Innovation and its implementation
faberNovel is dedicated to innovation and its implementation. Our clients decide to call on us to handle any aspect of an innovation-linked project. We link together concepts, talents, technologies and the appropriate market to allow our clients, start-ups and industrial groups alike, to create prototypes or enable innovative companies to define and lead for successful strategies focused on innovation and development.
From idea to concept, to prototype, and to actual implementation, faberNovel applies its professional expertise, its specific innovation know how all the way to the launching of new products and services.
Strategic Experiments
Experimenting strategies is the core business of faberNovel XP. Imagining new concepts for products and services, working out experimental protocols, developing, testing and validating prototypes is what they do.
faberNovel Prototype assists contracting authorities (in expressing their needs) or acts as project manager (up to the implementation phase).
Development through innovation
Deconstructing/Reconstructing of value chains, disintermediation, emerging of new economic models or racing for setting standards; these are some significant examples of the changes companies need to grasp and anticipate in order to turn them to their advantage. From identifying opportunities to designing new products or innovating services, faberNovel assists its clients every step of the way, from conceiving to implementing their development strategy.
faberNovel Inc, American subsidiary
faberNovel strengthened its position in the Silicon Valley in January 2007 when it created its American subsidiary faberNovel Inc.
The PariSoMa offices are based in the heart of the digital capital and Paris sister city of San Francisco, keeping a constant contact with the vanguard of ICT, design, and environmental technology...
Urban Mobs
Objectives: Leading telco in France, Orange possesses countless mobile activity-related data. However, such data is also very difficult to structure and consequently to exploit.
Taking example on MIT’s “Real Time Rome” experimentation, faberNovel presented Orange Labs with the idea of creating a tool that would generate a dynamic visual representation of mobile phone activity.
From this concept was born Urban Mobs, a jointly conducted research by Orange Labs and faberNovel. Based on their mobile phone communications (SMS, calls, handovers), it allows to analyze and visualize the urban population activity.
Technology description: The final visual display should meet functional, technical and also esthetic requirements, so faberNovel defined a comprehensive protocol starting with the extraction of data and ending with their display on a dynamic interface. This production line minimizes visualizations’ realization time.
Urban Mobs is a 3 step-solution:
- Mobile phones data collection
Orange teams in Europe have provided faberNovel with high definition mobile communications data. Information on 6 European cities was collected in a normalized format.
- Data processing
faberNovel ‘s data processing methodology allows a flexible configuration and tuning
- Visualizations realizations
The final step consists in the esthetic mise-en-scene of data. The visualizations were produced by faberNovel thanks to Hell Heaven, the 3D engine developed by Persistant Studio, under the artistic direction of Paul Coudamy.
In this project, faberNovel has built on its:
- knowledge and expertise in information design and dynamic mapping technologies
- reactivity and capacity to rapidly gather a team of experts, analysts and designers
Results: Urban Mobs, the popular emotions cartography, was presented at the Grand Palais in Paris in December 2008 within the framework of “Dans la nuit, des images” an exhibition dedicated to visual and digital European arts.
Urban Mobs show how 6 European cities liven up during major popular events such as : the World Music Day in France, the St. John's Night in Poland or a football match,in Spain and Romania. Watch all visualizations on: www.urbanmobs.fr
