<p>On Wednesday night, 3dim earned the grand prize at this year’s MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition after successfully pitching its business plan to merge two of today’s most popular, and profitable, technological phenomena: gesture-recognition and smart devices. <br/><br/>.<br/>3dim, founded by a team of MIT engineers, has patented 3-D gesture-recognition technology — such as what’s used in the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect — to be implemented into devices such as smartphones, tablets or Google Glass. This would allow users to interact with their devices through thin air, rather than having to touch a screen.<br/><br/>The need for power-hungry, specialized hardware has kept such technology from mobile devices — problems that 3dim has now rectified, co-founder Andrea Colaco, a PhD student at the MIT Media Lab, said during the winning pitch. <br/><br/>“What is the next interface [for mobile devices]? … The answer is gesture recognition,” Colaco said. “Every mobile-device manufacturer is scrambling to bring gesture-recognition into their devices. This is an immediate and unaddressed market.”<br/><br/>No one walked away empty-handed. Each of the eight finalists — out of a pool of 215 entrants this year — received $15,000 for winning its respective track: life sciences, products and services, mobile, web/IT, energy, the Segal Family Foundation’s emerging markets track, and two wildcard entries. <br/><br/>The contest also hosted several offshoots: a $10,000 Thomson Reuters Data Prize for the team with the most innovative data-centric business plan; the first-ever $10,000 Creative Arts Prize for the innovative use of art in a business plan; an AARP Prize for $10,000; and a $2,000 Audience Choice Award.<br/><br/>Since its debut in 1989, the competition has helped launch more than 160 companies, which have gone on to collectively raise $1.3 billion in venture capital, employ 4,600 people and build $16 billion in market capital. <br/><br/><strong>Health, energy and infrastructure solutions</strong><br/><br/>Other finalists’ innovations aim to prevent and diagnosis debilitating diseases, deliver clean energy and fix infrastructure issues.<br/><br/>Several teams — NoMos, QuikCatheter, SympSolutions and eyeMITRA — are developing health-care innovations. NoMos, winner of the Audience Choice Award, aims to stop the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria, by distributing a natural, nontoxic, environmentally friendly extract that prevents mosquito-human contact.<br/><br/>QuikCatheter plans to manufacture modified microcatheters doctors could use to help improve patient outcomes in time-sensitive emergencies, such as stroke and arterial bleeding, and improve efficiency in a variety of non-urgent or outpatient procedures. SympSolutions is developing a cost-effective and noninvasive way to treat the carotid body — a small organ known to contribute to high blood pressure — in hypertensive patients who no longer respond to oral medications alone. <br/><br/>Finally, eyeMITRA is developing mobile technology that collects valuable information about a person’s well-being — such as eyesight complications associated with diabetes — via retina monitoring. “It may seem like science fiction, but this is MIT,” said eyeMITRA team member Everett Lawson, a postdoc in the MIT Media Lab.<br/><br/>Other teams developed infrastructure and clean-energy innovations. UPower, which won MIT’s Clean Energy Prize last week, is developing a nuclear generator for places off the power grid, such as U.S. Army bases in Afghanistan, that could replace diesel generators — reducing energy costs and, in theory, providing power for up to 12 years without a recharge. <br/><br/>Ant Intelligence aims to collect and interpret data from buildings and infrastructure — such as bridges, dams and excavation sites — and generate structural data to be used for remote monitoring and preventive maintenance, disaster management and big-data analytics, among other things.<br/><br/>Finally, C2Sense has several patents and published academic articles backing its technology: low-cost “sensors on a chip” that can be used for detecting and measuring a range of chemical substances in food, or for safety monitoring and environmental protection. <br/><br/>Three other teams — AugMI Labs, Kiwi and Mediuum — won the Data Prize, the AARP Prize and the Creative Arts Prize, respectively. <br/><br/><strong>‘</strong></p>

<p>7 may 2013 - the weekend say the year's celebrations of mit prizes (development) global challenge- notes on winners include</p>
<p><br/>Two teams took home $10,000 prizes: Augmented Infant Resuscitator (AIR), a maker of resuscitation devices, and Love Grain, a fair-trade food company. <br/><br/>AIR developer Kevin Cedrone SM ’10 built his prototype from spare lab parts in just one night after learning that nearly 2 million infants worldwide die annually from breathing-related problems, mostly in developing countries. <br/><br/>His prototype attaches to ventilation equipment and measures the rate and pressure of air entering an infant’s lungs. It also signals if users need to speed up or slow down air delivery, or correct the mask seal, among other things. The aim is to provide real-time feedback and long-term data to help improve resuscitation quality, technique, training and equipment.<br/><br/>“You take this data, these very low-cost measurements, and turn them into high-value judgments: Is what I’m doing going to save this baby’s life?” he said. “This is a case where cheap measurements become really powerful levers to do things like saving infant lives.” <br/><br/>With the IDEAS funds, Cedrone said, his team will travel to Uganda for clinical trials.<br/><br/>Love Grain — co-founded by Aleem Ahmed, Caroline Mauldin and Kaia Lai, all students at the MIT Sloan School of Management — aims to benefit Ethiopian farmers by helping them tap into the multibillion-dollar gluten-free market. <br/><br/>Their plan is to supply Ethiopian farmers with seed and fertilizer to grow a grain, teff, that Love Grain will then purchase from the farmers and ship to the United States to be made into gluten-free baking mixes, cereals and pastas. Profits will go toward buying more seed and fertilizer for the farmers.