The Augmented Humans (AHs) International Conference 2023 will be an in-person event, held in March 2023 in the Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre (ARC, University of Glasgow).

The conference focuses on physical, cognitive, and perceptual augmentation of humans through digital technologies. The plural – humans – emphasizes the move towards technologies that enhance human capabilities beyond the individual and will have the potential for impact on a societal scale.

The idea of augmenting the human intellect has a long tradition, the term was coined by Douglas Engelbart in 1962. Today, many of the technologies envisioned by Engelbart and other are commonplace, and looking towards the future, many technologies which amplify the human body and mind far beyond the original vision are within reach.

The conference proceedings are planned to be published in the ACM Digital Library as a volume in its International Conference Proceedings Series with ISBN.

Venue

The Augmented Humans conference will take place at the Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre (ARC) at the University of Glasgow (see on Google Maps).
