In this Special Event, we showcase the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Research Task Group (RTG) focused on the assessment of human performance oriented augmentation technologies. The event will start with a short engagement with the RTG to review task group objectives, followed by an overview of the innovative technologies that will be showcased. We provide an interactive forum to demonstrate current trends in augmentation technology in the context of human performance. This will involve hands-on demonstrations of nine (9) current and emerging technologies that interact with and stimulate user(s) perceptual systems resulting in higher learning, performance, retention, and/or transfer. As a participant in the Special Event, you will have a chance to engage directly with RTG members and I/ITSEC attendees in this focused context. The event will be documented and included as a chapter in the RTG final recommendation report.         Technology Demonstrations: Madigan Army Medical Group (Kyle Couperus) Design Interactive (Luke Devore) NeuroTracker (Scott Kozak and Lee Sidebottom) Modest Tree Media (Sam Sannandeji and Emily Smits) Intelligent Automation (Bob Pokorny, Chad Zalkin, Jeff Kish and Lisa Holt) Soar Technology (Alyssa Tanaka) Charles River Analytics (Caroline Kingsley, Arthur Wollocko and Michael Jenkins) HTC Vive (Amy Peck and Frank Black) Skydome (Peder Sjolund) University of Central Florida METIL (David Metcalf, Tim Welch, Michael Eakins) Microsoft/Insight Enterprise (Matt Fedorovich and David Eager)
