抄録
In my research, I combine design and technology to augment human senses, looking for novel interaction paradigms. Engineering and computing have often been used to mimic or surpass some human abilities (for example autonomous driving, playing Go). Such efforts appear to put humans and computers in a competitive relationship, as emphasized in AI vs. Human game competitions. Once fantastic fear of AIs “replacing” human workers is now taken much more seriously and discussed in the public sphere. My research proposes a different approach to the human-computer relationship by applying a cooperative and empowering framework, using wearable computing to actively augment human capabilities.
At the beginning of my talk, I will discuss our efforts to augment audiences with physiological sensors to understand more about audience/performer entrainment and create feedback spirals. I explore the concepts of entrainment and what it means to be live in person at a meeting/concert or other gathering. We discuss application scenarios of capturing inter-personal synchrony between audience and performers as well as potential body schema extension technologies.
