Provides Platform for Startups to Showcase Product Applications
Finding a platform to showcase tech products is one of the challenges for startups. Film Players Limited demonstrated their Digital Film in a simulated hotel room in the Lab. 'Digital Film is co-developed by Film Players, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL). The film is multifunctional and can be conveniently recharged with power bank. When applying on a glass window, the film can turn into a smart window to enable different shades of transparency or become a display board according to the user's needs. The product has earned numerous international awards and has been used both locally and overseas,' said Mr Toby So of Film Players.
Mr Jeff Lin of Liricco Technologies Limited introduced the Smart Car Park Lighting System which integrates multiple functions such as energy saving, data collection and security alert. It is now on pilot in the car park of Olympian City 3. The system can turn on and off the lights or adjust their brightness based on the extent of sunlight and the usage patterns of the drivers and passers-by, enabling substantial energy saving. The system also collects data and sends out security alert when irregularity arises. Jeff is grateful to 'Sino Inno Lab' for helping startups in expanding businesses, networks and new markets.
