From basic research to actual products.

This is exciting information we received from a company we assisted in developing for basic research purposes. In the basic research, they expressed a desire to "quantify human sensory evaluation." Since our company specializes in image processing, it relates to "visual" aspects. While we start with visual input, the evaluation targets are not limited to appearance alone. The first time we challenged ourselves to "quantify sensory evaluation" was a request from a company that had been conducting "skin diagnostics" ten years ago. This time, the subject is industrial products, and upon hearing their story, it became clear that "I see! Evaluating from that perspective would be difficult for machines." This was the theme that emerged. They acknowledged that it would be challenging since they are a research institute, but they wanted to take on the challenge. Currently, we are developing a completely different theme from what the person in charge at that time was working on. However, recently we received an inquiry asking, "Could you make some changes to that software from back then?" When I asked for more details, I was surprised to learn that they had actually begun incorporating that research into actual product development, and this request came from the field. Honestly, this is quite rare, but I felt compelled to share it. *News is distributed through our company newsletter.
