Human Augmentation focuses on creating cognitive and physical improvements as an integral part of body. Human Augmentation is a field of research that aims to enhance human abilities through medicine or technology. This has historically been achieved by consuming chemical substances that improve a selected ability or by installing Implants which require medical operations. Both of these methods of augmentation can be invasive an example is using active control systems to create limb prosthetics with characteristics exceeding the normal speed, flexibility, neurological stimulation in short overall performances. Human Augmentation has been designed to fulfill everyone’s long lived desires to be faster, smarter and to build new abilities. Lately, augmented reality and multimodal interaction technologies have enabled non-invasive ways to augment human. We’ll be reviewing the past, present, future of Human Augmentation, the replicating human ability and its examples. This is followed by a summary of existing work in augmented senses, action, and cognition. Our contribution to the future includes a model for wearable augmentation. In addition, we present a call for research to realize this vision. Then, we discuss future human abilities. Wearable technologies may act as mediators for Human Augmentation, in the same manner as eyeglasses once revolutionized human vision. Non-invasive and easy-to-use wearable extensions will enable lengthening the active life for aging citizens or supporting the full inclusion of people with special needs in society, but there are also potential problems [4]..

Abstract


Human Augmentation focuses on creating cognitive and physical improvements as an integral part of body. Human Augmentation is a field of research that aims to enhance human abilities through medicine or technology. This has historically been achieved by consuming chemical substances that improve a selected ability or by installing Implants which require medical operations. Both of these methods of augmentation can be invasive an example is using active control systems to create limb prosthetics with characteristics exceeding the normal speed, flexibility, neurological stimulation in short overall performances. Human Augmentation has been designed to fulfill everyone’s long lived desires to be faster, smarter and to build new abilities. Lately, augmented reality and multimodal interaction technologies have enabled non-invasive ways to augment human. We’ll be reviewing the past, present, future of Human Augmentation, the replicating human ability and its examples. This is followed by a summary of existing work in augmented senses, action, and cognition. Our contribution to the future includes a model for wearable augmentation.
