Workshop on amplification and augmentation of human perception
The workshop was held in the premier conference for Human Computer Interaction ( CHI 2017 - Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems). We brought together researchers who look at opportunities of using technologies to amplify and augment human perception to keep up with technical advances. We explored topics like: sensory illusions and substitutions, enhancing communication and immersion, adopting animals' sensory models in humans, remote motor activation of people, and bodily experiences. We accepted 18 position papers and 6 posters in the workshop and held numerous activities to foster intriguing discussions in the scientific community.
