Steve Mann
可穿戴計算之父
多倫多大學教授
Mann是多倫多大學正教授，IEEE擴展智能委員會創(chuàng)始成員。
Mann創(chuàng)立了麻省理工學院可穿戴計算項目，并在1999年發(fā)明、設計和制造了世界上第一個智能手表，該成果在2001年IEEE ISSCC上發(fā)表，并被評為 "可穿戴計算之父"。Mann同時也是HDR（高動態(tài)范圍）成像的發(fā)明者，該技術在超過30億部智能手機中使用。
Mann在童年時代就展現(xiàn)了非凡的科研能力，兒童時期的他就發(fā)明了SWIM（Sequential Wave Imprinting Machine），用于擴展現(xiàn)實的波浪計算。SWIM開創(chuàng)了水-人-計算機交互（WaterHCI）這一全新領域。他還發(fā)明了與SWIM配套的用于交互式海洋雷達的Chirplet transform，并在1992年發(fā)表。同時Mann也是世界上第一個水基樂器——水聽器的發(fā)明者。

01 元宇宙的定義是什么？
元宇宙是基于元感知的擴展現(xiàn)實（meta-sensory XR: eXtended Reality）。我認為元宇宙的最佳呈現(xiàn)需要通過可穿戴人工智能（Wearable AI）。
1974年，我發(fā)明了SWIM（連續(xù)波壓印機Sequential Wave Imprinting Machine），它是一種波計算系統(tǒng)。SWIM 讓人們不僅可以看到無線電波和聲波本身并與之交互，同時還能看到相關設備感知波的能力并與之交互。我把“感知傳感器（如雷達、聲納、麥克風、攝像頭）及其感知能力”定義為元視覺、元感知、元監(jiān)控、元成像、元測量等（Metavision、Meta-sensing、Metaveillance、Metaveillography and Metaveillogrammetry）。合在一起，這些概念定義了我認為的元宇宙。
2013年，基于我提出的Metavision 和Metaveillance 概念，我們成立了一家名為Meta的公司，開發(fā)“超視空間成像數字眼鏡（Extramissive spatial imaging digital eye glass）”技術和產品。我提出的Metavision 和Metaveillance 本質屬于“逆向監(jiān)控”系統(tǒng)（Sousveillant System），逆向監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)是人文智能（HI: Humanistic Intelligence）的基礎。了解人文智能可通過我的論文——《人文計算：“穿戴計算”作為智能信號處理的一個新框架和應用》（Humanistic computing: “WearComp” as a new framework and application for intelligent signal processing） 。
02 什么不是元宇宙？
現(xiàn)在有哪些元素被貼上了元宇宙標簽，但其實不是元宇宙，或者不是元宇宙的核心要素？
元宇宙這個詞已經被用濫了。我認為缺乏逆向監(jiān)控（sousveillance）的系統(tǒng)不應該被認為屬于元宇宙，因為它們缺乏元宇宙必需要素的閉環(huán)反饋。如果沒有逆向監(jiān)控，就沒有反饋回路，因此也就沒有元宇宙。具體可了解我關于人文智能（Humanistic Intelligence）和元視覺（Metavision）/元監(jiān)控（Metaveillance）分形屬性的文章——“感知自我、社會與環(huán)境/ Sensing of the Self, Society, and the Environment”。
03 技術角度元宇宙的挑戰(zhàn)
要實現(xiàn)真正意義上的元宇宙，技術上最大的挑戰(zhàn)是什么？預計何時會取得突破？
最大的技術挑戰(zhàn)在于可穿戴人工智能技術的發(fā)展，包括：共線性問題、光定量對齊問題、萬物同軌等。我們預計眼神操作問題將在2025年左右實現(xiàn)突破，其他兩個問題可能會更早解決。
04 ESG角度元宇宙的風險
從ESG角度：
? 環(huán)境Environmental
? 社會Social
? 治理Governance
您認為元宇宙最值得關注的風險是什么？
最大的風險是隱私監(jiān)控。問題在于，出于商業(yè)要素的考量，收集用戶隱私信息的監(jiān)控正越來越普遍，但反監(jiān)控的增長卻并未與其平衡，這并不是一個完整閉環(huán)的正反饋。同時，大型企業(yè)所推動的用戶隱私設置，鑒于其不平等的隱私監(jiān)控屬性（用戶無法看到彼此的隱私信息，但平臺型企業(yè)可以看到所有用戶的隱私信息），其實也只是另一種形式的監(jiān)控。為了使元宇宙良好運轉，監(jiān)控和反監(jiān)控之間需要取得平衡，用戶也應當擁有權利去反監(jiān)控平臺的監(jiān)控。
05 商業(yè)角度元宇宙爆發(fā)的標志
元宇宙在商業(yè)上真正進入爆發(fā)期的標志是什么？已經或將在何時出現(xiàn)？
“偽元宇宙”已經被炒作得非?；鸨罢嬖钪妗边€在等待浮出水面。那一刻，將絢爛非凡。

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.
