  1. Are you or have you been an MPEG member?
    Yes
  2. What do you think makes MPEG special?
    MPEG has ensured that video was and continues to be the prima donna of innovations. For example, this year’s CES (2019) noted six trends that would change the world: 5G, AI, 8K, AR, L3 SelfDriving, Resilient Technologies. Because of MPEG, video is taking center stage in all these six.
  3. What do you think is the most important MPEG impact?
    Proved to the world that with strong leadership, it is possible to deliver a cutting-edge standard that looks at both the research and implementation.
  4. Do you think MPEG is a good conduit for research?
    A great idea with no action is as good as an artist’s daydream. With MPEG, great research ideas have had a place to take actions.
  5. Can you comment on your MPEG experience?
    I was a member at MPEG and a member at other standardization committees. MPEG was all about changing the world for better with best technology. The other committees, like many others, were more-or-less about who’s patents could get into the standard. I enjoyed much more participating in MPEG.
  6. Are you satisfied with MPEG standards?
  7. Do you think MPEG standards are the right choice?
    MPEG standards continues to demonstrate how a global industry standardization should be operated to be meaningful.
  8. What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
    MPEG should and can assert itself and contribute even more to all six trends that are mentioned above.
