Setting the Stage for Innovation
At the heart of TRANSMIXR lies a innovative approach that turns everyday environments into vibrant labs of exploration and discovery. Our Living Lab methodology doesn’t just innovate; it revolutionises how technology is integrated into the real world. By placing users and stakeholders at the centre of our development, we transform them into active participants and co-creators, making each process step a collaborative journey towards creating more meaningful and practical solutions.
TRANSMIXR isn’t just developing technology; we’re setting new standards for how technology can be designed with and for communities, ensuring it acts as a bridge to a more connected, empowered, and culturally enriched world. This dynamic, community-focused approach ensures that as we develop cutting-edge technologies, we remain grounded in the real-world experiences and needs of those who use them. As we progress, we invite you to join us at the intersection of innovation and everyday life, where your experiences directly shape the future of technology.
Living Lab Methodology: A Closer Look
Our development is agile and responsive. From the pre-piloting phase, where we dive deep into user and technical requirements, to robust pilot phase testing in real-world scenarios, each cycle refines and enhances our tools. Our journey culminates in a post-pilot phase that assesses the impact and sets the stage for broader application and adoption.
Pre-pilot
Phase
Requirement Analysis and Co-Creation
Here, the user & technical requirements will be defined, together with the definition and design of the use cases. For each use case, we will employ dedicated co-creation sessions. In these sessions, the specific needs of the user groups will be derived and translated into a set of social, functional and ethical requirements as input for the specification of the use case scenarios and for the technology development. The user and technical requirements will therefore be further discussed and refined in a workshop with all project partners.
Pilot
Phase
Exploration, Experimentation and Evaluation
For each use case, we foresee an iterative approach with three distinct pilot phases.
In a first phase, the developed prototypes will be tested and developed in a more controlled setting. In phase 2 and 3, we move towards an open pilot with a more mature proof of concept, increasing the number of testers accordingly.
Post-pilot
Phase
Impact Assessment, Exploitation Plan and Training Programme
In this phase, we will focus on an overall pilot impact assessment, evaluation of the cross-sectoral transferability of results and stakeholder engagement activities in addition to exploitation activities.
