Impact Lab | Bengaluru - Superhuman Lab
Hacking human ability.
What if a wheelchair felt less like a medical device and more like an upgrade?
What if assistive tech didn't compensate for limitations, but unlocked entirely new abilities?
A 2-day interdisciplinary hackathon where AI engineers, hardware tinkerers, artists, product designers, persons with disabilities and their caregivers come together to reimagine human capability through play, storytelling and speculative prototyping.
Part speculative design lab. Part hacker movement. Part superhero origin story.
This is not an ordinary hardware hackathon. We're not here for demo-day theatre, we want ideas that actually have impact, grounded in; lived experience and built with the people who'd use them.
Expect painted wheelchairs with attitude. Prosthetics with hidden tricks. Sensory adapters that unlock new ways of experiencing the world. And a room full of people asking: "What else could humans become?"
