The First IEEE VR Workshop on Human Augmentation and Its Applications (HAA2019)
March 24th (Sun), 2019
co-located with IEEE VR 2019 (OSAKA)
Abstract:
Human augmentation is regarded as an important research field with a view to the future society in which computer technology, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Robotics, etc. are highly integrated. Human augmentation is not just a research to make human much stronger. It should be used to assist people’s daily activities. For example, it can be used to teach sports or musical performances more effectively. It can be used even for assisting handicapped person. This workshop is expecting novel research results or late breaking results on designs, methods, implementations, or applications to augment or enhance human ability, in physical and intellectual, by using advanced technologies of VR/AR, AI, CV, and Robotics.
Main topics:
・VR/AR/MR/Robotics for human augmentation;
・Computer vision and Artificial Intelligence for human augmentation;
・Brain machine interface and human augmentation;
・Design consideration and cognitive aspect for human augmentation;
・Applications of human augmentation such as sports, music and art performance;
