Transcript of 20140503 Nico-Tech Fablab Asia Network 1st Conf
We are fab-geeks / makers / tech-enthusiasts from Japan.
We don’t just read or write science fiction, we do science fiction.
Notice again!I’m not able to speak english well.I will try to my presentation today, in my broken english. My first message, with apologies to Bruce Lee,
The US creates devices for first-person shooters;we use them to shake hands with virtual idols
We love to “Make: technology on our time.”
We love to have fun using technology
Trial and error is the best part of development. Debugging is fun in programming, isn’t it?
It is the essence of development - so we don’t hide our failures.
Stories drive our motivationScientist Masahiko Inami invented his Optical Camouflage technology inspired by Ghost in the Shell.
His favorite quote: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” -Arthur C. Clarke
Engrossing stories encourage others to act.
They push fiction to become reality.
Stories drive our motivationAward-winning science fiction author Hosuke Nojiri (@nojiri_h) is also an active member of Nico-Tech.
He says “I don’t just write science fiction, I do science fiction,” and engages in various maker activities:
• Launching homemade rockets
• Creating ornithopters shaped like underwear
Stories drive our motivation
Nojiri’s latest novel is a story of the future where a Fablab style open-sourced factory develops a spaceship and eventually achieves spaceflight.
The future can work out without silicon valley
We created the ASIMO for our longing of Astro Boy.
We long for Hatsune Miku and strive to make her real.
There is no Apple nor Google in asia.
But we do have stories - and we think that brings us very close to the future. We walk different paths from silicon valley, but all roads lead to the future.
We are the future
This presentation was crowdsourced online by Japanese Makers
Our motivation is fun. Fun is what makes the future.We look forward to see you at Maker Faire Tokyo 2014!
We are Nico-Tech!
