TRIZ INDIA FORUM

So it is there Now! The TRIZ INDIA FORUM has been launched on 1st November 2007. How did it happen? Prakasan created the BLOG and it is now available for all of us to discuss TRIZ and Innovation from and for India. Why India? Why TRIZ only for Innovation?

India because I believe India is the world's Innovation Tipping Point now. It is going to create multiple impacts in a decade or so and the Globe will looking at the Innovation Leadership from India, if it is not already looking at it. I remember someone wrote in 1980's, the world jungle will not be same if The Dragon and The Elephant get out of their slumber. Well last decade has seen both China and India reaching the centre stage for the world in multiple respects.

The simple reason why India works is the inherent complexity of India to absorb and respond to more complexity that the world is creating. India thrives in complexity and thats a fantastic situation to be in.

However, India also has problems of being a constrained by many ills. The solutions lies in exploring Innovation systematically. It will only happen through a country wide initiative to take us to the stage where we define the new world that we want to inhabit.

We believe that Theory of Inventive Problem Solving - the TRIZ or at least TRIZ Thinking is the vehicle to catapult India into future.

We Invite all readers to join in this journey @ TRIZ INDIA FORUM.

Modelless fashion show - Holographic images

There are two parts to the upcoming modelless fashionshow as described in businessweek. First is the absence of models - yet humanless images carry the eerily real clothes in front of live audience. Second message is that it is not about the models per se but the clothes they are displaying - which for me is a new message - as so far the glimpses of fashion shows that I have been privileged to see - I felt its a model show - models happen to use some piece of processed papyrus to show themselves to the audience. At least people like me will know that the show is actually about clothes Now.

Implication of the holgraphic projection in my opinion are - Holographic conferencing - Holoferencing and peopleless product experience to potential customers. The car that you want to buy will start and run in front of you in your home for you to savour how does it really look like. The experience in your drawing room will be real - eerily real.

I am sure the dating and relationship site owners will be first to embrace these technologies and quickly, before other less exciting businesses understand the value and design applications.

Incidently this is the 100th post of the year 2007. Which is amazing, this year has made me realize the power and excitement of blogging. I realize that I enjoy this!
