Zenciti departs from existing models to prototype from the ground up an innovative platform for new forms of governance, transactions, and culture: a new way of life. It is a living laboratory for open-source research on sustainable development, wholesome living, and participatory governance. Zenciti’s public spaces, institutions, and businesses are designed as hybrid environments that bridge between physical space—a public garden, a classroom, or a conference room and the vast network of services and activities online. Zenciti’s hybrid environments do more than provide high-speed internet access—a ubiquitous municipal service in Zenciti. They integrate the Internet of Things, Pervasive Computing, Augmented Reality, and Telepresence to bring web-based content and activities to people.
