🧪 Innovation Technology Transfer Simulation

Interactive 3D simulator of the technology transfer pipeline: push lab inventions through Technology Readiness Levels 1-9, tune R&D funding and licensing terms, and watch attrition spike in the 'valley of death' between prototype and market.

This simulation models the process of transferring innovative technologies from research labs to commercial applications as a 9-stage Technology Readiness Level (TRL) pipeline. Inventions spawn at TRL 1 (basic research) and, cycle by cycle, either advance toward TRL 9 (market-ready), stall, or get killed — with failure risk spiking sharply through the notorious "valley of death" at TRL 4-6, where lab funding has ended but commercial investment hasn't yet arrived. Tune R&D funding rate, licensing deal quality and the rate of new inventions entering the pipeline, and watch a live 3D scene of glowing project spheres climbing nine funnel-shaped stage rings toward market, tracked against a running scoreboard of active projects, successes, failures and cumulative licensing revenue.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation demonstrates the process of transferring innovative technologies from research labs to commercial applications. It highlights the key steps involved in scaling up and implementing new inventions.
