Trumping the travel ban

Exoskeleton packs power

he U.S. travel ban, first introduced by President Donald Trump on travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries and later reversed by U.S. courts, caused concern for many B.C. tech workers. “I can’t do the U.S. anymore,” says Nejeed Kassam, CEO of Vancouver-based Keela, a startup that builds management tools for the non-profit sector. A practising Muslim, Kassam has cancelled two trips to the U.S. since the beginning of the year over concerns he’ll be held up at the border. His story isn’t unlike the ones Simon Fraser University (SFU) Prof. Carman Neustaedter has been hearing the past few months. Neustaedter, who specializes in human-computer interaction at SFU’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology, was

looking to solve some of the uncertainty surrounding travel to the U.S. prior to the ACM computer-human interaction conference in Denver this year. Neustaedter deployed 10 “telepresence robots” that acted as surrogates for up to 35 attendees at the May event. The Segway-like robots have monitors that stream real-time video feeds of users’ faces while they control the robots remotely from a computer.

n the second quarter of 2017, Vancouver’s Bionic Power was in its first production of 100 units of the PowerWalk Kinetic Energy Harvester. The leg-mounted exoskeleton enables users to collect energy to power electronics while they walk. The first run is dedicated for trials with the U.S. army, U.S. marines and Canadian Armed Forces. Bionic Power has already signed two contracts with the U.S. army totalling more than $5 million. The device, which adds approximately one kilogram of weight on each leg, uses a generator to collect kinetic energy, similar to the process in an electric car. Though the PowerWalk isn’t light, it can replace nine kilograms of batteries that a soldier would otherwise have to carry.

Foldable tablet possible

Tiny implant delivers drugs

n inexpensive tablet that you can fold into the size of a cellphone and put in your pocket may soon be possible with a new sensor developed at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The sensor uses a highly conductive gel sandwiched between layers of silicone that can detect different types of touch, including swiping and tapping, even when it is stretched, folded or bent. This feature makes it suited for foldable devices of the future. “There are sensors that can detect pressure, such as the iPhone’s 3D Touch, and some that can detect a hovering finger, like Samsung’s Air View. There are also sensors that are foldable, transparent and stretchable. Our contribution is a device that combines all those functions in one compact package,” says researcher Mirza Saquib Sarwar, a PhD student in electrical and computer

00_BC Tech 2017_01_76 PAGES.indd 6

engineering at UBC. “It’s entirely possible to put sensors on the wall, on the floor or over the surface of the body – almost anything that requires a transparent, stretchable touch screen,” says Sarwar. “And because it’s cheap to manufacture, it could be embedded in disposable wearables.” The sensor could even be integrated in robotic “skins” to make human-robot interactions safer, according to John Madden, Sarwar’s supervisor and a professor in UBC’s faculty of applied science.

tiny new magnetic drug implant, the first of its kind in Canada, could offer a medicinal delivery system without needles or pills. The device, developed by a University of British Columbia (UBC) research team, is a silicone sponge with magnetic carbonyl iron particles wrapped in a round polymer layer, and measures just six millimetres in diameter. The drug is injected into the device and then surgically implanted in the area being treated. Passing a magnet over the patient’s skin activates the device by deforming the sponge and triggering the release of the drug into surrounding tissue through a tiny opening. “Magnetically controlled implants are particularly interesting because you can adjust the dose after implantation by using different magnet strengths. Many other implants lack that feature,” says Ali

Bionic Power CEO Yad Garcha says eventually the PowerWalk could be attractive to commercial and consumer markets, but having the technology “hidden” in clothing fabric may not be a realistic goal. “People need to keep in mind that nanotechnology produces nanowatts of power,” he says, adding users would have to walk six hours for 30 minutes of cellphone talk time.

Shademani, a PhD student in the biomedical engineering program at UBC. The researchers tested their device on animal tissue in the lab using a prostate cancer drug. They found that it was able to deliver the drug on demand even after repeated use. In time, patients could self-administer drugs, according to team leader Mu Chiao, a professor of mechanical engineering. UBC researchers are working on refining the device and narrowing down the conditions for its use.

