3Introduction
Human augmentation are the technologies that
enhance human productivity or efficiency . The
modern advancements taking place in the field of
IT have evolved a greater variety of
technologies. Human augmentation is generally
referenced as extreme, futuristic tech, but in
reality many forms of human augmentation exist
today. If implemented correctly it has the
capability to improve human health, productivity
and overall lifestyle.
4What augmentation adds to human efficiency?Human
augmentation is referred to as technologies that
enhance human capability or productivity, which
somehow add benefits for the human structure. If
something is augmented, then it must be so
integrated into someones life that it acts as an
extension of them. Its always with us, augments
our ability since we can grab information anytime
through it.
5So for a technology to be categorized as an
augmentation, it should be a persistent and
intuitive part of the human way of life on a
regular basis. A mechanical tool never elaborates
our identity but the augmented things always do.
Pacemakers, wearable devices, spectacles etc.
fall under the category of augmentations.
6Types of Human Augmentation
7There are three main categories of human
augmentation.Curb human ability Human
augmentations restore or curb certain human
abilities that can be replicated. This can
include medical equipment like hearing aids for
deaf, and artificial bones for disabled etc.
8Amplify human ability Those human augmentation
which increases our ability to do something can
be put under the category of supplementation.
Under this category falls the devices which
increase our strength, intelligence
etc. Exceptional human ability Human
augmentations that allow us to perform
supernatural phenomena can be categorized under
the exceptional augmentation. The augmentations
like breathing underwater and seeing infrared
lights fall under this category.
9We at the Himalayan Company are working with the
latest technological trends in order to deeply
evolve technology products. These technology
further augments human ability. The products and
software we develop are the crucial players in
the technology market today. They act as a huge
augmentation value for the clients. Our upcoming
products are also based on the new technologies
which are playing a key role in the present
scenario in the development of human augmentative
products.
10Human-augmentation technologies also work with
specific IT resources like big data analytics and
mobile and cloud computing. These technologies
include smart wearable devices such as smart
watches which links a human structure to an
external source of information like smartphones.
The development advancements taking place in the
field of robotics will enhance the human sensory
experience to new heights in future. With the
help of human augmentation the future generations
will be stronger and more productive.
