Manifesto
Protiotype
We seek a sustainable and intelligent built environment by designing and building protiotype public research laboratories. Initially we will investigate ‘future work spaces’
to enhance communication and collaboration between humans, and between humans
and computers.
Protiotype embraces a multi-disciplinary community approach, and iterative design
process, that resolves interoperability obstacles.
Experiences over technology. Functioning protiotypes over theory.
noun /’pro-tee-oh-type’/
The first example of an artefact that is connected to the internet, such as a machine or
other industrial product from which all later forms are developed:
a protiotype for/of a new smart, connected product.

Interdisciplinary Research Group
Protiotype is a collaborative project to undertake
design and science experiments at the leading edge
of what comes next. It is a public research
laboratory to investigate design ideas and
concepts. It is a test bed and proving ground
- a technology sandbox.
The collaborative has delivered various projects including
Protiotype, the exclusive Internet of Things exhibition for Sydney Design 2014, the
international design festival, and for Singapore Design Week, 2016.

PRESS RELEASE:
EON / PROTIOTYPE
Singapore. 7 October, 2016.
EON REALITY, the world leader in Virtual and
Augmented Reality based knowledge transfer for
industry, education, and edutainment, has entered in
to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
Protiotype, the IoT design and research group, to
build an Intelligent Interior laboratory at EON’s Nucleos showroom in Singapore.
Protiotype is a collaboration between stakeholders
with an interest in technology and design. The project group includes architects, interactive designers,
creative directors, software engineers, electrical engineers and writers. The group has previously delivered
projects for Sydney Design, the international design
festival, and Singapore Design Week.
The Protiotype project with EON aims to build a
functioning ‘protiotype’ - an Internet of Things prototype - of an Intelligent Interior research laboratory.
“Let’s build an Augmented Reality Operating System for the physical world” said Gregory Cornelius,
founder of the Protiotype project.
“As if we are not spending enough time on our
mobile phones. Sony can now mirror your mobile
phone in to a VR headset so you can see your phone
screen and check your messages without taking off
the headset. Think of an ‘Intelligent Interior’ as the
inverse of this. In the physical world I can turn on
digital tools - 3D objects and interfaces - that control real physical artefacts and their digital resources
without needing a smart phone” he said.

Intelligent Interiors
SINGAPORE. 1 November, 2016. Sixteen Protiotype stakeholders attended a workshop held at EON Reality’s Nucleos office in Singapore, on October 22nd.
The sixteen attendees represented a diverse range of professions - from software engineers to creative designers, architects, and writers - and many nationalities. Armed
with this broad range of experiences and expertise, the stakeholders vigorously
debated the ‘Intelligent Interior’ subject throughout the day, in order to define it.
An Intelligent Interior could be a smart class room, a smart office, smart house,
smart shop or hospital. In fact, any building could become enchanted and intelligent. Towards the end of the workshop the group drew the wide-ranging discussions
together and made decisions about what the first Protiotype Intelligent Interior
installation in Singapore will be.

Intelligent Interior
The stakeholders have decided that the first iteration will be an investigation of
learning environments and ‘future work spaces’. In practice this means Protiotype
will design an Intelligent Interior meeting room that can be used to explain Protiotype’s concepts to visitors to the showroom.
The Intelligent Interior will be built at EON Reality’s Nucleos headquarters in Singapore with an opening planned for first quarter 2017.

Partnerships
Protiotype seeks industry partners to help support our endeavour. Support can be provided in many
ways from allocation of human resources to work on specific tasks to donations of materials, hardware and software applications. Of course, financial contributions are welcome. In return Protiotype
can offer a tailor made suite of benefits to suit each partners specific needs.
EON Reality has become our first Intelligent Interior partner providing us with a test bed space to
carry out our experiments.
Calendar
2016
The design of the Intelligent Interiors first installation is intended to be finalised by the end of 2016.
2017
Protiotype intends to build the first Intelligent Interior installation in Q1 2017.
Protiotype may produce some break out exhibitions and events of its own or for events such as Singapore Design Week and IoT Asia.
Protiotype may publish a printed anthology of essays and art works from its members to document
the theoretical foundations, and the design and production, of the Intelligent Interior. Ideally this
publication will be produced to coincide with the launch of the first Intelligent Interior installation