BC TECH 2017 PUBLISHED BY BUSINESS IN VANCOUVER

THE QUEST: BECOMING A TOP-10 ECOSYSTEM As Silicon Valley has proven, it takes early support from government and a community that embraces risk to create a No. 1 ecosystem BILL TAM |

I British Columbia is on the right path. In the most recent study, Vancouver moved up an impressive three spots in the global startup rankings to No. 15. We scored particularly well in terms of our market reach, proximity to global tech hubs like Silicon Valley and Seattle as well as Asia, and in the areas of talent access and startup experience

t turns out size does matter. In a world in which technology and innovation are fuelling an unprecedented rate of change, winners and losers will be increasingly determined by the size and strength of their ecosystem. This applies not only to companies, but also to the economic success of regions and nations. According to the traditional cluster theory, the development and promotion of clusters of companies can contribute to a nation’s economic productivity. Furthermore, there is international evidence that the growth of technology enterprise – in particular rapid and sustainable growth – depends upon the development of a supportive ecosystem. Over the past decade, the global technology industry has grown at more than twice the rate of the global economy, reaching nearly

$100 trillion in GDP in 2016. British Columbia has mirrored this trend, with the tech sector posting growth rates that have been twice the rate of the province’s economy overall. The challenge, however, is that this rate of growth belies the more fundamental issue of scale. The largest, most successful tech ecosystems globally have captured a disproportionate amount of the value created over this period. It’s similar to the “power law” effect that has shaped technology markets like search, e-commerce and social media. The top three players in each category tend to dominate 40 per cent to 50 per cent of the market and the top 10 players account for 70 per cent to 80 per cent of the market. The power law equally applies to tech ecosystems. In the tech ecosystem market, there are an estimated 300 regions

around the world vying for a larger piece of the pie. The reality, however, is that the top 10 players have continued and will continue to outdistance the rest of the field in the race for market share. Everywhere else, regions will fall further behind. Startup Genome’s 2017 Global Startup Ecosystem Report illustrated how the top 10 ecosystems accounted for nearly 80 per cent of the total value. T he good news is that British Columbia is on the right path. In the most recent study, Vancouver moved up an impressive three spots in the global startup rankings to No. 15. We scored particularly well in terms of our market reach, proximity to global tech hubs like Silicon Valley and Seattle as well as Asia, and in the areas of talent access and startup experience.

underscores the importance of investing in and cultivating stronger ecosystems, suggesting that “ecosystems develop along a life cycle, and in each phase of the life cycle ecosystems have different strengths and weaknesses. Scarce resources must be focused on the right actions at the right time for maximum impact in increasing ecosystem performance.” British Columbia has always been known for cultivating a strong startup environment. With the emergence (and arrival) of more global successes in B.C., we’ve seen the acceleration effects of increased globalization and a steady maturation of our ecosystem. But the jou rney has on ly just begun. As a relatively small tech jurisdiction, we must unpack the challenge of becoming a top-10

global tech ecosystem in order to give our quest focus and urgency. We have some of the most committed support organizations, entrepreneurs and corporate champions anywhere, and the objective will be for us to continue to build collaborative frameworks wherein the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. T he success of Silicon Valley wasn’t created overnight. Although it’s often cited as a shining example of unregulated free enterprise, the reality is that it benefited from tens of billions of dollars of government investment early in its development and a community that undertook a nd embraced risk. As a n ecosystem that is more than twice as old as the B.C. ecosystem, Silicon Valley actually serves to illustrate the importance of proactive policy, concerted private programs and

collaboration among stakeholders. As Brad Feld opined in his book, Startup Communities, it takes about 20 years for a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem to develop in a city or region. According to BCTechBase.com, we’re halfway there. The next few years will determine just how and how fast we can become the top-10 player that we deserve to be.

“The increase demonstrates that companies are growing and prioritizing retention to keep their employees engaged,” the company notes. Tech jobs with the highest salary increase since 2015 include: ■Product development managers, up 16.5 per cent; ■Sales managers, up 10.5 per cent; and ■Senior animators, up 7.6 per cent. The 2016 BC Tech Salary Survey, conducted for HR Tech Group in partnership with Willis Towers Watson, includes data on about 15,904 individual salaries from 112 companies. “Tech salaries in B.C. are growing faster than the national average,” says Allison Rutherford, executive director of HR Tech Group. “In 25 years of conducting the BC Tech Salary Survey we have not seen such large salary increases. This demonstrates what tech companies across the province are experiencing first-hand: there is increasing competition for tech talent in B.C.” This year’s survey expanded to include British Columbia’s growing visual effects/animation industry. Ten major film and/or animation companies took part in the survey, including Sony Pictures Imageworks, Industrial Light & Magic and Technicolor’s MPC. Some of the highest salaries in that industry include specialist lighting artists and visual effects artists ($105,000 per year) and senior animators ($93,000 per year). “Vancouver is being seen as a key tech centre globally – we’ve had multiple tech companies put offices here now, and with the low Canadian dollar, our tech talent is relatively cheap. This will drive further salary increases for our region,” Rutherford says. While visual effects and animation jobs are finding their place among the top paying jobs in B.C., more traditional technology positions in the software industry remain lucrative and also saw steady gains. Junior software developers with two to four years’ experience earned an average of $75,400 last year, up from $73,000 in 2015. With four or more years of experience behind them, senior software developers earned an average of $93,900 a year, up 5.4 per cent from the previous year.

