Agenda 2015 Overview (From Nokia Research Labs)

Something i have just been reading from Nokia's CTO Blog, and thought I'd share :)

Summer days in 2015 - our agenda for mobility

Dreaming about the future

Close your eyes and picture for a moment what “connecting people” will mean in the summer of 2015. In what new ways will you enjoy your daily life and the holidays? What would enrich your life? What do you need to make this possible? That’s what a group of colleagues from Nokia Research Center spent the past weeks looking at. In between bouts of dreaming, we listened to experts in various fields and took a closer look at the research we’re doing at our sites around the world. The result is what we call Agenda 2015; a vision of the future as the physical world fuses with the digital world.


Agenda 2015 setting a path for the future of mobility

We came up with eight areas that inspired us, where we believe research will create new value for people connecting with each other and with what matters to them.

* User and context modeling- meeting your needs on your terms. How could you enjoy experiences that adapt to your specific wishes? Understanding how people could reveal their context in a safe way is the starting point for many exciting personalized possibilities.

* Physically personal devices- engaging you emotionally by adapting to your lifestyle and environment. Tapani Ryhänen introduced the research we’re doing to bring autonomous sensing and computing into any physical object in the world and to enable the mobile devices of our imagination. I think the Morph video that his team created together with the University of Cambridge reveals this vision beautifully.

* Human interface- interacting joyfully and intuitively through technology. The future of mobile is about endless possibilities - but this could turn into our worst nightmare without corresponding advances to make the experience truly pleasurable.

And with such a wide range of experiences available to users, which areas excited us the most?

* Mixed Reality- enriching and sharing experiences in fused physical digital worlds. We’re excited about the communication and entertainment possibilities that emerge for spending our leisure and work time as our environment becomes digitally-enriched.

* Creativity- unleashing the creative and collaborative power of people. We’d like to discover how mobile solutions could make it simple and enriching for billions of people connected wherever they are to create and collaborate with each other.

Solving the challenges in the technical environment will be critical to hide the complexity in our vision of the future.

* Scalable service platforms- delivering services to billions of users. We’d like to enjoy a multitude of services whenever we want, so dependability will be a critical element to realize our hopes.

* Internet of things- connecting everything and every place. The real potential of mobility converging with the internet will be set free when we can interact with our environment and discover information about things wherever we want.

* Dynamic wireless- liberating spectrum to expand markets. We figured that all the services people will want will require technological advances to expand the overall wireless market.

Nokia Research Center’s agenda for open innovation

So there you have our predictions for some of the ways mobility will change the world around us by the summer of 2015. Our teams at Nokia Research Center are co-located with leading universities around the world- from China to the United States, via India, eastern Africa, Finland, Switzerland and Britain, and are collaborating with a network of innovators to research these and related areas.

We’re very excited about this agenda and are looking forward to sharing with you some of the insights we make over the coming months.

Hummm. I have to say that just sounded like a complete load of marketing tosh, and didnt actually say anything.

* User and context modeling- meeting your needs on your terms. How could you enjoy experiences that adapt to your specific wishes? Understanding how people could reveal their context in a safe way is the starting point for many exciting personalized possibilities.

In a safe way??

* Dynamic wireless- liberating spectrum to expand markets. We figured that all the services people will want will require technological advances to expand the overall wireless market.

Just totally meaningless mix of 'power words' IMO.

Dynamic - check.

Liberating - check.

Spectrum - check.

Not having a go at your post Micky, just the total inane babble made up by some highly paid muppet.
