Title:

Amplified Human Senses - Enhancing Visual Perception Using Computational Glasses

Location:

Owheo G34 - 1:00 pm, Friday 1 March

Abstract:

Prescription glasses are used by millions of people as a simple, and even fashionable way to correct refractive problems of the anterior eye. However, the rise of head-mounted display technology traditionally used for Augmented Reality has the potential to go beyond what is possible with purely optical prescription glasses. In my talk, I will shed some light on our research on Computational Glasses where we investigate Computational Glasses as a tool for amplifying human senses by enhancing the visual representation of the environment. I will present some first prototypes for Computational Glasses that analyse the environment and change its appearance to amplify the perception of the user. Applications include extending human vision and compensating for visual impairments.
