Triggers to innovate and invent

Innovation can be construed as introducing something new. Invention is the embodiment of something new. It might constitute a new composition, device or a new process. It might also be an improvement of a pre-existing model or idea. Both invention and innovation have unique connotations; innovation is related to acceptance in society profitability and market performance expectation. Hence, the culmination of a successful innovation is its commercial exploitation.
Innovations are essentially an extension of a person’s imagination and ideas. As the famous saying goes “Necessity is the mother of all inventions”. The need to improve our lives is a major driving force for inventions. Chester Carlson’s invention of Xerography is an exemplification of this. As he worked at his job at a patent attorney, Carlson noted that there never seemed to be enough carbon copies of patent specifications, and there seemed to be no quick or practical way of getting more. The choices were limited to sending for expensive photostats, or having the documents retyped and then reread for errors. He then conceptualised a device that would accept a document and make copies of it in seconds. After exhaustive research and experimenting, Carlson unearthed the fundamental principles of what he called electrophotography –later to be named xerography — and defined them in a patent application filed in September, 1938.
Not all inventions are planned. As Lauren Richey would testify. While still in high school, Lauren approached Brigham Young University professor John Gardner about using his scanning electron microscope to look at the beetle known as Lamprocyphus augustus. On examining the scales, they noticed something unusual for iridescent surfaces: They reflected the same shade of green at every angle. This was because each beetle scale contained a crystal with a honeycomb-like interior that had the same structural arrangement as carbon atoms in a diamond. The structural arrangement on the shiny scales of a Brazilian beetle sparked off research on futuristic computers which uses light rather than electricity for processing information. Scientists have long dreamed of computer chips based on light rather than electricity. In “optical computing,” chips would need photonic crystals to channel light particles. That’s easier said than done when dealing with high frequencies such as visible light. These beetle scales could serve as a mold or template to which semiconductor material, like titanium or silica, can be added. The original beetle material can then be removed with acid leaving an inverse structure of the beetle crystal, a now usable photonic crystal in the visible light regions. Now two years shy of a degree in physics, Lauren received funding to examine the photonic crystal structures of two more species of iridescent beetles. With the help of a new ion beam microscope, she’s so far nailed down the structure of one and is still working on the other.
The incentive to innovate might be varied but ultimately, innovation culminates in going beyond the boundaries of human comprehension, thus making us marvel at the wonders of the human mind. The invention of “Sixth sense” by Pranav Mistry which sounds exactly like something out of a Sci-fi is one such example. SixthSense is a wearable gestural interface that bridges the gap between intangible digital information and the tangible world. SixthSense is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera which allows you to interact with objects in a way never before possible. SixthSense recognizes user’s freehand gestures (postures).You can take a picture simply by framing scenery with your hands or even hold up an object at a store and find out all relevant information about it. SixthSense essentially makes the entire world your computer. The SixthSense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. The map application lets the user navigate a map displayed on a nearby surface using hand gestures, similar to gestures supported by Multi-Touch based systems, letting the user zoom in, zoom out or pan using intuitive hand movements. The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user’s index finger. The SixthSense system also augments physical objects the user is interacting with by projecting more information about these objects projected on them. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. The gesture of drawing a circle on the user’s wrist projects an analog watch.
Innovation and invention can thus be considered as harbingers of change. Technology has become increasingly innovative and fast paced. The triggers to innovate and invent might be disparate but the ultimate outcome is change. Innovation and invention are responsible for ushering in change which in turn leads to development of our lives and society in general.