WHERE THE TECH JOBS ARE Four billion jobs in the world are related to technology and not all of them require sophisticated tech knowledge

MICHAEL IZEN |

This is a show-me industry, and what they want is results. Demonstrated experience often trumps paper

ver 100 years ago, the advice for young go-getters looking to make their fortune was “Go west!” Fifty years ago, in The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman received the sage career advice of “plastics.” Today, we advise our kids to get into the world of technology. In her recent column on Inc.com, Minda Zetlin gives six reasons your next job should be at a tech company, even if you have no tech skills. She cites a recent study that shows four billion jobs in the world are related to technology, twice what it was less than 20 years ago. Tech is definitely trending. But what are those four billion jobs? A nd what i f you a ren’t a techie? What if you’re like Homer Simpson, and me, and search the keyboard in vain for the “any” key? To make some sense of this, I spoke with Jag Bains, CTO of DOSarrest Internet Security, a B.C. company that includes Queen Elizabeth II as a client. Bains identified four broad groups of jobs within the Internet technology sector: development, systems administration, IT networking and support, plus a wide range of non-tech jobs within the sector for people like me. DEVELOPMENT Q These are the people who design and code the websites and apps we use, both the front-end look and the back-end operations and databases. These people work in one of many coding languages. Developers work for business solutions companies and consultants, and for small, medium-sized and large businesses. SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR Q

These people link computers at our workplaces, schools and other businesses to make sure the servers, our

00_BC Tech 2017_01_76 PAGES.indd 12

desktops, laptops and hand-held devices play nice together. They are in high demand by medium-sized to large businesses with in-house computer systems, everything from law firms, to schools, to hospitals, to government agencies. IT NETWORKING Q These people work with the systems administrators to make sure that the internal system is connected to the larger networks outside. For example, when you buy gas at the pump, it’s the IT network that links your gas station with your bank, so the cash goes to where it’s supposed to go. Or think of purchasing systems where retailers can order directly from manufacturers, computer to computer, and where consumers can buy goods online without ever leaving the house. Employers include banks, retailers, wholesalers – any business or organization that links its computer with any other business. These days, that’s most everything. T hese people a re of ten most familiar as we call them for help when we can’t get our computers or system to work. They must have people skills, the patience of Job and a broad range of tech skills in order to troubleshoot problems. While not experts in any of the fields listed above, they must know enough about each to provide the required service. These well-rounded workers can often be hard to find. To work in this field requires degrees and advanced degrees in math, computer sciences and engineering, or a variety of technology certificates and diplomas. But this is a show-me industry, and what they want is results. Demonstrated experience often trumps paper. Can you point to a platform that showcases your work?

NON-TECH JOBS Q Technology companies also need non-techies in marketing, human resources and corporate services to keep the company rolling. In fact, despite all the high-tech skills and equipment, for most IT companies the largest parts of their budgets are in marketing. They need people to help build the public interface of the platform and to help figure out how this great new tool actually serves a customer. They also need customer relations and sales, strategic marketing to link the product with the campaign, and search engine optimization, which actually does not require the tech skills. To see what employers want, look at the job postings; the BC Tech Association has a great job postings website that lists both tech jobs and jobs for non-techies, www. bctechjobs.ca. Big employers like Bell, Telus, Rogers and Peer 1 are always scouting top talent. But don’t forget the organizations with IT departments like schools, hospitals, governments or big businesses like franchise operations for retailers, restaurants, gas stations and others. Almost every business relies on Internet technology, and they all require people in these jobs. So the next time you find yourself considering a new challenge, think tech.

SFU STARTUP PATENTS ROBOTIC HIP

uman in Motion Robotics founder Soheil Sadeqi, who is originally from Iran, knows exactly the image conjured whenever he mentions the word “exoskeleton.” “When you’re talking about exoskeletons, the very first thing that comes into people’s minds is the Iron Man movies; that is fiction,” he says. But Sadeqi’s company, started out of Simon Fraser University (SFU), is offering another step towards Tony Stark-like mobility with a new exoskeleton that offers a full range of motion for the body’s most complex joint – the hip. He’s received an international patent for his idea, and says the goal is to continue to offer people who are confined to a wheelchair a chance to get out, stand up and even walk around. “When you speak with people with

disabilities they are kind of fed up with the wheelchairs and not being able to do normal tasks and not having confidence,” Sadeqi says. “The aim is forgetting about the wheelchair and getting towards a better assistant device for these users.” Sadeqi’s company was one of a number of startups birthed though SFU’s Venture Connection program that will receive $1 million from Surrey-based Coast Capital Savings. Sarah Lubik, SFU’s director of entrepreneurship, says Coast Capital’s venture program started in 2008 and has helped 500 student teams get ideas from the classroom to the business world. “It is critical that innovators have a friendly entry point to engage with the university and the community,” Lubik says.

