AUGSOC - Bringing the Augmented Society to Reality: Shaping Perception, Resilience, and Rights for Everyday AR

日常增强现实（AR）头戴式设备具有可穿戴、时尚、全天候的外形，将取代我们对物理显示器的依赖，预示着增强智能和感知、通信、生产力等方面的新功能。它们将成为我们日常生活的基础，就像今天的智能手机一样，使用户、社区、企业、政府和其他人能够改变、增强、减少或以其他方式调解我们对现实的感知。我认为，在推动增强社会的过程中，日常增强现实有可能成为我们所经历的社会变革的最强大的代理人。对于社会公益来说，这项技术将使我们能够“构建更好的现实”，增强社会身份的表达，以更好地代表我们的“真实”自我，并实际上增强现实世界的社交空间，以鼓励更大的社区所有权和社会凝聚力。然而，对于社会危害，日常AR可能侵犯用户和旁观者的隐私，并促进和放大我们日常现实体验中的信息混乱（例如，虚假信息），审查和胁迫。因此，至关重要的是，研究要寻求预测社会挑战，并引导日常AR的发展和立法-在大规模采用AR耳机之前最大限度地减少危害并最大限度地发挥社会效益。使用人机交互（HCI）方法，AUGSOC将探索我们如何安全地利用AR重塑我们对社会的看法，and develop发展resilience弹性to individual个人and institutional机构misuse误用and abuse滥用.我们将全面考虑我们的研究结果，提出新的数字人权和保护，特别是平衡AR用户感知代理（即用户独自控制他们所感知的内容）与其他人（个人，社区，机构）影响他们感知的愿望之间的紧张关系-支持EC数字社会愿景的基础，及时的研究。

Everyday Augmented Reality (AR) headsets, with wearable, fashionable, all-day form factors, willsupplant our reliance on physical displays, heralding new capabilities in augmented intelligence andperception, communication, productivity and more. They will become as fundamental to our daily livesas smartphones are today, empowering users, communities, business, governments and others to alter,augment, diminish or otherwise mediate our perception of reality.I argue that in driving the Augmented Society, everyday AR has the potential to become the most powerfulagent for societal change we have experienced. For social good, this technology will enable us to "builda better reality", augmenting expression of social identity to better represent our 'authentic' self,and virtually enhancing real-world social spaces to encourage greater community ownership and socialcohesion. For social harm however, everyday AR could infringe upon user and bystander privacy, andfacilitate and amplify information disorder (e.g. dis-information), censorship and coercion in our day-todayexperience of reality. Consequently, it is crucial that research seeks to anticipate societal challengesand steer the development of, and legislation around, everyday AR - minimising harm and maximising thepotential for social good before mass adoption of AR headsets in particular occurs.Using Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) methodology, AUGSOC will explore how we can safelyleverage AR to reshape how we perceive society, and develop resilience to individual and institutionalmisuse and abuse. We will holistically consider our findings to propose new digital human rights andprotections, in particular balancing the tension between AR user perceptual agency (i.e. that users solelycontrol what they perceive) against the desire of others (individuals, communities, institutions) to influencewhat they perceive - fundamental, timely research in support of the EC's vision of a digital society.
