That is a really good question. Thank you. I came all the way to Hawaii to ask it. Yes, so definitely like every researcher, you like to see more impactable work. It's more than just papers. It's about work that could generate more impact within the society. Not only benefit industry, I mean, but improve other people's lives. That would be great! So for us, for example, for computer vision, especially the 3D computer vision, the closest collaborative application field is robotics. I have some idea in my mind for me. People become older in our society, so how to make people's life easier. Techniques like robots to help people's life. I can see there are now many of this kind of startups, especially in China. I was trying to look at how they help the robot to have the movements of a human. And also, now there are some cooking robots, those things called home service robots. That will be great! So I hope that the techniques that we actually developed, in the future will generate that impact or benefit. So when you and I will be old, there will be some robots to take care of us. Tell me, I have one last question for you. It's about your motivation. What keeps your passion alive after many years in computer vision? I think it's curiosity. I like to know things that I don't know! I like trying to know how things will work and how we can create something that is much better. That is probably a motive for me, very simple, yes. That's a lovely question! Be curious! I have been in this field for a really long time. I think the computer vision community, from my point of view, is quite healthy. I am area chair at CVPR and I can see people who are quite senior, and they are still reviewing papers, attending conferences, and mentoring young researchers. I think that is really great! So we are doing a great work. You can see the techniques develop so fast. This is what I like. People are still doing exciting things! 27 DAILY ICCV Thursday Miaomiao Liu
