Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to introduce the history of man-computer symbiosis conception which is closely related to the idea of human cognitive enhancement and human intelligence amplification. Selected works from Licklider, Ashby and Engelbart are discussed and compared to the conception of augmented reality arisen in the 1990s. In the author’s point of view these two conceptions represent two different dimensions of enhancing human experience, the ontological and the cognitive. It is shown in the paper that these two perspectives are related very closely and can be considered as deeply integrated in the future.
