It includes close collaborators from many other public and private research and development centers and is a partnership among cryptographers, physicians, privacy experts, scientists and engineers. PACT is a collaboration led by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), MIT Internet Policy Research Initiative, Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Global Health and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. A professor of computer engineering, he is also credited with inventing modern High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging methods, natural user interfaces, ‘sousveillance,’ and many more techniques that seem to have come from the future. Steve Mann is often referred to as “the father of wearable computing,” in recognition of his invention of the first wearable general-purpose computer in 1981. I will deliver the Keynote using the BlueberryX brain-and-world-sensing eyeglass, thus allowing you to see inside my mind while I present these important ideas.

We must think in not just a human-centered framework but a mind-centered framework. Most importantly, Today's consumer technologies are machines of surveillance that must be balanced with inverse surveillance ("sousveillance") to form a complete feedback loop (rightmost in the figure). Whereas the human mind and body are interconnected through efferent and afferent nerves, we're similarly connected to our technologies by their sensors and our senses. Please refer to the accompanying figure and note the fractal (self-similar) nature of Mind-Body interaction which mimics Human-Machine interaction. Humanistic Intelligence (HI) defines Smart Cities, Internet of *, VR AR and XR, Automotive, Sensors and Actuators, Consumer Health Technology, Humachine Interaction, AI, and Consumer Technology for Pandemics, in a way that puts the human mind at the epicenter of it all. We are preparing a galore of surprises, which we will gradually reveal as the date draws closer, so bookmark this page and visit often.Įagerly waiting to see you again or meet you for the first time. The conference will continue tradition of the world’s leading experts giving keynote speeches, high quality tutorials, panel discussions, workshops, tutorials, and products and prototype demonstration, social events, and fun. This year again the IEEE CE Society, soon to be Consumer Technologies Society, is joining forces with other IEEE societies, VDE, and IFA to broaden and strengthen the CT subjects and scope of the conference. We invite you to be a part of this diverse community, to be at the source of future trends and to brainstorm, network, and help visions hit the road to reality! In addition, it provides an excellent forum for the researchers, developers, and service providers to share their ideas, designs and experiences in such a proper environment as the IFA ( ).Īnd as the forum that follows and brings changes, we have to announce a new change in the name – “electronics” becomes “technologies”. The conference brings together researchers and engineers from industry, research centres, and academia to exchange information and results of recent work on systems, circuits, technologies, processes, and applications. The Place Where Visions Start, the Place Where Visions Materialize! ICCE-Berlin is part of the IFA fair, the leading consumer trade show. We cordially invite You for the 11th time to be part of the International Conference of Consumer Technology in Berlin (“ICCE-Berlin”).
