 ieee standards metaverse webinar seriesIEEE Metaverse Congress

The Metaverse is the latest futuristic technology trend capturing public attention. It has been 30 years since the term "metaverse" was coined by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash, and 48 years since Steve Mann invented, and coined the term, "metavision" as extended reality using wearable computing. Metaverse may refer to a kind of experiences in which the outside world is perceived by the users (human or non-human) as being a universe that is actually built upon digital technologies as a different universe ("Virtual Reality"), a digital extension of our current universe ("Augmented Reality" or "Mixed Reality"), or a digital counterpart of our current universe ("Digital Twin"). Named after the universe, a metaverse shall be persistent, and should be massive, comprehensive, immersive, and self-consistent. Described with "meta", a metaverse should be ultra-realistic, accessible, pervasive, and may be decentralized. In a narrow sense, metaverse may be simply defined as Persistent Virtual Reality (PVR). In a broad sense, metaverse is the advanced stage and long-term vision of Digital Transformation.

 Today, the Metaverse is like a magic word that inspires infinite imaginations of countless people from various professions and backgrounds. There are different metaverses in the eyes of different people, but the biggest consensus on the Metaverse so far is that it will have a profound impact on our daily work, play, and life, across all industries and sectors, reshaping the economy and society for all humankind.

AgeTek Innovation: Bringing Robots Home to Support the Aging, Healthy, and Assisted Living

The aging population is growing. It is estimated that by the year 2050, people age 65+ globally will reach 1.5 billion (WHO). Not all aging individuals live in institutional settings, have family caregivers, and/or require assisted living. Who or what will be able to fill the gap in a way that provides quality support for their needs with dignity, privacy, and security?

This four-part webinar mini-series will bring global multi-disciplinary experts to discuss the pragmatic applications of using robotic caregivers and companions to support this aging population. The technology is there and the need is immediate, yet the challenges continue to be unaddressed. On this blank canvas of opportunity, where can open and consensus-built technical and data standards, enhanced policy guidance, and overall education and awareness help drive trust in the adoption of our new robotic caregivers and supporters?

  • On-Demand: The Robotic Assistant for the Aging: The Unbalanced Struggle between Benefits and Challenges
  • 14 September 2022: Clinical Support Robots for the Aging: The Human Design Factors, Utility, and Functionality
  • 30 November 2022: All Considerations In: Enabling Robotics to Support the Aging with Dignity, Privacy and Security
    18 January 2022: Is it Unanimous? Establishing Trust Across the Board in Robotics to Support the Aging
