TriPle SMART LABS is an Innovation Lab - Network
We are an innovation hub with a new vision for citizen driven science (or in academic speak – human centered design). In this future, we put the end user, where they belong, in the driver’s seat.
We assemble, sort and analyze humanity’s Plan A. We then empower individual contributors to design and test drive our future.
We value efficiency and transparency, which is why our labs are based on shared hardware and shared results.
We are squarely moving away from a one-size-fits all world and into a world of self actualization, hyper personalization, and renaissance thinking.
We believe in making an all-access research platform, hardware share lab and think tank map for the future, real. We are started with node #1 – Cordoba, Argentina in November 2018 and we are now launching node #2 in Venice, CA at the Feminine Intelligence HQ.
EMBEDDED INNOVATION
Triple Smart Labs focuses on low cost, high value research using the following methodology:
Sharing hardware and software within existing organizations who have strong communities, such as universities, companies, co-working spaces, community spaces, art galleries etc. Unlike a traditional maker space model, this configuration helps to mix cutting edge technology with powerful purpose and “why”.
Successful experiments (and the hardware associated) can then be rotated to a new organization to continue gathering data, depth and momentum.
Donors can track the hardware they have contributed and the number of times it has been used. For example a single research grade Muse headset which is valued at $250 might get used by 100 people in 3 months.
Infrastructure to allow individuals to request hardware or other types of support (space, money, people, expertise, software) via a wishlist based on their purpose and proposed experiments.
PROTOTYPE
In winter of 2018, Triple Smart Labs took brain sensing headbands, podcasting gear, virtual reality headsets and electrophotonic imaging equipment to share in Cordoba, Argentina.
