Subject: Empowerment Technologies to Realize the Augmented Human
Summary: We propose empowerment technologies to enable people to do what they wish as a concept standing side by side with automation that uses machines to replace human labor. Empowerment makes possible interaction that seemingly augments the vision of the human body. This lecture will provide an introduction to empowerment technologies along with practical examples, looking at prospects for the future of empowerment technologies including superhuman sports and the future of the vision of the body.
