אם זה יותר מדי תגידו לי
אני לא מהפורום ואני לא יודעת מה מותר ומה אסור... וחשוב לי לא להבין רק חצאי מילים מהקטע הזה אז אם מישהו מרגיש שהוא מוכן לעזור אשמח עדי Who is Cyberman? BIOGRAPHY: Steve Mann, inventor of WearComp (wearable computer) and WearCam (eyetap camera and reality mediator), is currently a faculty member at University of Toronto, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Mann has been working on his WearComp invention for more than 20 years, dating back to his high school days in the 1970s. He brought his inventions and ideas to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1991, and is considered to have brought the seed that later become the MIT Wearable Computing Project. He also built the world´s first covert fully functional WearComp with display and camera concealed in ordinary eyeglasses in 1995, for the creation of his award winning documentary ShootingBack. He received his PhD degree from MIT in 1997 in the new field he had initiated. He is also inventor of the chirplet transform, a new mathematical framework for signal processing. Mann was both the founder and the Publications Chair of the first IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computing (ISWC97). He also chaired the first Special Issue on Wearable Computing in Personal Technologies Journal, and has given numerous Keynote Addresses on the subject, including the Keynote at the first International Conference on Wearable Computing , the Keynote at the Virtual Reality conference, and the Keynote at the McLuhan Conference on Culture and Technology, on the subject of Privacy issues and Wearable Computers. Steve´s parents - his mother and father talk about how they were frequently covertly recorded by Steve and his brother during childhood. Steve´s wife - Steve talks about his wife Betty, who has also been a "cyborg" for over 15 years. "I wanted to be a telephone repairman" - Steve discusses his childhood dream.

Historical Overview/Context There is so much material, in a complicated web of interconnected links, that the only way to really organize it seems to be chronologically Thus I´ll start with a short chronology from my early visions and embodiments of WearComp (wearable computer) and WearCam (wearable camera) in the 1970s to where we are today. Looking 20 years back (in Canada in the 1970s) WearComp (visual output, pushbutton inputs) invented in Canada in the 1970s (Mann) for photographic applications Application: collaborative `lightspace´ Founding of a genre of photography called `dusting´. WearComp invented for applications in the `dusting/lightspace´ genre. Scientific/mathematical theory developed for this new genre. Examples of images captured and rendered in this genre Dusting was the motivation/origin of Personal Imaging; by late 1970s, WearComp invention equipped with full-duplex wireless capabilities, principles for a community of `photoborgs´ set forth, connectivity... Looking 10 years back (in Canada in the 1980s)
