Abstract
Assistive augmentation promotes the independence of individuals with impairments by enhancing human capabilities that help overcome specific barriers or challenges. To understand these challenges and other requirements of the user, co-design – a method often used in the design of assistive technologies – could be adopted. Through engaging end-users in the design and development process, augmentation technologies could be designed to cater to the changing needs of users, including requirements for the modality of enhancement and technology integration. However, considerations specific to the co-design of assistive augmentations, such as the involvement of stakeholders beyond individuals with impairments, have yet to be explored. This workshop aims to gather insights from designers and researchers to synthesise new strategies for co-designing assistive augmentation technologies.
