The mission of the PSJL Technology Collaboration Group (TCG) is to maximize the advantage of our early access to cutting-edge R&D in universities, other research entities, and early ventures. We do so by identifying, evaluating, and cross-communicating opportunities for R&D synergies, and by setting up successful collaboration frameworks among Panasonic research entities and external partners.

Among our academic collaborators in 2006 are:

• Stanford University Center for Design Research
• San Jose State University Human Factors and Ergonomics Program
• The University of British Columbia Media and Graphics Interdisciplinary Centre
