Title

A Journey from Augmenting Reality to Augmenting Humans

Abstract

In my Inaugural Professorial Lecture, I will share my academic journey, which, like others', was very unlikely to be predicted. Who could have known that someone born in East Germany would become an academic in Denmark? Not me! Besides sharing my personal story. I will also talk about my research field, augmented reality and human augmentation. I will discuss my small role in developing this field, specifically highlighting my research on enabling augmented reality interfaces on projectors and mobile devices, as well as the idea of vision augmentation to assist people with complex visual impairments using techniques traditionally used for augmented reality. My journey will show how my research area has envisioned the future, and I will make my own attempt to provide an outlook.
