Research Challenges
Media X is guiding the next chapter of the technology revolution by discovering new truths about how people use technology. Media X projects go beyond computing power and connection, to questions about the best ways for people to interact with technology, and the value that technology can add to daily life.
Media X has a privileged relationship with its corporate members, providing them with a springboard for both innovative products and thinking. By pursuing a range of research that no single company could match, Media X provides an abundance of ideas, technologies, and concepts for the future. Some of the benefits:
Knowledge Transfer
Media X facilitates the transfer of creative ideas for the use of a single new technology, or the convergence of several technologies.
Interactive Demonstrations
Coming to workshops and seminars at Media X to see research projects firsthand—and to engage in impromptu discussions about the demos—brings valuable insight into new approaches that can be applied to a member’s research agenda.
Brainstorming, Technology, and Product Review Sessions
Media X input can help sponsors create a new product concept, provide critical feedback during various stages of product development, or help to reframe an existing product line. Faculty members and staff are always available for consultation. Graduate / doctoral students can be leveraged for internships or proof-of-concept work.
Natural Meeting Place for Cross-Company Collaboration
Members recognize the value of meeting other members, opening the possibility for collaboration. Members also build business connections with downstream partners, which can enable them to come to market with a more complete product.
