About this Research Topic
The idea of augmenting the human intellect has a long tradition, the term was coined by Douglas Engelbart in 1962. Today, many of the technologies envisioned by Engelbart and other are commonplace, and looking towards the future, many technologies which amplify the human body and mind far beyond the original vision are within reach.
The conference focuses on physical, cognitive, and perceptual augmentation of humans through digital technologies. The plural – humans – emphasizes the move towards technologies that enhance human capabilities beyond the individual and will have the potential for impact on societal scale.
Topics of interest include:
Digital technologies for physical, cognitive, mental, and perceptional augmentation; Wearable Computing and Ubiquitous Computing for augmenting human capabilities; Bionic systems for amplification and augmentation of human abilities; Exoskeletons and technologies for the amplification of human physical strength and; Physiological sensing for human augmentation, including Brain-Computer Interfaces; Implanted technologies and interfaces; Sensors and Actuators for Smart Artifacts and Smart Textiles; Sensing for Context-Awareness; Augmented Sport; Augmentation technologies for aspects of live; Augmentation of human health through digital technologies; Technologies to improve human experience and to reduce stress; Training and Rehabilitation Technology; Augmented and Mixed Reality; Applications in Tourism, Games, Art; Aspects of Privacy and Security of Augmented Human Technology.
