Steve Mann
可穿戴计算之父
多伦多大学教授
Mann是多伦多大学正教授，IEEE扩展智能委员会创始成员。
Mann创立了麻省理工学院可穿戴计算项目，并在1999年发明、设计和制造了世界上第一个智能手表，该成果在2001年IEEE ISSCC上发表，并被评为 "可穿戴计算之父"。Mann同时也是HDR（高动态范围）成像的发明者，该技术在超过30亿部智能手机中使用。
Mann在童年时代就展现了非凡的科研能力，儿童时期的他就发明了SWIM（Sequential Wave Imprinting Machine），用于扩展现实的波浪计算。SWIM开创了水-人-计算机交互（WaterHCI）这一全新领域。他还发明了与SWIM配套的用于交互式海洋雷达的Chirplet transform，并在1992年发表。同时Mann也是世界上第一个水基乐器——水听器的发明者。

01 元宇宙的定义是什么？
元宇宙是基于元感知的扩展现实（meta-sensory XR: eXtended Reality）。我认为元宇宙的最佳呈现需要通过可穿戴人工智能（Wearable AI）。
1974年，我发明了SWIM（连续波压印机Sequential Wave Imprinting Machine），它是一种波计算系统。SWIM 让人们不仅可以看到无线电波和声波本身并与之交互，同时还能看到相关设备感知波的能力并与之交互。我把“感知传感器（如雷达、声纳、麦克风、摄像头）及其感知能力”定义为元视觉、元感知、元监控、元成像、元测量等（Metavision、Meta-sensing、Metaveillance、Metaveillography and Metaveillogrammetry）。合在一起，这些概念定义了我认为的元宇宙。
2013年，基于我提出的Metavision 和Metaveillance 概念，我们成立了一家名为Meta的公司，开发“超视空间成像数字眼镜（Extramissive spatial imaging digital eye glass）”技术和产品。我提出的Metavision 和Metaveillance 本质属于“逆向监控”系统（Sousveillant System），逆向监控系统是人文智能（HI: Humanistic Intelligence）的基础。了解人文智能可通过我的论文——《人文计算：“穿戴计算”作为智能信号处理的一个新框架和应用》（Humanistic computing: “WearComp” as a new framework and application for intelligent signal processing） 。
02 什么不是元宇宙？
现在有哪些元素被贴上了元宇宙标签，但其实不是元宇宙，或者不是元宇宙的核心要素？
元宇宙这个词已经被用滥了。我认为缺乏逆向监控（sousveillance）的系统不应该被认为属于元宇宙，因为它们缺乏元宇宙必需要素的闭环反馈。如果没有逆向监控，就没有反馈回路，因此也就没有元宇宙。具体可了解我关于人文智能（Humanistic Intelligence）和元视觉（Metavision）/元监控（Metaveillance）分形属性的文章——“感知自我、社会与环境/ Sensing of the Self, Society, and the Environment”。
03 技术角度元宇宙的挑战
要实现真正意义上的元宇宙，技术上最大的挑战是什么？预计何时会取得突破？
最大的技术挑战在于可穿戴人工智能技术的发展，包括：共线性问题、光定量对齐问题、万物同轨等。我们预计眼神操作问题将在2025年左右实现突破，其他两个问题可能会更早解决。
04 ESG角度元宇宙的风险
从ESG角度：
? 环境Environmental
? 社会Social
? 治理Governance
您认为元宇宙最值得关注的风险是什么？
最大的风险是隐私监控。问题在于，出于商业要素的考量，收集用户隐私信息的监控正越来越普遍，但反监控的增长却并未与其平衡，这并不是一个完整闭环的正反馈。同时，大型企业所推动的用户隐私设置，鉴于其不平等的隐私监控属性（用户无法看到彼此的隐私信息，但平台型企业可以看到所有用户的隐私信息），其实也只是另一种形式的监控。为了使元宇宙良好运转，监控和反监控之间需要取得平衡，用户也应当拥有权利去反监控平台的监控。
05 商业角度元宇宙爆发的标志
元宇宙在商业上真正进入爆发期的标志是什么？已经或将在何时出现？
“伪元宇宙”已经被炒作得非常火爆，“真元宇宙”还在等待浮出水面。那一刻，将绚烂非凡。

01 What IS the metaverse?
What is your definition of the metaverse?