<br/><br/>“We believe we are changing the value chain to value cycle,” said Ahmed, an MBA student. “This is a model that can be replicated in other countries for farmers facing similar challenges around the world.”<br/><br/>Love Grain team members will use their IDEAS funds to travel to Ethiopia with an initial delivery of seed and fertilizer for farmers. <br/><br/><strong>Wide variety of innovations</strong><br/><br/>Additional teams represented a wide variety of innovative ideas, including microbial power generators, waste-management and recycling technology, and even a water-bottle-sharing program. <br/><br/>One $7,500 winner, ReFresh, was described by its co-founder, MBA student Sean Grundy, as “the Redbox for beverages.” The project allows someone to check out a reusable water bottle from a vending machine and return it to any other machine, which will sanitize the bottle for reuse. The project aims to reduce the pollution and waste associated with disposable water bottles, Grundy said.<br/><br/>Two other MIT Sloan students — David Young and Francisco Aguilar — took home $5,000 for their Bounce Imaging Explorer. Their working prototype is a ball with a built-in camera and sensors that can be thrown into a hazardous space — say, a burning building, a disaster area or a room occupied by gunmen — to transmit panoramic images to a mobile device. <br/><br/>“Every day, leaders face the dilemma of whether to send their teams into dangerous spaces or risk failing a mission if they don’t,” said Young, who served in the U.S. Army. “The inability to see around the corner or into space costs lives. … We remain dedicated to saving these lives.”<br/><br/>With the IDEAS funds, Young said, the team plans to field-test their device with police partners.<br/><br/>Other juried prizes went to teams called PolymerGreen, BlueLight, Increasing Rural Farmers Income, The Universe and More, Hope in Flight, and Biobatts. Three other teams received Community Choice Awards: EducateSyria, LabX, and Aasadeep Projects.</p>

<h3>What is the Thomson Reuters Data Prize?</h3>
<p>The Thomson Reuters Data Prize is a $10,000 prize awarded to a team or teams for which an innovative use of data is core to their business.</p>
<p>The Thomson Reuters Data Prize is part of the MIT $100K Business Plan Contest, but is separate from the competition for the grand prize of $100,000. This used to be called the "Linked Data Prize," but was renamed in 2012 to encourage a broader use of data in innovative businesses. The Data Prize was created to encourage the use of Big Data, Linked Data, and other innovative uses of data in businesses.</p>
<h3>How do we think about data?</h3>
<p>Data is a tool to gain further insight or information to enhance a business. We typically think about data as Big Data, Linked Data, and other innovative uses of data.</p>
<h4>Big Data</h4>
<p>Big Data is about taking a complex set of data that is too large to use normal database tools to manage. Big Data has historically been used to track consumer behavior and trends, evaluate meteorology, genomics, connectomics, complex physics simulations, biological and environmental research, Internet search, finance and business informatics, according to Wikipedia's "Big data" entry. There is no size requirement for big data, but it must meet the first rule about it being "too large" for databases.</p>
<h4>Linked Data</h4>
<p>Linked Data is about using the Web to connect related data that wasn't previously linked, or using the Web to lower the barriers to linking data currently linked using other methods. More specifically, Wikipedia defines Linked Data as "a term used to describe a recommended best practice for exposing, sharing, and connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge on the Semantic Web using URIs and RDF." (Source: <a href="http://www.linkeddata.org/">linkeddata.org</a>)</p>
<h4>Other Innovative Uses of Data</h4>
<p>Data can be used in many creative ways and the contest seeks to encourage that. If teams feel they use data in a new or better way and that they do not use "Linked" or "Big" data, then they should be encourage to apply for this prize.</p>
<h3>Eligibility Criteria</h3>
<p>Teams must be a registered entrant in the MIT $100K Business Plan Contest, and meet all the related qualifying criteria for that contest. A team can participate in any of the 5 industry tracks for this contest, Segal Family Foundation Emerging Markets, Life Sciences, Mobile, Products & Services, and Web/IT. Any team that applies to the MIT $100K Business Plan Contest can be eligible to win the Thomson Reuters Data Prize. Teams eligible for the prize will be evaluated for innovative use of data against a set of judging criteria. The criteria are listed below. Judging will be done by an esteemed industry panel to determine if the business idea meets the below criteria. Winner(s) will be announced at the Finale on May 15, 2012. Prize awards will be a pool of $10,000. The prize could be given to one or multiple teams.</p>
<h3>Judging Criteria</h3>
<p>Teams that qualify for the Thomson Reuters Data Prize will submit an updated 2 page executive summary, an up to 250-word response to the question "how does your business use data in an innovative way?" as well as an optional one "freelance" page to demonstrate use of data in the business. A panel of data and analytics experts will review these materials to determine which team will be awarded the Thomson Reuters Data Prize.</p>
<p>In addition to the standard Business Plan Contest <a href="http://www.mit100k.org/launch/rules.php">Judging Criteria</a>, the teams that qualify for the Thomson Reuters Data Prize will be evaluated on how innovative their use of data is, how central data is to their business, and how impactful the data is in providing the intended service / benefits to their customers.</p>
<h3>Awarding the Thomson Reuters Data Prize</h3>
<p>The winning team will be notified via email on May 9th, 2012. A representative from Thomson Reuters will present the Thomson Reuters Data Prize to the team at the MIT $100K Business Plan Finale in Kresge Auditorium on May 15th from 6 – 9pm. If the team is not already a finalist, the Thomson Reuters Data Prize winner will present a 3-minute pitch during the finale event. Please note that if you are not a Track Winner or Wild Card Finalist, winning the Thomson Reuters Data Prize does not make your team eligible to compete for and win the $100K grand prize.</p>
