Abstract:
The 21st century will be characterized by a number of technical revolutions, which will not leave the ways in which humans interact unchanged. New forms of interactions will change our society in unforeseeable ways. On the other hand, pressing problems such as environmental protection, energy shortages, the spread of pandemic diseases, global crises, etc., demand novel approaches to collect and to correlate more precisely demographic data. To analyze this challenge and to investigate possible technological scenarios, this paper introduces the concept of a Body Aura, a digital extension of the body functions of a person or a group of persons to the environment.
