	Steve Mann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steve Mann (born 1962) is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto.
		Mann holds degrees from MIT (PhD in Media Arts and Sciences '97) and McMaster University, where he was also inducted into the McMaster University Alumni Hall of Fame, Alumni Gallery, 2004, in recognition of his career as an inventor and teacher.
		At the time, Mann's lawyer reportedly estimated the value of the lost equipment at $56,800 [4], and Mann has claimed that doctors advised him that the separation from his implants (some of which he had lived with for many years) could lead to brain damage.

	SPACE.com -- Professor Experiments With Life As Cyborg
		Mann, a 41-year-old engineering professor at the University of Toronto, spends hours every day viewing the world through that little monitor in front of his eye -- so much so that going without the apparatus often leaves him feeling nauseous, unsteady, naked.
		Mann manipulates the computer through a handheld key device he invented, though he has experimented with putting electrodes on his skin and trying to control the cursor with brain waves.
		Steve Mann is not alone in dreaming of enhancing human capabilities with computer intelligence.

	Steve Mann - Prior Art: Art of Record for Personal Safety (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Mann applies the same rationalizations to his own image-capture practices, asserting that his camera is necessary for personal security purposes.
		Not only does Mann's approach insist on a recognition of the social context of technology (and specifically the role of choice and intention in its use), his embrace of Heisenberg's insight into the influence of measurement (mediation) on outcomes also informs his inventions and emphasizes their status as social machines.
		In fact, Mann's architectural turn signals a shift of attention: from acting as the model of possible resistance to the widespread invasion of privacy, to a role of model-maker.

		Mann, a 41-year-old engineering professor at the University of Toronto, spends hours every day viewing the world through that little monitor in front of his eye — so much so that going without the apparatus often leaves him feeling nauseous, unsteady, naked.
		For example, Mann and his graduate students have developed software that can transform billboards or other rectangular shapes in the physical world — when viewed through the lens of a wearable computer — into virtual boxes for reading e-mail and other messages.
		Mann realizes that for mass appeal, wearable computing will have to be small — perhaps incorporated into contact lenses.

		Although "Jelly Roll" (also a pastry delicacy) usually refers to women in blues terminology, Steve jokingly implies that he does not wish to give the impression, as Bessie Smith does in the original recording, that his Jelly Roll is unavailable.
		Although Steve may not have owned a real elephant, he somehow knows that policemen often come in pairs, and do not play music in their cars.

		Mann is also fascinated by the vast possibilities presented by the wearable computer.
		WearComp, as Mann,, a professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, calls the complex interfacing between clothing, sensory extensions and connections to the world wide web, is about the limit between the body, the mind and the world.
		Indeed, what Mann calls “the right to think” is directly equivalent to what the philosophers of the Enlightenment called “tolerance” and the right to worship whosoever in the privacy of one’s mind.

		As one of Canada's leading innovators and proliferate inventors (holder of 50 patents), Dr. Steve Mann is uniquely posed to survey and study the technologies that exploit anonymity.
		He was the first to conceive of the idea, as well as to implement, a voice activated wearable multimedia computer more than 20 years ago.
		Mann's wearable computing has profound implications for personal privacy, since it allows the wearer to watch, record and perhaps broadcast his/her surroundings.
