Meta, 1974 to present

Mann also created the world's first photo-sharing system on the world-wide-web in 1993, which later grew to about 6 million uses with the help of Raymond Lo.

In 2011 Professor Mann and his student, Raymond Lo, created the world's first Meta augmented reality eyeglass in Toronto, Ontario, Canada:

and shortly afterwards in 2012, Meta was founded by Ben Sand, Meron Gribetz, Steve Mann, and Raymond Lo, based on the technology of Gribetz and Mann (and later Lo)...

The Meta logo, hand-drawn in light, is based on a Mann's design, using his abakography = computational lightpainting (link) technique:

Here's Steve Mann's office at Meta headquarters in Silicon Valley, California:.

Some of these images were made as a collaboration between Steve Mann and Reid Godshaw.
