Crazy idea... 35 years ago...
Now a $241 billion industry!...
Nicholas Negroponte, Director of MIT Media Lab:

Early 1990s TV broadcast; Founding of MIT Wearable Computing Project
Wearable Computing with Wearable Cameras
Crazy idea... 35 years ago;

"Steve Mann is the perfect example of someone deemed to be on the lunatic fringe, but who persisted in his vision and ended up founding a new discipline."

--Nicholas Negroponte, Bangor Daily News - Sep 26, 1997.

PHENOMENAugmented Reality (ΦAR)

Visualizing audio using abakography

Sensing Sensing using feedback; Steve Mann, 1985

Abakographic visualization of radio waves (standing waves, RADAR)

Neckworn camera with fisheye lens and sensors:


Gesture recognition, autogesture, augmediated reality
Priveillance™: Privacy and Veillance (Sur AND Sousveillance)


Surveillance is the veillance of hypocrisy.

Sousveillance (the opposite of surveillance) is the veillance of ???


The opposite of hypocrisy is integrity.
[Lucaites, Condit, and Caudill, 1999, p92]
In this sense, surveillance often lacks integrity, and this lack of integrity invites corruption.

Centralized data storage leads to corruption; Compare with Yatim
