What Can this Advanced Prototype Mean for the different sectors that you are assessing?
Here's a prototype of flexible display that Sony demonstrated recently. What could such curly electronic paper do for the patterns of interactions in the IT-enabled world in the coming decade? How should Sony take this from a cool technology to lead in the business applications of this technology?
This is amazing! I read about this a year ago and, unfortunately I couldn't locate the article, but one way Sony might implement this technology is with clothing. Imagine fabric that can change patterns and prints instantly by simply downloading the desired design online. With this technology coupled with antibacterial fabric, which already exists, people may only need one piece of clothing and still wear something new everyday.
