Yu Yuan (President, IEEE Standars Association) and Steve Mann to present Mersivity at IEEE Sections Congress in Ottawa this weekend, and then in Toronto on Tues. Aug 15th.
Mersivity, also known as Physical Metaverse or eXtended metaVerse (XV), or Humanistic Intelligence (HI) looks at technology as a boundary or border between humans (the "Invironment") and our surroundings (the "Environment").
This boundary is called the "Vironment".
Examples of vironments include vessels, vehicles, clothes, and wearable computers.
Vironments mediate and extend our perception of our surroundings.
Aries Ma will (pictured in the Mersivity ball) head to Ottawa tomorrow to coordinate the presentation and will return Sunday afternoon to Toronto in preparation for Mersivity-2023 in Toronto.
