Abstract
In this work we introduce a new research concept called
Augmented Human, and consider how it may benefit from
prior research efforts. In essence, the paper describes
the long research history of a specific
Virtual/Mixed/Augmented Reality (VR/MR/AR) laboratory and
reflects how it may well be employed as a premise for
Augmented Human research and the design of new
human-machine systems. The paper briefly describes how
constitutive laboratory research has already been
employed for some years in more than a hundred company
cases, which have exploited participatory design and
human-centered design for the human-machine system
development. The paper describes further how the latest
cases have moved closer to the human boundary level and
thus oriented towards Augmented Human research. This
fifth generation VR/MR/AR/AH laboratory has taken the
form of an open cave-like environment with a motion
platform, 3D sound, haptics, VR/AR Head-mounted displays
and physical objects.
