Our solution's stage of development:
ResearchOur solution:
Freed0m and Abundance realized via conversion of physical into digital.
Our pitch:
1.
Q. What is your solution?
A. www.virtualabundance.com
2.
Q. 'How can urban communities increase their access to sustainable and resilient food and water sources?'
A. Decrease physical demand while simultaneously providing a virtually infinite canvas for learning, creating, lifestyle, & beyond.
3.
Q. If scaled, how will it effect change across the world?
A. Significant reduction in demand & desire for physical consumerism (and many drawbacks thereto: overall inefficiency, labor, pollution, corruption, conflict, war, etc.)
The problem:
Resource scarcity and the deleterious effects of physical consumerism.
Why our solution will solve the problem:
If Amazon.com could be succinctly described as Walmart 2.0 (referring to scaling a more efficient distribution of physical goods), Phases 1 & 2 of this project might be akin to Walmart 3.0 & 4.0.
Our target outcomes:
'What is the impact of your solution?'
Worldwide resolution of poverty, corruption, conflict, war, etc.
'Who will benefit from your solution?'
Anyone dissatisfied with physical reality (physically in-firmed, elderly, economically disadvantaged, etc.).
'How will it be deployed to them?'
In two larger phases of development (as per https://www.virtualabundance.c...). First, via re-configuring physical forms of shelter & food provision along with leading edge internet access & immersive digital mediums (i.e. virtual reality equipment). Second, TBD.
How we will measure our progress:
The populations we will benefit initially:
The regions we will benefit initially:
The technologies we employ:
Why our solution is unique:
'Why is your solution innovative? How is your solution novel in its use of technology? '
Leveraging of the infinite capacities of virtual/digital world(s) to minimize demand & destruction of our collective physical world.
Why our solution is human-centered:
'How does your technology meet these values?'
Anyone dissatisfied with physical reality (physically in-firmed, elderly, economically disadvantaged, etc.) will be able to decrease their physical demand while simultaneously enjoying a virtually infinite canvas for learning, creating, lifestyle, & beyond. Net effect to likely yield worldwide resolution of poverty, corruption, conflict, war, etc.
How people will access our solution:
Deployed:
Two phases of development (per https://www.virtualabundance.c...).
First, via re-configuring physical forms of shelter & food provision combined with leading edge internet access & immersive digital mediums (i.e. virtual reality). Second, TBD.
Affordable and accessible:
Eventual no cost via combination of:
1. UBI (Universal Basic Income) and/or re-allocation of pre-exisiting public subsidies (i.e. public assistance, welfare, section 8 housing, etc).
2. Phase two would enable leveraging initial, novel value proposition (physical rejuvenation & lengthened longevity) into flat-tax pricing structure (5-10% of net worth and/or income) whereby those with the most to lose from dying will be most motivated to contribute.
Technology-Readiness Level:
1-3 (Formulation)Our organization:
Not Registered as Any OrganizationHow we will sustain our team financially:
1. Apply to MIT Solve & utilize best enabling resources therefrom.
2. UBI (Universal Basic Income) and/or re-allocation of pre-exisiting public subsidies (i.e. public assistance, welfare, section 8 housing, etc).
3. Phase two would enable leveraging its initial, novel value proposition (physical rejuvenation & lengthened longevity) into a flat-tax pricing structure (5-10% of net worth and/or income) whereby those with the most to lose from dying will be most motivated to contribute to development.