TOUGH PATH BC Securities Commission launches team to guide financial technology firms into the legal light

Every small, growing fintech company is constrained in terms of resources. So every decision to put yourself in a more regulated position is taken very carefully because if it’s going to suck up all your resources, you might not have time for it

00_BC Tech 2017_01_76 PAGES.indd 16

epresenting a Vancouver-based financial technology firm in its bid to secure a stock market listing through a reverse takeover should be straightforward. But lawyer Christine Duhaime recalls it turned into a costly ordeal for one of her clients.

“They had a million roadblocks. Questions after questions after questions after reviews. And they finally withdrew,” says the Vancouver-based lawyer and executive director of the Digital Finance Institute. Duhaime adds that her client was already $250,000 in the hole in brokerage and accounting fees. She says the story has turned into legend through the Vancouver tech community, and not many fintechs have much interest in getting listed anymore. “Canada, to be honest, is really slow getting behind the whole idea of fintech and trying to be supportive on a regulatory front.” But Duhaime says provincial regulators appear to be on the right track following the January 24 launch of a dedicated “tech team” to assist fintechs with navigating regulations. The BC Securities Commission’s (BCSC) four-person team is composed of members of the regulator’s corporate, finance and capital markets teams. The BCSC also launched a new fintech web page and is surveying industry members.

Mark Wang, the BCSC’s director of capital markets regulation, says the regulator is trying to get a sense of the challenges businesses face and gauge industry awareness of regulations. “We’re seeing a lot more coming our way that’s technology- and fintech-related than what we were seeing five, 10 years ago,” he says. “It’s just a sea change.” In 2010, there were five fintechs operating in B.C. That number has grown to 29, according to BC Tech Association figures. The BCSC’s initiative follows that of the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), which began a similar review in 2016. It includes a fintech advisory board and discussion sessions with fintechs operating in Ontario. “It is early days. As I’ve said to other people, we’re not a substitute for legal advice. We’re providing the benefit of our regulatory experience, and I think that’s where businesses are really seeing a benefit,” says OSC LaunchPad chief Pat Chaukos. “That’s always the challenge as a regulator in terms of managing expectations. Up to now we’ve been able

to meet with most firms, and I think they’re coming in to talk to us at a very early stage, which is a good thing.” She says if the OSC isn’t in contact with a fintech until late in an online platform’s development, it can become prohibitively expensive for the company to build in compliances. “We’ve also had firms come in with legal counsel because obviously we’re looking at very new technology – this is a new space for all of us, including professional advisers. So we’re all learning and figuring out what’s the best way to go forward to allow these businesses to operate but at the same time make sure we’re building in investor protection measures.” Merchant Advance Capital CEO David Gens says he’s pleased the regulator is taking steps to reach out more proactively to fintechs. “Every small, growing fintech company is constrained in terms of resources. So every decision to put yourself in a more regulated position is taken very carefully because if it’s going to suck up all your resources, you might not have time for it. We’re always making sure we’re on the safe side of the equation. We’re not trying to ask for forgiveness later.” But both Gens and Duhaime say many fintechs face hurdles to becoming successful in Canada because they have to deal with different regulators and different rules in each province. “Nobody from anywhere … wants to come and deal with 10 different securities regulators,” says Duhaime, acting spokeswoman for the Fintech Association of Canada. “Whether they like it or not, [regulators] all need to get into a room for the sake of technology in Canada and figure this out.” Globally, the fintech market is worth an estimated US$13 trillion and is ready for exploitation, Duhaime notes. “There is a massive global opportunity awaiting us, especially in Vancouver. British Columbia is well positioned to capitalize on this market if we step up and seize the opportunity,” she says. É

F RISE O ROBOTS SHAKY

Future of robots more likely in health and safety applications than in serving a martini

PAT JOHNSON

obots are really good at repetitive actions. The assembly line Henry Ford invented is a series of rote actions – ripe picking for robotics. Repetition is one reason why the automotive industry has been a focal point of robotics. Another is size. Robotics have generally involved big machinery, which is fine for an auto plant but less so for, say, an apartment’s galley kitchen.

