Mersivity 2023 Symposium Makes Waves Regarding Toronto's Most Controversial Beach

TORONTO - Aug. 9, 2023 - PRLog -- ONTARIO PLACE, WEST ISLAND - The IEEE / WaterHCI / Mersivity 2023 Symposium is thrilled to announce its upcoming Symposium taking place Tuesday, August 15th, at Michael Hough Beach, Ontario Place, West Island. The symposium will commence at 10 am and promises to be a groundbreaking gathering of industry leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts advancing technology for humanity and the environment. The Symposium's location at Michael Hough Beach emphasizes the need to take responsibility for our most precious resource, water. This beach is at the center of a public/private battle over access to clean water, a critical issue that policy analyst and mayoral candidate Chloe Brown will be on hand to address. Learn more about the ongoing efforts to preserve clean water access at Swimop (http://www.swimop.com/), and join the fight to save the beach at Save the Beach (http://www.savethebeach.ca/).

Television and radio reporters can expect great audiovisuals from demos of cutting-edge technologies designed to unleash the untapped potential of a city that host Steve Mann calls "the water capital of the world," including Water-Human-Computer Interface goggles that help us connect to nature (e.g. underwater) rather than isolate us from nature, a novel computer interface for walking on water, and the awe-inspiring hydraulophone, the world's first underwater musical instrument.

Mann is widely regarded as the father of wearable computing, inventor of HDR, co-inventor of XR (eXtended Reality), and co-founder of InteraXon, makers of the Muse brain-sensing headband, and the event is set to be a landmark in the field of water-human computer interaction. It is co-hosted by Yu Yuan, President of the IEEE Standards Association.

The symposium will feature a diverse and esteemed lineup of speakers and guests setting future standards at the nexus of nature, technology, and humanity, aiming to foster collaboration, innovation, and discussion around water-human computer interaction, wearable technology, and sustainable water practices, proposing U.OP = University of Ontario Place as the world's high-tech epicenter for WaterHCI (https://waterhci.com) research.
