hi everyone who he love dinosaur Oh
awesome I’m proud to say that I’m one of
you all behind us always my favorite
thing but before that my talk today is
prototyping the impossible and my name
is Pat so as I mentioned I am a big fan
of dinosaur but the unfortunate thing
about people that love dinosaur like me
and some of you is that they are all
gone they always think so that’s a kid
this is my you know a picture of when I
was a baby if you’re serious about
dinosaur enough you might consider
making your own dinosaur and this paper
dinosaur is what I made a while back and
to reflect up on that is actually the
first prototype I create so you might
wonder what exactly is prototyping is it
creating a dinosaur absolutely not
prototyping is a way to convert
imagination into something that is
tangible whether you want to make the
world a better place become a
billionaire kill cancer or develop a
spate travel program convert or starting
a Rockman converting imagination to
reality is crucial so people have
developed different way to prototype you
can see here are this design I use paper
to visualize how the iPad app will look
like so that the designer can move
things around to to fit with the user or
this folded paper is also a prototype
and it’s very exciting because it’s the
prototype of something that will
eventually go into space these folded
paper is a prototype of the solar panel
and the researcher put together in order
to see how the solar cell group we will
float on I stand out in the space so you
can see here that we can use prototype
to make an app or spare technology but
the key here is to use simple material
because if you use that you bought you
visualizing it in your mind in a fast
manner you can share it with other
people you can test it and you can ID it
again so this is why prototype is very
important so you might wonder
how can I start prototyping and that
bring back the dinosaur so the reason I
think that these dinosaur paper is a
prototype it’s because it reflect the
main feature of the dinosaur finding the
main feature of what you want a
prototype is very important for example
one of my project that I collaborated my
friend we were inspired by this picture
there are nutritious food that is very
difficult for student to eat for example
wedgies so we have a question of how
might we redesign a food for the future
how can we do that how can we convert
something that is so nutritious into
something that is you know more
interesting maybe dinosaur or they say
right yep so that’s why we have the idea
of food printing to use 3d printer to
print food over future and to start that
we look at the main feature of the 3d
printer which is to you know fabricate
thing into the shape that we want and
our hand our two hands here can do that
as well so we start with hyping but you
know it’s just using our hand to mimic
the main function the main feature of
the 3d printer and then build a machine
that can automate that right so you can
see we are printing the reindeer not as
to a dinosaur but it works so so yeah so
here are the 3d printed food that we
have or develop and you know we can
print like something like I love you I
love my dinosaur you know or a cat do it
is also awesome so you can see here that
we goes from you know using our hand to
mimic the main functionality of the 3d
printer into the patented technology we
patent it our food printer another
project another example they were like
to bring up is when I collaborate with
my friend who is a performance artist we
were in the studio and we would have to
redesign the future of art so my friend
who is a performance artist came up with
the idea that in the future the dancer
will be able to lead the the patient in
the rehabilitation process you know so
the artist can step in the wrong
medicine
and she think further because she
imagined that the future artist will not
come as a person but will come as a
hologram to lead this session so the key
message that we want a prototype is to
develop a hologram that can deliver
compassionate to people and you know one
way that we do it all the time is by
hacking and I love it this I have people
all the time and it’s one way to share
love and compassion and empathy so we
end up with the ideal hackable hologram
isn’t that crazy
yeah we don’t even have a hologram yet
how can we gonna make a hackable
hologram
right so we look for a simple object and
we find that we already have an object
that can you know serve the main
function or for that we have pillow so
we use projector to project my friend on
the pillow so that she can lead the
workshop and then people can come in hug
her so at the end we make hackable
hologram we see you’ll be able to type
the workshop and people can come and you
know get her compassion so we make it
awesome
so another way that you can make your
prototype strong is to have a strong we
show elements at issue we have a very
awesome he went whore hacks for humanity
and I was excited about that when I was
a freshman year and I participate I
invite a couple my friend with me but
you know what
none of them shown up so I was they
alone and I met with four other
incredible human being and we start to
brainstorm idea the goal for hacks for
Humanity is to create technology that
incorporates this humanity 101 principle
and two of my team members only share
the experience of losing someone to
suicide so we look at this statistic and
we found that suicide is a big deal
every 13.3 minute someone lose their
license suicide however nearly 10% of
those people have paused the ideation or
social media before so we came up with
the idea to answer this question how
might we connect people that are have
crisis with a mental health professional
so we developed an algorithm they’ll be
able to look through public social media
and be able to identify people with
suicide iation
and connect them with mental health
professional it’s now abstract and
complicated right so what we did on top
of making the algorithm is to create a
visual element of the interface that the
professional will come and be and look
at a tweet so having something that is
complicated can be you know simplified
by using a strong visual element and
five of us after the hackathon you know
we didn’t know each other before but we
work together and we provide high bid
and we want hackathon and now we’re in
the three years of our journey as a
startup company that want to do social
good and we got funded to do awesome
work yes so the important thing is that
you know even though I invite my friend
none of them shown up I accept the call
to adventure and I dare you to do that
as well talking about the call to
adventure another project of my starting
last summer we were interested in
is fact that our united nation put out
saying that insects are the protein of
the future because they are nutritious