LiveDrive arm and hand developed by B.C.’s Genesis Robotics: exoskeleton permits more detailed, human-like precision | SUBMITTTED

00_BC Tech 2017_01_76 PAGES.indd 18

The size issue is being addressed by Vancouver’s Genesis Robotics, which has created the LiveDrive, a robotic actuator that plays the role of a robot’s body. In the way the transistor revolutionized radio, LiveDrive is intended to bypass the equipment-heavy components that have limited robotics’ uses primarily to industrial applications. Just a few centimetres thick, LiveDrive is envisioned by its developers for exoskeletons, which would permit more detailed, human-like precision. Still, those who expected by now to have an equivalent of Rosie the Robot, the Jetsons’ multi-tasking maid and housekeeper, are disappointed. Such efforts have proved either unsatisfactory or uneconomic. The Chinese

robotics firm Ewaybot is preparing to launch Moro, described as a highly advanced robot butler and maybe the closest thing yet to Rosie. But at US$30,000 for the fourfoot-high, two-armed bot, most of us will continue reaching for our own tissues and pouring our own martinis. We already have a lot of robotics doing menial, repetitive tasks. There are robotic swimming pool cleaners, floor cleaners and lawn mowers. Robotic pets for people with dementia are a decade old now. Voice-activated technology that sets the mood in your home by controlling the lighting and music, as well as more mundane matters like setting and disarming the alarm system, are already being taken for granted by early adopters. Smart cars – those with techy bells and whistles all

the way to self-driving vehicles – are common, or soon will be. The latter remain controversial because, among other things, artificial intelligence will replace human decision-making on little details like whether to run over a dog – or a human – rather than risk the safety of the occupants, something ethicists call the “trolley problem.” Overall, science is spending less time on a Rosiebot who will greet you at the door of your skypad with a martini than on applying technology to the most important work humankind does – saving lives. Prof. Shahram Payandeh, of Simon Fraser University’s School of Engineering Science, is working on robotics that help keep the elderly safe and healthy – a big deal, especially since the census just reported that the fastest-growing demographic in Canada is over age 65. Payandeh is raising funds for a prototype that would bring together a range of already existing technologies into a unified platform so that, for example, if a senior doesn’t answer a Skype call, the robot might move throughout the home to find the person and ensure he or she is OK. It could also alert caregivers or family if the fridge or front door is left open or the oven has been left on. To reach economies of scale, such things would need to be networked, the way home alarm systems currently are, he says. An additional challenge is developing the intelligence to identify anomalies, such as when an individual who usually naps from 1 to 3 in the afternoon hasn’t stirred by 4 o’clock. Prof. Elizabeth Croft, of the University of British

Almost as soon as robot technology was available, so-called “sex tech” popped up to meet perceived demand. Few youngsters broke their libidinous teeth fantasizing about Rosie the Robot or HAL, but it may be way easier to find sex appeal in the 21st-century “sex bots” now on offer. Some models resemble human-sized Barbies, with blinking vacant eyes and hair that can presumably be stroked and set, if that’s your thing. The latest sex robots boast what earlier versions could not: virtual reality that includes vocalization, as if Siri were able to provide more than just idle conversation. One new version that will be released next year, the US$15,000 RealDoll from California-based Abyss Creations, even has a pulse and strategic heating.

Columbia’s mechanical engineering department, is involved in a project with the university’s kinesiology department, involving human balance. “We have created a robotic immersive balancing simulation that allows researchers to play around with the human control system,” she says. By putting different inputs affecting motion, vision and muscle stimulation, researchers can safely experiment with the human balance control system. “We would apply stimulation to their inner ear and that changes their sense of balance … so they can experience regular balance,” Croft says. “We effectively change gravity on them.” É

Vancouver students battle global robots

wenty-two students from Vancouver’s Gladstone Secondary School competed this April in the VEX Robotics World Championship in Louisville, Kentucky. The 10th annual event attracted 20,000 students from 30 countries to battle for robot supremacy. Gladstone sent three teams, joining five other provincial finalists from across B.C. “This is an arms race within a totally

interconnected world,” says Gladstone robotics teacher Paul Wallace. “The world championships are a huge event for these kids.” The 2017 task required robots to pick up and throw as many objects as far as possible on a playing field that resembles a miniature volleyball court. “It’s really overwhelming, but also very interesting,” says Denise Chan, a Grade 12 student competing in her fourth world championship.

The robots are roughly a foot and a half in height and made of aluminum. They’re controlled remotely and each robot is assigned a team of six: drivers, coaches and scouts, who have the specific task of checking out the competition. Gladstone won the competition in 2012 and Chan’s team nabbed sixth place last year. In this year’s event, held in late April, the Gladstone team took 24th place out of 585 teams, Wallace says.

