HP created a presence for its research division, HP Labs, in India in 2002. The mission for the new division was to create technology inspired by problems in countries such as India. The first stated mission of the lab was :〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.archive.org/web/20020307044715/http://www.hpl.hp.com/india/ )〕 "to generate innovations targeted at the world's emerging economies by understanding relevant social, cultural, economic and technological drivers." The mission morphed over time as follows. * In 2006, the mission statement read as:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.archive.org/web/20060902140833/http://www.hpl.hp.com/india/ )〕 "HP Labs India is focused on creating new technologies for addressing the IT needs of the next billion customers for HP." * In 2013, the mission statement read as:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.archive.org/web/20130115011003/http://www.hpl.hp.com/india/ )〕 "to create break-through innovations that enable HP to lead in the new wave of opportunities from rapidly growing economies." == Technology demonstrators == The lab created concepts for simplifying computer and Internet interactions. Gesture KeyBoard (GKB) was an early attempt by the lab to create a pen-based local-language-interaction-support for PCs. Since low-cost mobile phones without data-plan were being used in higher volume in India, the lab developed a solution that can enable mobile users with only voice and SMS services to access websites. The technology was called SiteOnMobile. Another hypothesis generated about technology in the Indian market was that many people in India own high-end Television and smart mobile phones, especially with the advent of Google Android phones. A new technology hypothesis was created so that Internet access to a large number of households and small-or-medium enterprises could be realized using a TV-connected broad-band device. The technology that demonstrated the efficacy of the hypothesis was called HP set-top box and Vayu Internet Device (VIND). The latest technology demonstrator was in the area of education called VideoBook, which aimed to reduce the cognitive load on text-book learning by automatically augmenting text-book content with videos from the Web. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hewlett-Packard Labs in India」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
