Rethinking product research when time is on your side, but funds are not!

Published: 11 June 2008 Publication History

Abstract

This is the story of how a technology without a specific audience or guiding research was influenced by exploiting the uniqueness of the technology coupled with child research that influenced prototype development. My company has been working on a unique character recognition technology for preschoolers for many years now. It's a pet project that has not gone to market but keeps getting improved upon.
