The advancement of human-computer integration as a research field promises to introduce transhumanistic ways of communicating through the enhanced abilities of augmented humans. Our work seeks to illuminate this experiential landscape, exploring a ...

Telepresence robots, designed to bridge physical distances, have unique capabilities and inherent limitations when deployed in classroom environments. This study examines these aspects, focusing on how telepresence robots facilitate or hinder classroom ...

Human-Computer Integration (HInt) is an emerging new paradigm in the human-computer interaction (HCI) field. Its goal is to integrate the human body and the computational machine. This monograph presents two key dimensions of Human-Computer Integration (...

While increasing numbers of HCI Designers or Researchers design tools for health and wellbeing, few have a background in human anatomy and physiology. Inbodied Interaction 101 provides a fundamental orientation to human anatomy and physiology ...

What for and how will we design children's technologies in the transhumanism age, and what stance will we take as designers? This paper aims to answer this question with 13 fictional abstracts from sixteen authors of different countries, institutions and ...

Human-Computer Integration (HInt) is an emerging paradigm in which computational and human systems are closely interwoven. Integrating computers with the human body is not new. however, we believe that with rapid technological advancements, increasing ...

We present the main conclusions from an analysis of a cyborg design session in which sketches were created to brainstorm novel cyborg applications. We take these sketches and analyze them using image boards, which are a collage of pictures used to ...

There is an increasing trend in utilizing interactive technology for bodily integrations, such as additional limbs and ingestibles. Prior work on bodily integrated systems mostly examined them from a productivity perspective. In this article, we suggest ...

Digital information is typically only understood via lengthy explanations or data visualizations. It is my goal to use data to create physical objects that can not only represent the information that was used to create them but also to provide an ...

We note a trend on utilizing interactive technology to extend human capacities through bodily cyborg-like integrations such as artificial limbs and implantables. This trend is often captured by the term "transhumanism", referring to the use of technology ...

This study deals with young people's attitudes towards and social acceptance of "cyborg technology" including wearables and insideables (or implantable devices) to enhance human ability in Japan as part of the international research project on cyborg ...

We provide attendees with a hands-on demonstration of several our interactive systems based on electrical muscle stimulation. These wearable devices allow attendees, for example, to transform their arms in interactive plotters, physically learn how to ...

A community of DIY cyborgs has emerged, known as 'grinders', who practice techno-body modification-the embedding of computing technology into the body. This paper reports on an ethnographic study following GrinderTech, an organization working to design, ...

This note discusses the use of cyborg theory to study assistive technology (AT) use by people with visual impairment (VI) in development contexts. We argue that the deep intimate interconnections that people form with their AT, while allowing them to ...

Twitter is a new web application playing dual roles of online social networking and microblogging. Users communicate with each other by publishing text-based posts. The popularity and open structure of Twitter have attracted a large number of automated ...

We consider some possible broad changes that may impact society as a whole as a result of widespread integration of full-spectrum deployed pervasive computing technologies. Our approach considers design challenges for successfully developing and ...

Twitter is a new web application playing dual roles of online social networking and micro-blogging. Users communicate with each other by publishing text-based posts. The popularity and open structure of Twitter have attracted a large number of automated ...

The CIPO artwork program are interactive action based installations, that investigate through robot agents, the relationship between subjects, body and space. The interminglements of spectators within the digital framework turn the space into an ...

Our freedoms in cyberspace are those granted by code and the protocols it implements. When man and machine interact, co-exist, and intermingle, cyberspace comes to interpenetrate the real world fully. In this cyborg world, software retains its ...

We introduce a new musical instrument in which computation is used to modify acoustically generated sounds. The acoustically generated sounds originate from real physical objects in the user's environment. These sounds are picked up by one or more ...
