Event Description

This month's meeting features SocialSense

The UH Business IP Forum is intended as an opportunity for University of Hawaii researchers to present their latest ideas to the local business community. University of Hawaii researchers regularly generate intellectual property in the form of patents. The University of Hawaii can provide exclusive rights to these patents, licensing them to individual business or consortia for the purpose of generating revenue. In the first instance the forum will start with presentations from UH researchers from the Ubiquitous Wireless Computing research group from the department of Information and Computer Sciences. The presentations will generally be short in order to allow plenty of time for discussion. As well as getting feedback on the potential licensability of existing patents, UH researchers will be looking for input from the business community on what technologies and techniques could be developed for the mutual benefit of both academia and business.

The UH Business IP Forum is lead by Sam Joseph. Sam is the project lead for the Ubiquitous and Wireless Computing project in the Laboratory for Interactive Learning Technologies in the University of Hawaii Department of Information and Computer Sciences. He has brought in over $3,000,000 in industry grants over the last year and now runs a team of 10 researchers developing new IP in the fields of Ubiquitous and Wireless Computing.

Sam's academic qualifications include a B.Sc. (Hons) in astrophysics from the University of Leicester, UK, a M.Sc. in cognitive science and natural language and a Ph.D. in neural networks from the University of Edinburgh, UK. He was also recipient of the Raymond-Hide prize for Astrophysics and a Toshiba Fellowship.

Sam spent six years in Japan, first working on intelligent agents at the Toshiba Research & Development Center, then freelancing for startup companies, and finally on peer-to-peer systems at the University of Tokyo.

Update from Sam re: Virtual Roommates:

We propose a new concept of supporting telepresence between remote users. Today, remote users can communicate with each other in a variety of ways. Some of these methods offer effects that provide a feeling of immersion, creating an illusion that the participants are in the same location. However, these solutions are limited in flexibility and mobility. In most cases, you are required to use the same media, or cannot move too far from a fixed location, or both. Virtual roommates intends to provide a new means of remote communication by allowing users the freedom to move around, and have their positions displayed to any remote participant in the remote user's environment. It also opens the opportunity for users to participate via different forms of media, whether fully immersed in a virtual world, or using augmented reality devices in their living room. The effect of shared presence is continuous, affording users the ability to be completely mobile, and connect to other users far away, whether in the real or virtual world.
