Dr. Shacham is Vice President, Head of Custom Compute Platforms, at Meta, Reality Labs. Shacham constantly seeks to redefine what is possible with silicon, and in turn, how humans and computers interact. His pursuit is co-designing hardware-software systems to give the world seamlessly blended virtual and real experiences.

Before Meta, Shacham worked for Google leading Silicon Design and Implementation for Consumer Hardware. Shacham initiated and led Google’s Pixel Visual Core & Pixel Neural core, from idea to deployment on all Pixel Phones. Shacham also led some generations of Titan security chip, the early phases of the Pixel 6 Tensor Chip, and more.

Shacham joined Google as part of Google’s acquisition of Chip Genesis--a company he co-founded as a spin-out of the research he led at Stanford. Before Stanford Shacham worked for IBM R&D labs in Israel. Shacham also served in an elite Israeli Navy Unit.

Ofer Shacham holds a BSc degree from Tel Aviv University, and MSc and PhD degrees from Stanford University where he also served as academic staff. Areas of interest are research, development and productization of outstanding research where hardware and software meet under strict power, form factor, and performance requirements.

The Metaverse is the next evolution in social technologies and the successor to the mobile internet. In this talk we explore the Metaverse concept. What does the Metaverse mean for users? How does it build value for communities? What social benefits does it provide for people, and how does it help them defy time and distance to connect with loved ones? How does it enable people to experience life in new ways? The exploration takes us deep into devices that are Metaverse gateways delivering the Metaverse via Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, and Augmented Reality. We explore how VR, MR, and AR experiences differ and how they combine to create a grander Metaverse that expands and extends reality. We will zoom in on technology enablers in Computer Vision, Graphics, and Machine Learning. We will explore a new EMG user input concept, next generation near-eye display technologies, and packaging approaches that enable socially acceptable all day wearability. These technologies will transform the Metaverse vision into reality and will usher in a new class of low-friction computers with novel human-computer interaction. Building these device platforms at scale is challenging us like never before, and is fueling the next two decades of semiconductor innovation.

歡迎於2022年10月19日下午參加TSIA年會及一年一度大論壇，不論您是親臨現場或是在聯網上，請想像「與我及業界翹楚之各與談者」在為時100分鐘之論壇登上以半導體與毫奈米電子系統新建設之虛擬實境「類太空飛船」翱翔到渾元宇宙中逛大街去！

其實人類自有文明以來，就不曾停過探索宇宙與人生的互動，直到21世紀終於喊出了「建設Metaverse元宇宙產業」，人類真不想再等了，立志啟動邁入「虛實共生創造經濟更發達之文明新紀元」征程！這不是癡人說夢，而是努力聚積了萬年之智慧與知識自認準備好有建設工具，如物理、數學、經濟各種基礎，衍生出半導體、奈米微電子系統、AI、大數據、區塊鍵、生醫、自駕車、無人機、機器人等巨磅科技且加乘人文快速成長，已進入了必然而不意外之蓬勃發展。

前年我登記了「6dMVerse」Logo：前三元XYZ是我們可以瞭解的「空間」、第四元是「時間」、第五元是「生命與能量」、第六元我想定義為「靈命與情感」；雖然人類永遠不可能取代上帝創造宇宙六元，但是進入「元宇宙技術與生活」將可以補捉且補強人類終於有機會能發展出觸摸宇宙六元，進入虛實情境，並在有限生命中掌握更好的生活品質與希望，能在身心靈各自創造渾沌無境之滿足！

也許在唐朝詩人李白，其仙才曠達，物我之間早已體會了元宇宙，君不聞：「花間一壺酒，獨酌無相親。舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。月既不解飲，影徒隨我身。暫伴月將影，行樂須及春。我歌月徘徊，我舞影零亂。醒時同交歡，醉後各分散。永結無情遊，相期邈雲漢。」想來李白早已享受了天上人間而獨醒於渾元宇宙中了！

在此，渾元宇宙論壇中您將聽到諸位論壇佳賓，各個都是引領世界先進技術與產業的領導人物，屆時將吸收他們如何思維及如何準備邁入渾元宇宙的征程，並與此次參與太空飛船的各位戰士們分享他們獨到的見解，並聆聽他們回答各位的提問，機會難得，Let’s go！

With remarkable advancement in both high-performance and energy efficient computing, now it has become feasible where we could combine the virtual and real worlds together through 3D based computation in real time. A pair of portable AR/VR glasses has been dubbed as the next “essential device,” just like smartphone today, which could revolutionize the use of mobile applications in the future. In this panel presentation, I would like to examine the gaps today we have from the technology perspectives and discuss future technology directions, including compute, connectivity, display, and sensing, which will be key to make the metaverse a reality in the future.

Metaverse seems to be the hottest term in tech sector this past year. A couple of tech firms saw massive valuation increase right after the announcement of their plan for Metaverse at the beginning of 2021. A few months later tech giants like Microsoft and nVidia also announced their ambitions in the Metaverse. At the end of Oct Facebook showed their determination to bet the company’s future on the Metaverse by changing company name to Meta. The term Metaverse seems new but actually it is not a new concept. The term first appeared in Neal Stephenson’s novel Snow Crash published in 1992. In the novel people use digital avatars to explore the virtual world, often as a way of escaping a dystopian reality.

Mobile communication has evolved from 2G to 5G over the past 20 years. The way people communicate has gone through a few stages, moving from sending text to photo sharing and then to video streaming. Technology transformation enables new experience and changes human life. Some may say a real 5G killer application is yet to come. However, the trend is obvious that we are moving toward a more immersive and interactive world. The way people digest content will longer be just watch, listen, or read. People will get into the content itself to experience it. That experience itself is the essence of Metaverse.

HTC started the development of Metaverse related technology and ecosystem since 2015. From the beginning, our VIVE Reality vision has been to merge technology with humanity to unleash people’s imagination. In this year’s TSIA annual convention, we will introduce the ecosystem we have been cultivating with global partners and share real-life applications across a few key industries. We will also share how we see the market.

元宇宙(metaverse)是近來大家津津樂道的一個題目，它的定義以及可能的應用很多元，看法因人而異。但是不論是什麼定義或應用，好的使用者體驗都是成功的關鍵，而人與元宇宙之間透過各種介面的溝通是否快速、流暢、清楚、和準確又是提供好的使用者體驗的關鍵。這種人與數位世界之間的溝通需求為傳統的多媒體、繪圖和通訊等技術帶來了新的挑戰，需要更多的計算力、更短的時延、與更低的功耗來實踐，這將推動半導體和系統設計技術持續進步，也將為產業帶來新的成長機會。

“Metaverse Metamorphosis"

In this speech, I’ll clarify some common misunderstandings of the Metaverse and discuss the multi-phased journey of transformation from today's internet walled-gardens to the long-term interoperable 3D open-worlds coming in the next decade. I’ll also cover the expected impact on the world from this disruptive technology.
