Type: Expanding usage of augmented reality devices to provide hands-free data access and navigation guidance

Augmented reality (AR) devices are wearable technologies that overlay digital information and virtual objects in the physical world. They meet the need for enhanced user experiences and productivity. These devices are in high demand due to their ability to provide hands-free data access and navigation guidance. Biometric technologies such as fingerprint/iris scanners and facial recognition systems are used for authentication and identification and are preferred for convenience and security. Biometric systems are automated methods for verifying or specifying the identity of a living person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Exoskeletons are wearable mobile machines that work in conjunction with human capabilities. They fit around the torso and limbs and use powered joints and links to increase strength and endurance. Exoskeletons are often used to aid human mobility and make physical tasks easier. Intelligent virtual assistants (IVAs) are software agents that understand voice commands and natural language to assist humans with various tasks. IVAs are integrated into various internet-connected devices and platforms to augment human capabilities conveniently and hands-freely. Virtual reality (VR) devices transport users into an immersive computer-generated environment. VR is used for gaming, entertainment, education, training, and simulation. The highly immersive experience offered through VR augments human perception, cognition, and physical capabilities. Wearable devices are integrated into clothing or accessories items to enhance capabilities. More advanced wearables could provide augmented reality displays, track eye movements and brain activity, and enhance human physical strength or endurance.

Functionality: Increasing usage of body-worn human augmentation to enhance mobility and endurance

Body-worn human augmentation involves devices physically attached to the body, such as exoskeletons, wearable health monitors, and prosthetics, enhancing physical abilities. These body-worn human devices are often used in manufacturing and healthcare industries to enhance strength, mobility, and endurance of individuals. Non-body-worn human augmentation includes devices, including neurotechnology and implantable devices that provide enhancements without physical attachment, focusing on cognitive or sensory augmentation. These technologies do not require physical attachment to the body and are often focused on cognitive or sensory augmentation.

End-user: Increasing application of human augmentation technologies in the manufacturing sector to improve worker productivity and efficiency

In the aerospace & defense sector, human augmentation technologies are employed to enhance physical and cognitive abilities, ensuring superior performance and safety. Exosuits and exoskeletons human augmentation devices augment soldiers’ physical strength and endurance, reducing fatigue during long missions and providing enhanced mobility. In healthcare, human augmentation technologies play a crucial role in rehabilitation, patient care, and improving the quality of life of individuals with disabilities. Prosthetic human augmentation enhances mobility and quality of life for amputees. Wearable monitors and health-tracking devices assist in managing chronic conditions and provide real-time health data for patients and healthcare providers. Human augmentation technologies are integral in the manufacturing sector to improve worker productivity, safety, and efficiency. Exoskeletons wearable devices reduce the physical strain on workers, particularly in industries involving heavy lifting or repetitive tasks. Human augmentation technologies offer immersive experiences and creative possibilities in the media & entertainment sector. These technologies enable immersive gaming, interactive storytelling, and enhanced experiences in theme parks and entertainment venues.