MONITORING BUILDINGS Smartphones set to replace archaic key cards – and facial recognition is getting a closer look

PATRICK BLENNERHASSETT

BRADY CARTHY VICE-PRESIDENT, PALADIN SECURITY

I’ve got a card for my fitness club, I’ve got a card for my building, I’ve got a card for my condo. So now I’m able to sort of migrate those three into one, so instead of carrying around three cards I can just do everything through my phone

00_BC Tech 2017_01_76 PAGES.indd 22

t seems like only a matter of time before mobile phones fully integrate themselves into every aspect of our lives – if they haven’t already. The latest trend to hit Vancouver comes via Paladin Security, which recently rolled out mobile access technology in a number of commercial buildings in downtown Vancouver, including Telus Garden, Shaw Tower and Westbank’s Vancouver office at 1067 West Cordova Street. With the technology integrated into the existing access control systems in the buildings, employees can now download an app (HID Global being the most commonly used one) through a tenant access link. Thus workers can forgo the key card and simply use their phones to gain access to the building and various areas through technology similar to tap pay. Brady Carthy, vice-president for Paladin Security, says the idea is simple: increase convenience via the Internet of Things trend by applying it to building access systems. “It applies to all current card reader applications,” says Carthy. “So like myself, I’ve got a card for my fitness club, I’ve got a card for my building, I’ve got a card for my condo. So now I’m able to sort of migrate those three into one, so instead of carrying around three cards I can just do everything through my phone.” The actual technology used at the card readers is called Bluetooth low-energy ID credentials, and there is an added layer of security: users cannot utilize the technology unless their phone is unlocked, meaning a thief

who steals a phone and tries to enter a building will be unable to do so without the phone’s lock screen password. Carthy calls the commercial building sector “the low-hanging fruit” that benefits the most from this technology given its high amount of daily traffic coming and going from the building during working hours; however, he imagines residential units shouldn’t be too far behind in adopting the technology. Paladin currently has two more pilot projects in the works for the mobile ID technology, including one with Teck Resources, which is a tenant at Bentall 5 on Burrard Street, as well as a local country club. Carthy says it’s also an added convenience for the issuers of the IDs, as employers can now forgo the sometimes time-consuming process of handing out cards to new employees and retrieving cards from employees when they cease working for the company. Traditional magnetic and proximity card reader technology is fast becoming archaic, Carthy says, noting that sites such as Craigslist list services to duplicate

the cards for a price. Right now Paladin Security also has facial recognition technology for some of its high-end residential units, and Paladin’s Burnaby office also uses facial recognition for its employees. Ted Reid, Paladin’s chief financial officer, who has worked for the company since 2006, says facial recognition technology is obviously a different beast than something like a smartphone app. “It’s definitely a challenge with society,” says Reid in talking about the rise of privacy concerns as the global security industry jumped 7.4 per cent last year to $244 billion. The industry’s growth appears to be in lockstep with numerous technological advancements such as closed-circuit television systems and military-grade laser motion detector sensors. Paladin itself has also been booming, growing from 1,000 to 10,000 employees over the past decade and overseeing an expansion into 16 American states. A recent announcement by Vancouver’s Optigo Networks and the Chicago-based Contemporary Controls also shows how technology is integrating large-scale building controls into one operating system. The idea takes technology like the Rogers Smart Home Monitoring app – which allows users to remotely control the heat, lock or unlock the doors and set up live video streaming – and applies it to commercial buildings, allowing product integration that will control lighting, heating, ventilation and the security of commercial buildings on site or remotely. Over the past year, Optigo Networks has been recognized as the BC Tech Association’s most promising startup, and it collected a new product showcase award at the 2015 International Security Conference. More recently, the company’s CEO, Pook-Ping Yao, was named

one of Business in Vancouver’s top Forty under 40. Muneesh Sharma, director of government affairs and communications for the Building Owners and Managers Association of British Columbia, says the new mobile monitoring and security technology is coming at a very opportune time. He notes the association – which represents an estimated three million square feet of commercial space across the province – has scheduled an upcoming educational seminar on security essentials for buildings. Sharma says there is now an expectation from the public that technological upgrades be consistently integrated into every aspect of everyday life, including building entry systems. “The technology is changing so much, and the industry is going to have to keep up and learn how to deal with it,” says Sharma.

or a nascent industry like virtual reality (VR), 17 million headsets hitting the global market during the 2010s is no small sum. But does investing in the VR hardware business hold much promise for British Columbia’s fast-growing VR industry? Not really, according to OMERS Ventures associate Prashant Matta, who was in Vancouver this March to speak at the second annual BC Tech Summit. “If you look at hardware and accessories, it’s more likely than not they’ll be controlled by large manufacturers,” he told an audience gathered for panels focused on B.C.’s digital media industry. “Where I see opportunities is top of the stack, where you see emerging content and applications.” In Metro Vancouver, VR and augmented reality (AR) firms like Finger Food Studios, Archiact and LNG Studios are developing products ranging from VR tours of condos still under construction to AR content that visualizes life-size tractor-trailers in need of redesign. Finger Food Studios CEO Ryan Peterson says his company had a run rate of $20 million in 2016. Five years earlier, the Port Coquitlam firm generated just $380,000 in revenue. Meanwhile, Matta’s venture capital firm has found B.C. to be ahead of every other jurisdiction in Canada when getting its products to market.

