Talking with Stephen Russell of 3VR
[From In Hard Focus: Sitting Down with Rajiv Shah]
Stephen Russell of 3VR Security recently gave me the chance to ask him some questions on smart cameras. He has posted his responses over at his blog, In Hard Focus. HIs responses are very informative and insightful. I urge all of you to read his full responses. Here are the questions I asked:
1. Privacy: What should the industry approach be towards privacy? Should they incorporate features that protect privacy? Should they have default settings that protect privacy or delete information? Or should we not worry about this? Is there a need for an industry-wide approach to this issue?
2. Comparing Vendor Solutions: What can be done to make it simpler for end users to compare and contrast different solutions? It’s very confusing now for end users to sort through claims by tens of companies on effectiveness, costs, technology, etc.
3. Connections to Academia: Explain if anything needs to be done to expand the connection between industry and academia. After all, much of the engineering talent has come directly from universities. Are there any suggestions you have for universities and their research?
4. Future Growth of Smart Cameras: Have cameras hit a period of steady growth or do you foresee a potential boom ahead? If so, what are the crucial factors that you see that are limiting growth of that will cause growth to increase? Do we need to improve technology, better end-user experience, etc.
