AH2024: 14th Augmented Human International Conference Geneva, Switzerland, September 6, 2024

The Augmented Human (AH) international conference focuses on scientific contributions towards augmenting human capabilities through technology for increased well-being and enjoyable experiences. Once again, we welcome industrial, art, and fashion contributions. We have broadened the program committee from computer science to augmented art, health, and sociology. Booths will be available for art, fashion, and technology demonstrations. We will also have an event in the Decentraland Metaverse. As in previous years, the conference proceedings should be published in the ACM Digital Library as a volume in its International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS), and extended versions of accepted papers will be again considered for the Springer Augmented Human Research Journal.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Augmented Humans in the Metaverse
• Augmented Art and Fashion
• NFT and AI applied to Augmented Art and Fashion
• Generative Art and AI Art 
• Bionics and Biomechanics

Important Dates (All deadlines by the end of the day CET)

• April 30th, 2024: Deadline submission
• May 31st, 2024: Author acceptance/rejection 
• June 30th, 2024: Camera-ready deadline and at least one paid conference full registration per accepted paper
• September 6th, 2024: Conference in Geneva

Submissions shall be made to the conference management system via the following link:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ah2024

At least 3 double-blind reviews per submission will be done. All submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. At least one author per accepted submission must attend the conference to present their work in Geneva. Each accepted submission must have at least one paid conference full registration.

Accepted manuscripts for all submission categories will likely be published in the ACM digital library as in previous editions. All submissions must follow the ACM SIG Proceedings template on this page: http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html

Among the various ACM paper templates, make sure that you use the “SigConf” version, i.e., use “sample-sigconf.tex” if you use LaTeX, and “ACM_SigConf.docx” if you use MS Word for preparing your manuscript. In addition, make sure that you use the 2012 ACM Computing Classification System (CCS) at https://dl.acm.org/ccs/ccs.cfm to choose CCS Concepts for your paper. For detailed instructions, refer to the CCS 2012 page: https://dl.acm.org/ccs/ccs.cfm?id=0&lid=0&nav=w

If the authors, companies, or artists want a booth to showcase their art, fashion, gaming, or technology demo to the visitors at the conference venue in Geneva, they will have to book an additional paid booth space to be confirmed with the conference organizers. Email us at

support@augmented-human.com

Supplementary submission materials, such as video clips, are encouraged but not mandatory. 

We encourage authors to submit supporting video material in addition to the PDF submission. 

All accepted papers will be recommended for publication in the Springer Augmented Human Research (AHR) Journal with sufficiently newly added content and a lighter review process than for regular AHR Journal submission.
