Abstract

This paper is going to discuss, what will be called, ‘The Internet of Bodies’. Our physical and virtual worlds are blending and shifting our understanding of three key areas: (1) our identities are diversifying, as they become hyper-enhanced and multi-sensory; (2) our collaborations are co-created, immersive and connected; (3) our innovations are diverse and inclusive. It is proposed that our bodies have finally become the interface.
 
Key words: liveness, telepresence, virtual bodies, virtual presence, personal data, body data, biosignals, biometrics, digital intimacy, virtual physical blending, connected bodies, identity, behavioral economics, prediction economy, collective, immersion experiences, the Internet of Bodies
