Ramesh Raskar is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology Associate Professor and head of the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture research group. He received the TR100 Award from ''Technology Review'' and holds over fifty patents. His lab produced a number of extreme highspeed pictures using a femto-camera that took images at around one-trillion frames per second. It has also developed a camera to see around corners using bursts of laser light. His lab also co-produced a new device to compute refractive error of eye (prescription for eyeglasses) on a mobile phone. This has been spun out as a venture EyeNetra.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eye Netra )〕 Raskar co-authored one of the earliest books on virtual and augmented reality, Spatial Augmented Reality and made it freely available for (download ). Raskar has built a framework for inventing new ideas called Idea Hexagon 〔http://www.tedxbeaconstreet.com/ramesh-raskar/〕. Raskar grew up in Nasik, India 〔http://news.mit.edu/2011/profile-raskar-0929〕 and finished his PhD at UNC Chapel Hill. He co-founded Kumbathon with Sunil Khandbahale, an innovation platform to spot problems and probe solutions in Nashik. The platform has now grown to stimulate impact ventures that empower newly digital citizens in non-metro Tier II cities. (Newspaper Guardian news feature ) describes the details. Impact ventures around newly digital citizens require an integrated effort and a large petri dish for experimentation. A single isolated venture is unlikely to succeed without deep engagement from city businesses; government officials, multiple stakeholders and well identified newly digital citizens. We have found an ideal venue for such a sandbox for venture experimentation. The vibrant and beautiful Kumbh Mela in city of Nashik provides the grounds to test many of these ideas for tech and adoption. At the same time, the innovators are bringing innovative solutions to Kumbh Mela, many of which have been already put in place by the citizens. (The NasikLive app built by Kumbhathon teams is the official app of the Kumbh Mela, providing unprecedented dynamic data to empower visitors and officials of the Kumbh Mela, but also provide 'big-data' solutions for predictive analytics). Kumbhathons are bi-annual camps used for probing tech and adoption risks. Kumbhathon is NOT a traditional hackathon or a competition. Clearly, innovators cannot work for just one specific event like Kumbh Mela. The innovation center now supports the innovators and entrepreneurs to take these ventures to other venues or morph them for daily use by the newly digital citizens. When speaking to these young innovators many of them often ask Dr. Ramesh Raskar on how to pursue a dream. Dr. Ramesh Raskar in a recent AMA discussed about G-R-O-W : "Go breadth first: learn what is out there, from online classes, watch videos, read tech magazines Rebuild you skill set: build stuff, write programs, do experiments, join local tech hobby groups, meet like minded people, help others build stuff in online communities Online reputation: create a portfolio, make a website, write a blog about your thoughts, share knowledge, attend conferences, network .. think about WHERE to go deep (but don't go too deep on any topic yet) and start exploring Wow them and Connect: Once you have a good portfolio online, start pinging important folks who may open new doors for you or challenge you pushing you into meaningful directions." Raskar joined the Media Lab from Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in 2008 as head of the Lab’s Camera Culture research group. His research interests span the fields of computational photography, inverse problems in imaging and human-computer interaction.Recent projects and inventions include transient imaging to look around a corner, a next generation CAT-Scan machine, imperceptible markers for motion capture (Prakash), long distance barcodes (Bokode), touch+hover 3D interaction displays (BiDi screen), low-cost eye care devices (Netra,Catra), new theoretical models to augment light fields (ALF) to represent wave phenomena and algebraic rank constraints for 3D displays(HR3D).In 2004, Raskar received the TR100 Award from Technology Review, which recognizes top young innovators under the age of 35, and in 2003, the Global Indus Technovator Award, instituted at MIT to recognize the top 20 Indian technology innovators worldwide. In 2009, he was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship. In 2010, he received the Darpa Young Faculty award. Other awards include Marr Prize honorable mention 2009, LAUNCH Health Innovation Award, presented by NASA, USAID, US State Dept and NIKE, 2010, Vodafone Wireless Innovation Project Award (first place), 2011. He holds over 40 US patents and has received four Mitsubishi Electric Invention Awards. He is currently co-authoring a book on Computational Photography. (webpage http://raskar.info ) == Idea Hexagon == Raskar has built a framework for inventing new ideas called (Idea Hexagon ). Many inventors around the world feel that the process invention can often seem very confusing.This was one of the reason due to which Dr.Ramesh Raskar felt a need to create a Mental Framework.It is this framework that has now evolved into the Idea Hexagon. The idea hexagon is an easy-to-use framework that can be used to solve the issues faced during the invention phase and also to solve the problems we come across in day today lives .The simple question that kick-starts the idea hexagon is "If I have an idea X , What is next?" By Applying formulas to the original idea "X" one can come up with dozens of new ideas.The six strategies that one can use are : * Raise the Problem to the next level. (X^d ) * Combine the idea "X" with something you already know "y" (X+Y ) * Given a hammer try to find all the nails , using this one can learn to not only solve the original problem with a specific solution but also to try in finding all the other possible solutions to the problem. (X↑ ) * Given a nail , find all the hammers.Given a new problem to solve , try not to stick to the original solution rather find all the different solutions and apply them. (X↓ ) * Adding your Favorite Adjective to your original idea 'X' , some of the common adjectives that user are : make the product faster , better and cheaper. But , one can also focus on making it Adaptive , Distributive , Realized , Green etc. (X++ ) * The final vortex is trying the inverse of what others are doing , one of the most interesting example that was given by Dr.Ramesh Raskar on his TED 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramesh Raskar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
