134 Safety and usage information
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information
Your device conforms to European Union (EU) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg. During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.988 W/kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy. The Declaration of Conformity at the back of this manual demonstrates your devices compliance with the European Radio & Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung mobile device website.

Mobile-AR Application Contest with Samsung Wave Phone & Workshop
Background and Motivation As the smartphone supporting a camera, GPS, compass, and Internet as basic functions is burrowing into daily life, mobile AR (Augmented Reality) applications are becoming quite popular. Whether smartphone users know what mobile AR is or not, they are interested in what the mobile-AR killer service in daily life will be. For example, Sekai Camera and Layar open mobile users eyes to new AR experiences. Sekai Camera allows people to place tags and photos in any location around them. Layar enables people to place digital information on the top of the real world as seen through the mobile phones camera. Today, mobile users are looking for more mobile AR applications beyond Sekai Camera and Layar. Objectives The aim of this workshop is to discover unique and practical ideas and technologies through a mobile AR application contest between worldwide researchers related to the ISMAR conference. In this workshop, the hardware (Samsung Wave phone) and software platform (bada SDK) for mobile AR are going to be distributed free of charge to contest participants. We encourage many developers to take an active part in this workshop in order to find out and share various and valuable mobile AR applications in real life. How to Participate in the Workshop The workshop will be organized as mobile-application contest and workshop. The results of the contest will be presented in a plenary of ideas and technologies on mobile AR at the conclusion of the workshop. This workshop will last for one full day and will be limited to 10 participants to enable productive discussions. Participants will be invited on the basis of mobile-AR proposals, which will be selected based on their originality and contribution to the workshop. The proposal should address at least one of the workshop topics and be in the form of a technical paper, experience report, or work-in-progress report. In order to participate in the Mobile-AR Application Contest, contestants must submit proposals describing their ideas before the deadline. The proposals may be up to 2 pages in length and must follow standard IEEE style guidelines in PDF format. Then, each selected contestant will be given the hardware (Samsung Wave Phone) and software platform (bada SDK) for mobile AR after reviewing proposals. o Proposal Submission (to): jinibini.kim@samsung.com , say.jang@samsung.com
