“…The augmentation should genuinely feel like a part of the user's natural abilities and not like technical tools. It should not require the user to wear technology or perform actions that feel uncomfortable or look weird to bystanders (Akkil et al, 2016). Even if highly beneficial, high-tech aids are often rejected by the elderly who do not want to highlight their disability (Yusif et al, 2016).…”

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. Augmented abilities have also been achieved with external tools, such as eyeglasses, binoculars, microscopes or highly sensitive microphones. Lately, augmented reality and multimodal interaction technologies have enabled non-invasive ways to augment human.In this article, we first discuss the field and related terms. We provide relevant definitions based on the present understanding of the field. 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. Therefore, we conclude by discussing ethical and societal issues: privacy, social manipulation, autonomy and side effects, accessibility, safety and balance, and unpredictable future.

“…The study employed a within-subjects design with the following factors and levels: condition (gestural text entry out-of-pocket, gestural text entry in-pocket, tap text entry out-of-pocket, and tap text entry in-pocket) and block (1)(2)(3)(4).…”

“…The techniques that out-perform STAT are head pointing [45], controller pointing [38], and techniques optimizing hand-held smartphone typing [24,43,50]. Considering head and controller pointing, we note that, while speed is high, gaze is perceived to be strenuous [2], and may suffer from issues of social acceptability [35]; in contrast, while specialized handheld controllers may exhibit stronger overall performance, they are yet another device to locate, and, as Akkil et al note [2], mobile phones are considered a natural complement to HMDs for functions such as text entry.…”

“…This, in turn, may require specialized devices [25], additional sensors [41], or learning a new input mapping [46] to effectively input text. Gaze eliminates the need for specialized devices, but is perceived to be "complex, strenuous and slow" [2], and both speech and gaze suffer from issues of social acceptability, especially when compared with on-device interaction [35]. While it is possible to type on a virtually displayed keyboard [38], this requires tracking of finger position and, without a physical surface, it is challenging for users to localize keys-potentially reducing the speed and accuracy of such a technique.…”

“…In recent work, Akkil et al [2] note that, for users of smartglasses and other HMDs, mobile phones are considered to "complement" HMDs, particularly for functions where the HMDs are lacking, such as text entry. As users have become proficient in text entry [34] on mobile touchscreens, we propose integrating this existing proficiency with HMDs.…”

In head-mounted display (HMD) interaction, text entry is frequently supported via some form of virtual touch, controller, or ray casting keyboard. While these options effectively support text entry, they often incur costs of additional external hardware, awkward movements, and hand encumbrance. We propose STAT, a low-cost, mobile, touch typing technique that leverages a smartphone screen located at the thigh, to support both tap and word gesture text input for HMDs. Through a controlled laboratory study, we explore the efficacy of our technique-including a comparison of typing in and out of an enclosed pocket-and present design recommendations for the opportunistic use of a personal touchscreen device positioned at a user's thigh for HMD text entry.

Gaze provides an attractive input channel for human-computer interaction because of its capability to convey the focus of interest. Gaze input allows people with severe disabilities to communicate with eyes alone. The advances in eye tracking technology and its reduced cost make it an increasingly interesting option to be added to the conventional modalities in every day applications. For example, gaze-aware games can enhance the gaming experience by providing timely effects at the right location, knowing exactly where the player is focusing at each moment. However, using gaze both as a viewing organ as well as a control method poses some challenges. In this chapter, we will give an introduction to using gaze as an input method. We will show how to use gaze as an explicit control method and how to exploit it subtly in the background as an additional information channel. We will summarize research on the application of different types of eye movements in interaction and present research-based design guidelines for coping with typical challenges. We will also discuss the role of gaze in multimodal, pervasive and mobile interfaces and contemplate with ideas for future developments.
