Why this matters in The Waco
The breakthrough technology developed by Baylor University professor Corey Carbonara and his team at 6P Color Inc. has the potential to put Waco on the map as a hub for innovation in the tech industry. With the possibility of 6P Color reaching consumer televisions, phones, and computers within the next few years, local residents may soon be able to experience a wider range of colors on their personal devices.
