Human-Centric Computing in the Age of AI Track (part 1)

Hosted by Prof. Siyu Tang and Prof. Philipp Fürnstahl

Organizer and Session Chair: Dr. Manuel Kaufmann, Dr. Flora Vajda, Dr. Christina Tsalicoglou

In Human-Centric Computing we aim to build methods and representations to  better understand how humans move within the physical world and interact with it.  Progress in this domain offers to unlock a number of appealing applications. In this track we set out to highlight these latest advances for mixed reality applications, where the physical world can be reconstructed and augmented with interactive features and generated objects. For instance, medical AR applications can improve the learning process for medical professionals, telepresence can enable more efficient remote meetings, and AR can provide fascinating immersive experiences for entertainment. Further, we provide segments on biomedical applications that benefit from human-like machine perception such as personalized health assistants that can, e.g., automatically diagnose and prevent movement pathologies, support cost-effective rehabilitation in patient’s homes,…
