Electronics industry - scope - a logical future development Data capture Data presentation Sight Hearing Feeling Taste Smell 6th Sense Picture Sound Pressure. ”Experience” Scent ESP? Om-form-ning til bits Present IT systems ” Signal from Nature” Signal to user Transformation -Digital Transformation - Analogue Transfer of signal (magnetic) • Issues: • - No bits without atoms => Electronics Industry is driver • I/O-modules for various signals => Standardisation • "Content is King" => Service providers are key players
Watch out - The Sensors are coming The innovative part of future systems !
Pervasive Computing is coming Complexity (increasing) & size (smaller) Nano Integration Micro Electronic Mechanical Time Now
Innovation Lab Denmark • Early mover/leading edge in e.g.: • Mobile Phones (NMT/GSM - 1st & 2nd generation) • Electronic Stock Exchange (25 years) • Hearing Aids (50 % + of world market) • Wind Power (40% + of world market) • Optical fibre • Energy Savings (e.g. Power Electronics & Fuel Cells) • General IT-literacy (Private & Business) • National Broadband coverage - and usage • Benchmarkings - Denmark/Scandinavia in front Denmark: The market for real life - and full scale - testing
