Question

Please help answer the following:

In your first job, you're going to be designing a new 3D projection system that derives the 3D scene content by building a model of the 3D scene from ordinary images using a technique called "depth from defocus" -- no special camera needed. Unfortunately, that will need a lot of computation. Your business plan says you need to start delivering the product 3 years from now. That's fortunate, because the currently best processor you can buy isn't fast enough to do this computation in real time. How would you go about figuring-out if fast enough versions of that processor will be available in 3 years when your product needs to ship? (Note: there are lots of valid answers to this question.)

Explanation / Answer

Hello,

I would zero in on a few companies that can deliver the best processor.

Next, follow the companies closely and observe their product release pattern from the past.

Also, follow closely their present activities / talks and check if they bear any hint of releasing the product in the later stages.

From these estimate if the processor will be delivered in due time or not.
