Humans are dependent on their sensory perception being built upon their classical senses. Accordingly, researchers have been envisioning for decades to augment and enhance the existing spectrum of human senses by technological means. In this chapter, we will give an overview of scientific work that has been occupied with augmenting human senses to facilitate or enhance our capabilities. Further, we will present three exemplary applications extending the powers of the visual, auditory, and tactile senses following a threefold evaluation concept.