OMERS Ventures surveyed more than 200 companies involved in Canada’s VR industry, including more than 50 companies in B.C., and found B.C. firms have 87 VR/AR products either in the prototype stage or on the market. Of those West Coast VR products, 51 per cent are on the market either for free or already generating revenue. Among Ontario firms it’s 34 per cent, and for Quebec firms it’s 46 per cent. But in terms of volume, Ontario is still outpacing B.C., with 138 products either in the prototype stage or on the market. Ontario also holds a big advantage over B.C. when it comes to one of the most critical issues all tech firms are facing: the limited talent pool. The number of employees captured in the survey comes to 654 in Ontario. In B.C., it’s 344, while Quebec has 309 VR workers. “I was surprised by the numbers,” Anne-Marie Enns, producer of May’s Consumer Virtual Reality expo in Vancouver, says when asked about the Matta data. Enns, who also works at Archiact, believes B.C. will soon pull away from other jurisdictions in terms of VR content production and head count due to its background in film and visual effects. One literal route to this virtual growth may be found in B.C’s booming real estate market.

When LNG Studios was hired last spring to help promote the Concord Pacific Brentwood condominium project in Burnaby, the tech firm gave away 10,000 VR Concord-branded headsets. The headset giveaways weren’t just a pricey upgrade on the free calendars or pens realtors usually hand out. LNG Studios spent weeks creating a lifelike virtual reality experience for the condo project before any physical walls were built. The free headsets went to real estate agents and potential homeowners looking to walk through the condo pre-sales. “Our first launch was in Shanghai and Hong Kong,” says Leon Ng, founder and CEO of LNG Studios. “So we gave away the headsets there so they could visualize the properties in Vancouver.” LNG Studios has since developed a second VR experience for a Concord condo project in Toronto and held workshops last year with James K.M. Cheng Architects Inc. and Kasian Architecture. “It’s going to be a great way to reach foreign buyers, especially in our local market here,” says realtor Matthew Ryan of Sutton Group Seafair Realty. “We have so many buyers now coming from China and different places [and now] they don’t even need to come here.” California-based Realtor.com, which has its Android

SMARTER, FLEXIBLE, INVISIBLE

WEARABLES Nanotechnology merges tech with fabrics and flesh

BAILA LAZARUS

dip into the world of new wearable tech still churns up the usual suspects: smart goggles, wrist gizmos and virtual reality headsets. But several B.C.-based companies are moving off accessories into new genres of wearables, many of which fall into m-health – the use of mobile devices to monitor and communicate health information. Vitali Wear’s Smart Bra, which reached its $50,000 Kickstarter goal in May, has sensors that are woven through the fabric to collect information about heart rate, breathing and posture. It then feeds the information to a small control pad (the Gem) that attaches to the outside of the bra. If the Gem receives information that the user is slouching, or has been sitting for a long time, it buzzes, prompting the user to change position. If breathing or heart rate suggests that the user is getting stressed, the Gem prompts the user to do breathing exercises. Vitali founder Cindy Gu started thinking about the product two years ago as a means to help her own health needs. “I needed a tool to be more aware of my body, especially when showing signs of stress,” says Gu, a yoga instructor who formed her entrepreneurial team while she was studying at the University of British Columbia (UBC). “I wanted

00_BC Tech 2017_01_76 PAGES.indd 27

to take yoga practices off the mat and into daily habits.” Gu’s team designed Vitali to be several steps above their competitors, particularly due to its ability to monitor heart rate variability – changes in pattern of an individual’s heart rate, which reflect stress levels. Also tapping into the field of health, specifically in the area of industrial accident prevention, is the ErgoSenz by LifeBooster. Composed of motion-capture sensors similar to those used in film and video game studios, the ErgoSenz identifies early indicators that an injury might occur. Data is collected and fed through a cloud-based risk evaluation system. Unlike with the Vitali, immediate information is not sent to the users, as it might be too dangerous to distract them while they are lifting items or doing other industrial

work. Instead, the data analysis helps uncover patterns of dangerous activities, incorrect postures and repetitive strain functions, enabling changes to be made before the injuries occur. “Musculoskeletal injuries are the largest injury type and their numbers haven’t been decreasing,” notes LifeBooster founder and CEO Bryan Statham, who says these types of workplace injuries cost companies approximately US$21 billion a year. “There’s a huge demand for self-quantification – understanding how our bodies move, how we respond to risk factors,” says Statham. “So that’s where we focus our efforts.” The most important factor for useful analytics, according to Statham, is the ability to capture information continuously to see cumulative risks throughout the day, which is limited now and takes a lot of time and money to obtain. “With new wearables that can be done quickly and effectively.”

