The purpose of UNI is to provide an easy to use alternative to offline internet that is compatible with existing portable devices and that is low cost. Do you know that it is possible to ‘carry’ an entire library of Wikipedia and Khan Academy on the go? Grey-box developed a portable hotspot that provides offline access to digital resources.

Did you know that there are over 7,000 languages in the world? English is not the only language that should be considered as the focal point. As such, Grey-box is working on Project Symmetry. Project Symmetry is based on Machine Learning Models trained to improve the translation of content like Wikipedia into under-represented languages. The goal is to build a semantic understanding of similar articles in various Wikipedia languages and provide relevant translations for missing information.

Thank you to RMIT University, Laurentian University, & the University at Albany for their help with this project!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to browse through an entire website – without any Internet connection!? Grey-box is developing a program to clone websites so users can access these sites without the need for any Internet access. This web scraping tool will effectively clone websites such that users can view and access them without the use of Internet directly on our UNI device.

A big thank you to Central Connecticut State University for organizing students to help on this project!

Grey-box hosts a series of live conversations with leaders in the social innovation and non-profit space. The goal is to share ideas, strategies, tips and use cases to help other non-profits, social enterprises, and B Corps elevate their organizations.

We at Grey-Box wanted to study the impact of using financial transparency systems like the Blockchain to give donors more visibility over the use of their financial contribution in the field.

Shout out to the University of British Columbia for their help with this project!

Project Mesh allows low-cost Android devices (like UNI) to wirelessly connect themselves (mesh) to augment existing functionality and enable new functionality. Facilitating shared storage between devices and user-to-user communication will be the first functionality implemented once mesh networking is achieved.

Thanks to Arizona State University & Athabasca University for providing us with help on this project!

This project aims at allowing an Android device (like UNI) to manage how it shares its hotspot internet connectivity with other devices within its network by setting up bandwidth limits (QoS) per user.

This project aims at translating & finding equivalence for medical data and equipment.

Thank you to Arizona State University and George Brown College for their help with this project!
