What will it help us do tomorrow? That’s what HP Labs is charged with answering. We have hundreds of dedicated researchers in six labs around the world working on things like expanding the potential of today’s cloud computing technology; creating interactive displays that use ambient light instead of backlighting, so our phones and laptops use less energy; and building a Central Nervous System for the Earth that uses billions of highly sensitive nano-scale sensors to monitor our environment, so we can react more quickly to things like natural disasters, manufacturing line failures, hazardous road conditions, and even home gas leaks. But that’s just the beginning. In all, HP Labs researchers are focused on 21 large-scale or “big-bet” projects in eight high-impact research areas: digital commercial print, content transformation, immersive interaction, information management, analytics, cloud, intelligent infrastructure, and sustainability. Our research is focused on tackling some of the world’s toughest problems, creating new opportunities, and putting innovation into the hands of millions of people around the …show more content…
Doctors in Norway are providing up-to-the-second, life-saving care to their patients with HP systems that are always on and always connected. In Canada, a nonprofit organization is using HP cloud computing technology to decrease the amount of time it takes to trace and remove potentially harmful food products from the supply chain once a recall has been issued. And in Brazil, we’re working long-term with a company to design an infrastructure that not only meets their sustainability goals, but will also create new jobs in the region. It’s because of our unique combination of size, scale, and global presence that we can pioneer new markets, make technology accessible and affordable, use our natural resources effectively, and invest in the research required to enable the next round of technological