and they were sustainable but capturing
insect is not easy right
so we we we want to make that process
simple so we look at nature because
nature or we have some amazing solution
we look at nature and we are inspired by
the way that carnivores plan attract
infect so we take it in that inspiration
and designed a device that be able to
are captured in fact by mimicking the
functionality of the carnivores plans
however we cannot make this prototype
alone ourselves so we collaborate with
the villager in Thailand because they
have the knowledge of how to fabricate
the basket that is close to what we
design so we work with them and be able
to develop this prototype and at the end
this dy1 the global biomimicry design
challenge as a prototype for solving
food crisis so working with the expert
is the key here and we work with you
know we work with the relator we are
grateful adesh added wisdom with us but
we also learn from nature which is which
has a lot of expertise in solving
problems as alan turing say sometimes
this is the people no one can imagine
anything of who do the thing that no one
can imagine so look for the expert that
they might not be the type of expert
that you usually think of the next way
to make the prototype interesting is to
tell a great story I was at the MIT
Media Lab and they were having an event
that pull together different people that
are interested in were surely the
technology and they have our conference
and hackathon so virtual reality is a
very exciting technology because once
you put on the device you can be in like
you know any word can be in dinosaur
burrow or – well you can be immersed
into you into fantasy however in order
to create this world you need to have a
technical
background you need to be able to hold
and we think that hmm that’s interesting
so we have an imagination that what if
we can what if every story that we write
can become a 3d world that we can all be
in what if what Jake heralding that
wrote it for Harry Potter can become a
war reality technology without any like
coding or anything if it’s just get
translated like that how awesome that
would be our thing about what if like
children be able to write story and
share with their parent in the worst
reality world how awesome that would be
so we were excited about that and
someone came talk to us saying no you
cannot do it it’s too complicated it’s
too magical you know it’s too awesome
basically so thank you yeah yeah so so
when we hear that we know that you know
we have something great and we continue
to work on it so at the end we use
natural language processing to extract
the key word from the text that we write
in we put it in Clow and then we have VR
grab it so at the end we develop a
platform that can convert a story into
we are as magical as we imagined and
here is the real version of it you can
see people try it on a Google cardboard
and at the end we warn to hack upon
again yeah
so no matter what people tell you keep
going keep going
the last thing that I like to share with
you is about the big thing people wait
things about the big thing however if
you can go one step further and think
beyond a big thing you’ll be able to do
more or something for example we know
that artificial intelligence is coming
how do we think beyond AI and I and my
friend some of them are here actually we
weren’t interested in the area of
Medicine and AI we know that you know AI
be able to you know predict our the
disease and create a treatment in the
same way the doctor can do so we imagine
how might we Co design the post AI
medicine because medicine is not just
about science it’s also about human
interaction how we create a
compassionate environment in the post AI
well so we bring in technologists doctor
patient we have them switch role we
bring we are borrowed a technique from
theater so social change we have them
you know do a role play and you know one
of them pretend to be an AI and craft
the interaction that they want so this
idea of using play or you know using a
role play as a way to craft the future
interaction the other thing that we
design become the blueprint for what the
AI in medicine will look like we know
that DNA computing is coming so how do
we think beyond DNA computer my project
one of them focus on asking the question
what if we have a device that can read
or write DNA like we read and write
hardest so by asking that question
we prepared hype something has not yet
access but it allow us to map out all
the potential interaction that can
happen and this is very interesting
we know that STEM education is coming we
need technologies we need engineer we
need mathematicians we need people that
are interested in making the world
better place how we go beyond that this
is the last project I
I promise you so I and my friend in
Thailand we pilot a prototype of the
future of Education not only we teach
arms high school and made us the middle
school student the way to prototype the
way to create code the way to you know
work with science we bring them to see
traditional art we bring them to see
Performing Arts we bring them to
humanities and social science and we put
and react them to develop a technology
that they think we accept in the future
and is very fascinating because the
project that they came up with is not
just a robot it also has a human
dimension to it for example you can see
here these robot they create they
mimicked on the art style from the
traditional art they have seen so the
robot they create are not alienating to
society but it blend perfectly with the
culture of that place and when we look
at the answer of what student learn we
analyzed the result and we see that
they’ll be able to make a connection
between art and science and that is you
know what we want to see in the future
as Steve Jobs say creativity is just
connecting things so thinking beyond is
important because it helped if help
differentiate you from auto competitor
is create new lens for you to innovate
further and I hope that this lesson
along with the earlier lesson that I
share with you will help you realize
that you can use prototype to prototype
anything from education medicine food or
even the dinosaur so blue types are not
perfect but they show us and they help
us reimagine reality I myself is a
prototype I’m not perfect and these
people here are my provider they protect
me into a better innovator better
creator and the most important thing a
better human being
some thankful for them the last message
that I would like you to take away from
my presentation is that prototyping is
important no matter how big or small
your idea is or no matter how crazy it
is
please use prototype because it’s allow
to convert thing that seems impossible
at first into thing that you can make it
possible thank you very much
[Applause]
awesome I’m proud to say that I’m one of
