Dear All,
IEEE TCSN is pleased to invite you for the invited talk on "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Metaverse" by Prof. Pan Hui on Nov. 29th 2022 from 10:00 AM Hong Kong Time (Nov. 28th 9pm EST).
This talk is an endeavor of IEEE TCSN focusing on enhancing the awareness of trending topics to the community.
Title: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Metaverse
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/)
Zoom link: https://rebrand.ly/HitchhikerGuideToMetaverse
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 and what is virtual. We will live and interact with the virtual objects that are blended into our environments with advanced holographic technology or with high-quality head-mounted displays and lose the virtuality boundary. We call such a new reality Surreality. Our vision of “metaverse” is a multi-world. There are multiple virtual worlds developed by different technology companies and there is also the Surreality where real and virtual merged. While the metaverse may seem futuristic, catalysed by emerging technologies such as Extended Reality, 5G, and Artificial Intelligence, the digital “big bang” of our cyberspace is not far away. This talk aims to offer a comprehensive framework that examines the latest metaverse development under the dimensions of state-of-the-art technologies and metaverse ecosystems, illustrates the possibility of the digital “big bang”, and proposes a concrete research agenda for the development of the metaverse.
Speaker Bio:
Pan Hui is a Chair Professor of Computational Media and Arts and Director of the Center for Metaverse and Computational Creativity at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), and a Chair Professor of Emerging Interdisciplinary Areas at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Congratulation for discovering google groups and then misuse it like a
spammer from the "communist" mainland.
This usergroup is about discussions related to NFS, if you not clear
what it is about, then please consult the WIKI page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System
and there is a version in traditional Chinese as used in Hong Kong (a
colony of PRC):
