This talk is an endeavor of IEEE TCSN focusing on enhancing the awareness o= f trending topics to the community.=20 =20 Title: The Hitchhiker=E2=80=99s Guide to the Metaverse =20 Speaker: Prof. Pan Hui Date: 29 November 2022 (Tuesday) Time: 10:00 AM HKT (UTC+08:00) (Check your local time here: https://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/) =20 Zoom link:=20 https://rebrand.ly/HitchhikerGuideToMetaverse =20 Abstract: We envision in the future the virtual world will mix and co-exist with the = physical world in such an immersive way that we cannot tell what is real an= d what is virtual. We will live and interact with the virtual objects that = are blended into our environments with advanced holographic technology or w= ith high-quality head-mounted displays and lose the virtuality boundary. We= call such a new reality Surreality. Our vision of =E2=80=9Cmetaverse=E2=80= =9D is a multi-world. There are multiple virtual worlds developed by differ= ent technology companies and there is also the Surreality where real and vi= rtual merged. While the metaverse may seem futuristic, catalysed by emergin= g technologies such as Extended Reality, 5G, and Artificial Intelligence, t= he digital =E2=80=9Cbig bang=E2=80=9D of our cyberspace is not far away. Th= is talk aims to offer a comprehensive framework that examines the latest me= taverse development under the dimensions of state-of-the-art technologies a= nd metaverse ecosystems, illustrates the possibility of the digital =E2=80= =9Cbig bang=E2=80=9D, and proposes a concrete research agenda for the devel= opment of the metaverse. =20 Speaker Bio:=20 Pan Hui is a Chair Professor of Computational Media and Arts and Director o= f the Center for Metaverse and Computational Creativity at the Hong Kong Un= iversity of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), and a Chair Professor of Em= erging Interdisciplinary Areas at the Hong Kong University of Science and T= echnology. He is also the Nokia Chair in Data Science at the University of = Helsinki. He received his PhD from the Computer Laboratory at University of= Cambridge, and both his Bachelor and MPhil degrees from the University of = Hong Kong. He was an adjunct Professor of social computing and networking a= t Aalto University, Finland, and a Distinguished Scientist at the Deutsche = Telekom Laboratories (T-labs), Germany. His industrial profile also include= s his research at Intel Research Cambridge, UK and Thomson Research Paris, = France. Pan Hui is an expert in Augmented Reality and Mobile Computing, wit= h more than 400 research papers, 30 patents, and over 24,000 citations. He = is an International Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a member of= Academia Europaea, an IEEE Fellow, and an ACM Distinguished Scientist. We look forward to your participation.
