10 hypothesis 　　　 for SXSW2016

SXSW Japan Rep. Official Partner

Can’t wait!!

2016.3.4


10 hypothesis for SXSW2016We’ve kept our eye on trends at SXSW since 2012, making this our 5th year.

Perceiving them as trends may lead us to believe that new services are making waves every year, but in reality the theme has remained the same, with only the words being used to describe it changing.

If we can read these trends then I believe that we’ll find hints for Japan.

Based on my previous experiences, please allow me to predict what the SXSW participants this year will be interested in. …please forgive me if I’m mistaken.

VISIONGRAPH is an organization in that produces content that will spread widely through society; content that one would expect to be science fiction but is in fact real; predicting, analyzing, and transmitting “future forecasts” based on the vision of those who will create the future.

We are now serving as SXSW evangelists as official partners of the SXSW Japan Representative Office and will be responsible for making reports that analyze several years of fixed-point observations of both SXSW and SXSW Eco, and holding study groups and events for both schools and corporations.

SXSW Session Announcement!!

Session Organized by VISIONGRAPH

Commercial bionic hands haven’t evolved much. It costs more than 15,000 USD, and there are only limited variations of design because the market of such hands is small, while individual differences of users are large.Exiii is trying to turn bionic hand into more a “casual” thing both in terms of price and design by using 3D-printer and open-source. HACKberry has been printed out and customized around the globe along with local communities. Coincidentally, other players from different countries have started to address this issue around the same time (e.g. Open Bionics, e-nable, Unlimited Tomorrow). How will these things redefine human body and change the medical service and business models?
