As we call for nominations for the 2019 class of young innovators, let us celebrate innovation and entrepreneurship with an inspiring talk by visionary mixed reality pioneer and Innovators Under 35 Asia Pacific judge, Prof Adrian David Cheok.

Everysense Everywhere Human Communication - This talk outlines new facilities that are arising in the hyperconnected internet era within human media spaces. This allows new embodied interaction between humans, species, and computation both socially and physically, with the aim of novel interactive communication and entertainment. Humans can develop new types of communication environments using all the senses, including touch, taste, and smell, which can increase support for multi-person multi-modal interaction and remote presence. In this talk, we present an alternative ubiquitous computing environment and space based on an integrated design of real and virtual worlds. We discuss some different research prototype systems for interactive communication, culture, and play.