DEFINITION:
META FOUNDED IN 2013:
In 2013 we founded a company called Meta, based on my Metavision and Metaveillance concepts, to make "Extramissive spatial imaging digital eye glass" technology, invented by Gribetz and Mann, originally filed with the US Patent and Trademark office Jan 3, 2013, as US Patent and Trademark Office, Patent Application 61/748,468, Jan 3, 2013, which eventually led to our patent, US Patent 9,720,505, "Extramissive spatial imaging digital eye glass...", Gribetz; Meron (New York, NY), Mann; W. Steve G. (Toronto, CA) , filed January 3rd, 2014.
My general idea of Metaveillance and Metavision was in the spirit of sousveillant systems, which forms the basis for HI=Humanistic Intelligence: Mann, Steve. "Humanistic computing:" WearComp" as a new framework and application for intelligent signal processing." Proceedings of the IEEE 86.11 (1998): 2123-2151, online at: http://wearcam.org/hi.pdf
leading to a paper by Marvin Minsky, Ray Kurzweil, and myself (Steve Mann), Minsky, Marvin, Ray Kurzweil, and Steve Mann. "The society of intelligent veillance.“ 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS): Social Implications of Wearable Computing and Augmediated Reality in Everyday Life. IEEE, 2013, which is also online at: http://wearcam.org/sensularity.pdf
The best embodiment of the metaverse is through wearable AI as defined in "Wearable AI", authors=Mann, Steve and Li-Te Cheng and John Robinson and Kaoru Sumi and Toyoaki Nishida and Soichiro Matsushita and ?mer Faruk ?zer and Oˇguz ?zün and C. ?ncel Tüzel, and Volkan Atalay and A. Enis ?etin and Joshua Anhalt and Asim Smailagic and Daniel P. Siewiorek and Francine Gemperle and Daniel Salber and Sam Weber and Jim Beck and Jim Jennings and David A. Ross, Intelligent Systems, IEEE, volume 16, number 3, pages 1-53, May/June 2001
See http://wearcam.org/wearableai.pdf
See also the concept of Steveland in Canadian Patent 2357697 (CA2357697A1).
02 What IS NOT the metaverse?
Which concepts do you think are currently labeled as the metaverse but are not actually the metaverse, or are not the core elements of the metaverse?
The word "metaverse" has become over-used. I think that systems that lack sousveillance should not be considered to belong to the metaverse because they lack a closed-loop feedback that is a necessary element, i.e. take a look at the fractal nature of HI and Metavision/Metaveillance, Mann, Steve, Cayden Pierce, Aman Bhargava, Christopher Tong, Khantil Desai, and Kyle O'Shaughnessy. "Sensing of the Self, Society, and the Environment." In 2020 IEEE SENSORS, pp. 1-4. IEEE, 2020.
See http://wearcam.org/ieeesensors2020/IEEE_Sensors_Sensing_Self_Technology_Society_and_Environment/PID6605899.pdf
Clearly if there is no sousveillance there is no feedback loop and therefore no metaverse.
03 The CHALLENGE of Metaverse
What do you think is the biggest technical challenge in creating a true metaverse? When do you expect a breakthrough?
The biggest technical challenges are in the development of wearable AI technology, and in particular solving the collinearity problem as outlined in Chapter 3 of the textbook, Mann, Steve. Intelligent image processing. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001.
and the photoquantigraphic alignment outlined in Chapter 4, as well as keeping everything in the same orbit as in Chapter 6.
We expect the EyeTap criteria (Chapter 3) to come to breakthrough level around 2025, and the other two problems to be solved a little earlier.
04 The RISKS of Metaverse
From an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) perspective, what do you think is the most noteworthy risk in the metaverse?
The biggest risk is surveillance. The problem is that there are driving commercial and governance thrusts toward more surveillance without a balanced amount of sousveillance. This creates a broken feedback loop as per the fractal (self-similar) nature of the metaverse outlined in the 2020 IEEE Sensors paper referenced above.
The problem also is the nexus of Covernments (corporate governments) and Gorporations (Government corporations) pushing for more surveillance, working together for increased surveillance and increased privacy, which we have shown is itself another form of surveillance.
See "Privacy is Surveillance", https://medium.com/@mann_86448/privacy-is-surveillance-8e7478ac77aa
For the metaverse to function there needs to be a good amount of equiveillance (equilibrium and balance between surveillance and sousveillance).
05 The SIGN the metaverse exploding
What do you think is the sign that the metaverse is really facing an explosive growth in business? Has it already appeared, or when will it appear?
The fake metaverse has seen an explosion of hype, but the true (i.e. sousveillant or metaveillant) metaverse is just waiting to surface and when it does, it will be really amazing.
