing and exciting area of research, which requires new ways of thinking about issues such as usability, place and presence. Urban situations are dynamic and can change rapidly, with a vast array of complex and exciting rhythms. They cover a whole spectrum of complex and chaotic happenings which span organisational and material configurations. These characteristics are both challenges and motivations for exploring mixed reality technology solutions, in particular with respect to finding ways to improve the ways in which participants can relate to the environment and to others.
