Human Augmentation
Human Augmentation is the process of enhancing or changing a person’s physical or mental capabilities with the aid of technology. This could be in the form of a prosthetic limb, a wearable device or a surgically implanted device. It is an area of design that requires a combination of technological, medical and design knowledge to craft solutions that are both aesthetically pleasing and effective. It is a rapidly growing field that is transforming the way we think about human physical capabilities.

Human Augmentation
Human Augmentation is the process of using technology to enhance the physical, cognitive, and/or physiological capacities of the human body. This can be done through the use of exoskeletons, prosthetics, implants, and other devices. Exoskeletons are robotic frames that can be worn outside of the body to give the user additional strength and mobility, while prosthetics are artificial limbs and body parts that are used to replace lost or damaged parts. Implants are devices that are placed inside of the body and can be used to provide medical treatment, monitor bodily functions, or provide extra capabilities. By augmenting the human body, it is possible to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, increase physical and cognitive abilities, and even extend life expectancies.
