Who is the most aware person in the field?..........

weird question because of the 10000 ramifications it might have.. I thing that is in the area of human simulation and gesture recognition... make the computer more "human" is the next step and is what most of the focus is on rright now. but that is only one area there are thousands. I'm a researcher on the field and that is why i think that you question have 10000 answers too
