Engaging Human Augmentation  - Stephan Lukosch

Abstract: The concept of engagement is far from unique to interactive systems. In colloquial use, it refers to a state of involvement or participation. When people are engaged, it means they are focused with their thoughts on an activity, instead on something else. Human augmentation is about augmenting human abilities by human-computer-integration to enhance and create new experiences as well as foster engagement. In this talk, I review the concept of engagement in interactive systems. I, then, discuss the challenge of assessing engagement along different projects in the health, safety and security as well as sports domain that have used human augmentation for different purposes. For that purpose, I present several different assessment methods and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. I will conclude with a summary and several future work directions.Short CV: Stephan Lukosch is a Professor at the HIT Lab NZ of the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. Until 2019, he was an Associate Professor at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. He received his Dr. rer. nat. with distinction from the University of Hagen, Germany in 2003. His current research focuses on human augmentation to enhance human capabilities. In order to create a design framework for developers, designers and future users, he explores human augmentation in different domains such as sports, health, safety &amp; security, and engineering. His work includes the evaluation of human factors on acceptance, engagement and experience of human augmentation.He is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He further serves on the editorial board of the Springer Journal of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Augmented Reality Specialty Section of Frontiers in Virtual Reality, Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS) and the International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS).
