The \u2018Fixing the Future\u2019 project is investigating the limitations of the Right-to-Repair legislation which does not account for the repair of \u2018smart\u2019 Internet of Things (IoT) devices whose unsustainable disposal actively contributes to electronic waste and material scarcity. A collaboration between researchers from Design (Imagination), Technology Law (Edinburgh) and Computing (Nottingham and Edinburgh Napier), the 2 year \u00a31.2M project examines how IoT devices lack of repairability impacts environmental sustainability, social inclusion and cybersecurity across communities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the notion of a future high street \u2018Repair Shop 2049\u2019 as its lens, the Imagination team has been working with project partner The Making Rooms, Blackburn\u2019s community digital fabrication lab, to run Co-design workshops with citizen, policy and industry stakeholders. The insights have been embodied into a range of Speculative Design artefacts and frameworks which highlight the need localised IoT repair ecosystems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
