Human augmentation or augmented humans is regarded as an important research field with a view to the future society in which computer technology such as 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 people with disabilities. 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.

Submission Guidelines

We invite position papers for the CHI2021 Workshop on "Human Augmentation for Skill Acquisition and Skill Transfer" (HAA 2021). This half-day workshop will offer an interdisciplinary forum of discussion for both academics and industries.

Researchers and developers are invited to submit 2 pages of position paper in the ACM Master Article Template (references excluded) within the scope of challenges for Human Augmentation for Skill Acquisition and Skill Transfer.

List of Topics

In particular, we are expecting, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Computer visions for acquiring skills

• Visual/audio/haptic feedback for transferring skills

• Deep Learning for skill abstraction

• Systems and case studies in sports training

• Systems and case studies in music training

• Systems and case studies in rehabilitation

Venue

The workshop will be held as a part of CHI 2021 on May 8, 2021 [Virtual conference].