While Vitali and LifeBooster are incorporating invisible sensor technology, they still rely on the hard plastic control mechanism to collect and relay data. At UBC’s Flexible Electronics and Energy Lab, the focus is at the nanotechnology level. Its STITCH – smart textile innovations for technology connected health – program focuses on bringing together nanotechnology in smart clothing with the needs of health care. “Wearable technology could monitor patients’ behaviours after strokes or cardiac patients after they are released from hospital to get a better understanding of how the patient is progressing,” says electrical engineering professor Peyman Servati. “This is something that could impact health-care costs. “Right now, most of these technologies are in the form of rigid technology, but down the road, it’s going to be easier to integrate, more invisible and more comfortable to use.” É

From name-calling to pressure to dress down to not being invited to “hang with the guys,” some women in Vancouver’s technology scene have bumped up against what could be called a “bro culture”. “Certainly in my career, I have very often and more than once been told that I cannot join the boys club, very directly,” says Hess. “When you think about it, what does that really mean?” Call it the updated version of the Old Boys club – replace the cigars with beer, the golf with gaming, and swap out grey hairs for grey hoodies. The open-concept, beer-pong-friendly office spaces – and the talent they attract – won’t serve as the backdrop for every company in Vancouver’s 800-to-1,100-strong startup ecosystem. It’s a stereotype. But culture of cool, or the “cult mentality,” as Sanaz Jahanbakhsh puts it, can feel pervasive, and very real. “I would classify it as: ‘You don’t really fit into the culture, so you don’t really get invited to meet after hours, at after-work events or after-work hangouts.’ Where actually a lot of the bonding happens,” explains the

director of software development at Control, a startup specializing in mobile payment analytics and alerts for e-commerce businesses. “So again, it kind of gets you into the sense that you don’t belong in this space,” she says, adding she has wanted to quit software engineering multiple times throughout her career. Like Hess, Jahanbakhsh is a leader at her company. But as the leader of a team of eight male software engineers, she finds her options for engagement are limited. “I don’t really feel like I really have the power to change much, because if I suggest, ‘Oh guys, let’s go to an art show,’ the responses of saying yes to that is going to be zero per cent.” According to the Vancouver Economic Commission, more than 100,000 individuals work in B.C.’s technology industry, and around three-quarters of them are concentrated in Vancouver. A study by Canadian Women in Communications and Technology has found women in information and communications technology are outnumbered three to one; across the board,

Tech women brave bro culture

As director of software development at Vancouverbased Control, Sanaz Jahanbakhsh oversees eight male employees, but feels the ability to drive her team’s culture is out of her control | HAYLEY WOODIN

BROS, GROW UP Two hundred women working in Silicon Valley’s technology industry for at least 10 years were asked about their experiences in a 2015 Stanford University survey

84%

Were told they were “too aggressive”

75%

Were asked about their marital status and children in interviews

66%

Felt left out from important networking events because of their gender

60%

Reported unwanted sexual advances

47%

Had been asked to do lower-level tasks, like fetching sandwiches

Canadian Women in Communications and Technology has women making up just 24 per cent of the country’s advanced technology workforce – 17 per cent are in core technology roles. “Because it’s male-dominated, it gets that male-dominated sticker,” says Hess, who has seen the share of female employees at Copperleaf rise from 10 per cent about seven years ago to 33 per cent today. “I think that’s great progress, but it’s not 50 per cent,” she says. “Our pool is just smaller, so it’s hard to move the needle when the pool is smaller.” On the condition of anonymity so that she could speak freely without professional repercussions, one woman describes seeing female colleagues repeatedly passed over for ideas – thoughts that would then be pitched to the boss without giving credit where credit was due. She also describes working at companies where drinking, games and long hours make up the macho company culture. “When you add drinking after work to that kind of culture, I think it just kind of makes things almost like you kind of have to like that culture,” she says. “Sometimes awkward shit happens, and you still have to go to work the next day.” Bro culture specifically aside, Rocky Ozaki, co-founder of Now Innovations, tells BC Tech that technology companies big and small are facing a big challenge to recruit and retain top talent, both male and female. The key to doing so is creating an inviting and engaging culture. “It’s not just about being innovative and agile; it’s actually about creating cultures that resonate with the connected generation, or we’re going to lose out on top talent,” he says. “When the Google and the Facebooks of the world started to publish [details about] their offices and their cultures, it did put pressure downward across the whole tech sector,” he says, adding that he sees startups feeling the pressure to be unique, and to do so on a cashstrapped budget. But taking an innovative, critical and proactive approach to designing cultures may be the solution to employment challenges. “There are some things that don’t cost a lot of money that are creating more highly engaged cultures than bringing in the beer taps,” Ozaki says.
