Steve Mann. Steven Mann (born 1962) is a researcher and inventor best known for his work on computational photography, particularly wearable computing and high dynamic range imaging. Early life and education[edit] He is also General Chair of the IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society, Associate Editor of IEEE Technology and Society, is a licensed Professional Engineer, and Senior Member of the IEEE.[6] Career[edit] Mann is a tenured professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with cross-appointments to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and Faculty of Forestry, at the University of Toronto, and is a Professional Engineer licensed through Professional Engineers Ontario.
He is also General Chair of the IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society and Associate Editor of IEEE Technology and Society.[6] Ideas and inventions[edit] Many of Mann's inventions pertain to the field of computational photography. Anonequity project[edit] Media coverage[edit] Liquiface/ Steve Mann A liquid user interface is presented for applications such as immersive multimedia. In one version, one or more sprays or jets create an immersive multimedia environment in which a participant bather can interact within the immersive multimedia environment by blocking, partially blocking, diverting, or otherwise engaging with the spray, to create computational input, in environments such as showers, baths, hot tubs, waterplay areas, gardens, and the like.
In some versions, the spraying is computationally controlled, so that the spray creates a tactile user-interface for the control of such devices as new musical instruments. These may be installed in public fountains to result in a fluid user interface to music by playing in the fountains. The "liquiface" may also be used in a setting like a karaoke bar, in which participants perform music by playing in a fountain while they sing.
