Story Of This Spark

What is the inspiration?

Virtual reality is an amazing experience but it's missing tactical feedback. You can't fully get enclosed its virtual world unless all the sensory dimensions are there.

Why is this important to me?

Virtual reality is a big leap into the future, and can be used for so many amazing things.

Spark Guide

What is a Spark?

It all starts with a Spark! A Spark is when you ask the question - Why hasn’t someone created a technology or product that helps with this specific challenge? A Spark might directly improve your life or the lives of people you care about. It might even improve our world.

Make it happen - Spark a challenge and invite others to help design & sponsor a competition. Then watch as innovators compete to make your Spark a reality.

How to create a great Spark?

Great Sparks:

Describe - a specific technology need.
Inspire the public & media - with an authentic story of how the technology will benefit you or the world.
Outline - a technology competition.
Require Measurable - technology Goals (not subjective)
Encourage Achievable - technology Goals (not too easy, but difficult challenges should be broken down into Achievable outcomes).
Highlight Compelling - technology Goals (inspire people to care about the technology)
Basic Search - has been done before to determine if a relevant product is already available.
Produce Fun & Creative competitions.

What makes a Title stand out?

Titles are short, non-technical, intriguing, memorable, & media friendly. Something a stranger at a grocery store would easily understand.

How to write the best Description?

Descriptions are short. If you had less than 7 seconds to describe the Spark to a TV reporter, what few words would you use to captivate the audience?

What inspired you to Spark this Challenge?

Inspirations are an important beginning to the challenge story. What person, place, or event inspired you? How did it change your perspective? Be concise & get permission if you use names.

Why is this Challenge important to you?

Briefly describe why the technology is important to you, in simple language that others can relate to. Tell your authentic story of how this technology will benefit you or the lives of others. This is a short call to action that rallies other Members around the Challenge.

Using Tags?

Tags are used to quickly identify key words & common topics across challenges.

How to add supporting Images?

Choose pictures that are engaging & possibly tell the story of the Challenge. Select a quality that will show well on the site (without too large of a file size). Click the “Choose Files” button, find your photo & select it. Do not use pictures of existing products or images that might bias the technology outcomes. Do not use copyrighted material without permission. Pictures must be consistent with HG community values.

Selecting Industries?

Select industries that are affiliated with the technology challenge. Choose as many as you wish. Innovation may originate from one of the selected industries, but it may also come from someone outside these industries.
