Join us and help create exciting and innovative user interface solutions for the
Asian markets
PHILIPS INNOVATION CENTER TAIPEI
Philips is a leader in developing innovative technologies for the consumer
electronics markets worldwide. Philips Research has major research laboratories
in the Netherlands (the headquarters), Germany, the United Kingdom, France,
Taiwan, and the United
States. Philips Research collaborates with Philips' product divisions to turn
the best ideas into products that are marketed worldwide. Philips Innovation
Center Taipei was established innTaiwan a couple of years ago to serve the
rapidly growing Philips
businesses in the Asia Pacific region. Our research program focuses on
Speech-based Asian User Interfaces and Networked Consumer Systems.
Philips Innovation Center Taipei (PICT) is setting up a new user interface
research team to work alongside the technology research carried out in our
center. The aim of the team is to support the operational business groups of
Philips by investigating
the characterisitics of user interface solutions that are specific to the east
Asian markets. The scope of the research will include usage issues as well as
socio-cultural influences. The main application areas will be networked
entertainment and
communication systems for the consumer markets. The team will work together
with technology research teams investigating innovative interaction
technologies, with particular emphasis on the use of speech technologies, and
interaction designers from
Philips Design. The team will establish pioneering work in this area that aims
to both create innovative UI solutions and the methodologies necessary to
investigate the specific requirements of Asian consumers.
