An all in one workspace that combines the best parts of a desktop computer and a desk to form the ultimate workspace experience.
This project will only be funded if at least $30,000 is pledged by .
Workspaces are messy and cluttered. They are filled with so many devices that take up way more surface area. It is such a hassle to disconnect all of the cables and wires, not to mention tearing down the desk itself. All of this impacts the user experience. We believe the user experience can and should be improved. So we are doing just that.
What goes into a workspace? How does this affect the user and the experience? Will integrating a device change this? These are all questions we have asked over and over again and we believe we came up with an answer: SPACE.
When we asked users what they disliked about their existing workspaces. The most common feedback was that there were messy wires everywhere. We discovered the issue comes from all of the different devices that are connected to a typical desktop. Speakers, microphones, webcams and even monitors all have different cables and wires for data and power, and this can quickly add up. Cable management systems and even all in one computers have taken small steps to solve this, but usually this is at the cost of functionality.
Our conclusion was that the best way to solve these problems is resorting to do it right the first time by designing a product that implemented these devices at their full size without interfering with the users workspace, and with as little cables as possible. But we didn't stop there...
One thing that became prevalent is when we talked to users about their workspaces was the importance of interacting with their content. We studied the different ways people did this with their own setups, and we took the best solutions we found and implemented them into SPACE.
Some of these solutions included a 24-inch touchscreen attached to a mechanism that can extend vertically and horizontally, adding a breath of functionality to what has been an otherwise static solution for the monitor. We also put it at the front and center so whatever your working on is always the primary focus of your workspace.
Why does this matter? Well, if you think about it when you are more focused on your work you can accomplish more, and this means you are more productive.
Personalization is at the heart of our product, and its what we have spent the most time on. We wanted to make sure that each and every person that uses SPACE is able to make it their own. By eliminating clutter and unnecessary devices we give back the user not just surface area, but the power to customize their desk in new and exciting ways. By adding a splash of color we made it even more personal, because after all what is more personal than your workspace?
We made it so you can open up SPACE and add in your own customized hardware if you want, and we added a 120 volt port on the top so you can add an accessory device like a lamp or second monitor without having to duck under your desk looking for a power strip.
One of the things that perplexed us so much (and most of the people we received feedback from) was when looking at desktop setups was the placement of USB ports. Have you ever noticed that they are almost always on the back of a tower or all-in-one? This means that every time you have to plug in something you have to go hunting. Well we figured this was an easy fix, so we made them super easy to access on the top, and for good measure we placed the power button there too so you could have everything in one place.
We are M33 Labs, and our mission is to do everything we can to unlock the full potential of the human imagination, and do so with products that people can fall in love with over and over again. To do that, we have taken an intensely obsessive approach to product design. By focusing on every single detail, we are able to strike the perfect balance between functionality, design, and user experience. Every part of SPACE has been intensely discussed, debated, and refined down to the last screw hole.
SPACE is the culmination of nearly 2 years of tireless research, development, prototyping and refinement. Our team has grown to include some of the very best Arizona State University and Grand Canyon University has to offer, and each one is intensely passionate about the future of the workspace.
REFUNDS
We reserve the right to issue or deny any requested refunds. If we issue a refund, we will deduct 10% from it because that amount has already been taken from your pledge as fees for the payment processor and Kickstarter.
INTERNATIONAL BACKERS
We ship internationally to select countries using FedEx and USPS. You will be given the choice to select your preferred carrier at the end of the campaign.
All international shipments are subject to duties, taxes and clearing fees which you are responsible for paying. All Kickstarter rewards will be declared 'gifts', however, most countries will assess duties/taxes and in certain countries the carrier will pre-pay the duties and taxes and bill you later. If you refuse delivery, your package will be abandoned. Once abandoned, we can’t ship another package to you or issue a refund.
A lot of planning goes into making The Ultimate Workspace Experience, and every attempt is made at eliminating risk. But as with all projects there is always the unknown. We will do everything we possibly can to make sure that SPACE and our other rewards show up on time and on par with our customers expectation, but if for any reason we cannot meet this requirement we can promise two things:
1) Every single SPACE will never leave our care before it has been obsessively inspected and tested to ensure quality
2) You will always be able to reach us and get a straight answer. We pride ourselves on our outstanding customer support, and know how important it is in relation to your experience. If we have to delay a reward you can be assured you will know why and it will be a darn good reason.
