The following paper awards were received at the Augmented Humans 2024 International Conference held in Melbourne, Australia from April 4-6, 2024. This conference featured research on augmenting human capabilities through advanced technologies:
Serendipity Wall: A Discussion Support System Using Real-time Speech Recognition and Large Language Model Shota Imamura, Hirotaka Hiraki and Jun Rekimoto.
This research focuses on AI activating human discussions by dynamically searching for context-relevant information based on participants’ free speech recognized through voice recognition. It presents a user interface that displays discussion-relevant information summarized by a large language model on a large display without interrupting the discussion.
Aged Eyes: Optically Simulating Presbyopia Using Tunable Lenses Qing Zhang, Yoshihito Kondoh, Yuta Itoh and Jun Rekimoto.
This enables reproducing and simulating visual phenomena like presbyopia using liquid lenses that can dynamically adjust eyeglass degree, contributing to realizing the universal design.
WhisperMask: a noise suppressive mask-type microphone for whisper speech Hirotaka Hiraki, Shusuke Kanazawa, Takahiro Miura, Manabu Yoshida, Masaaki Mochimaru and Jun Rekimoto
FastPerson: Enhancing Video Learning through Effective Video Summarization that Preserves Linguistic and Visual Contexts Kazuki Kawamura and Jun Rekimoto
SkillsInterpreter: A Case Study of Automatic Annotation of Flowcharts to Support Browsing Instructional Videos in Modern Martial Arts using Large Language Models Kotaro Oomori, Yoshio Ishiguro and Jun Rekimoto
Serendipity Wall: A Discussion Support System Using Real-time Speech Recognition and Large Language Model Shota Imamura, Hirotaka Hiraki and Jun Rekimoto
Exploring the Kuroko Paradigm: The Effect of Enhancing Virtual Humans with Reality Actuators in Augmented Reality Émilie Fabre, Jun Rekimoto and Yuta Itoh
