Innovation Lab
Where the next frontier begins
Experimental research exploring technologies that don't exist yet, or barely do. No deliverables, no deadlines, no clients. Just our best engineers asking the hardest questions in the field. What we learn is written up on Sphere Notes; what graduates becomes part of our services.
Active Research
Big bets on the future
These initiatives have no guaranteed outcome. That's the point. We explore the edges so the industry doesn't have to do it alone.

Experimental Projects
Early-stage explorations
Smaller proofs-of-concept that may, or may not, graduate into full research tracks. We run these in parallel with minimal resource commitment.

Before You Ask
Frequently asked questions
Experimental research exploring technologies that do not exist yet, or barely do. No deliverables, no deadlines, no clients, just our engineers asking the hardest questions in the field.
Research initiatives are the big bets: long-running, no guaranteed outcome, tracked by progress. Experiments are smaller proofs-of-concept, run in parallel with minimal resource commitment.
Experiments may, or may not, graduate into full research tracks. Nothing here carries a guaranteed outcome, and that is what separates the Lab from the work on our services and products pages.
Yes. We partner with universities, enterprise R&D teams, and independent researchers. If you are working on something that belongs at the edge, get in touch.
No. The Lab has no clients and no deliverables by design. If you need something built to a scope and a date, that is our services work rather than the Lab.
