Saphire Labs is a research and development laboratory dedicated to examining the relationship between people and technology. Our work focuses on designing and prototyping both physical and digital systems, tools, and interactive experiences to investigate how technology influences human experiences and the environments they engage with.
At Saphire Labs, we apply a multidisciplinary approach to develop solutions rooted in behavioral insights, software development, and engineering.
Steve Zafeiriou, founder of Saphire Labs, is a new media artist and technologist whose work investigates the boundary between perception and reality. He explores how technology shapes, influences, and sometimes distorts our understanding of the world. Steve, guides the lab with focus on delivering clarity, accessibility, and results that provide meaningful perspectives on how people engage with technology.
Saphire Labs serves as a platform to examine how technology shapes perception, interaction, and decision-making. Our work begins with fundamental questions about human behavior and employs technology as a tool to systematically investigate these dynamics.
At Saphire Labs, we focus on understanding the connections between human interaction and technology. Our work encompass the study of behavior, the design of functional systems, and the creation of adaptive environments driven by real-world data.
Our process begins by asking foundational questions about concepts. Through software development and hardware engineering, we build prototypes and systems to explore these questions. We refine our methods through iterative testing, ensuring each project delivers clear and immersive storytelling.
Technology is redefining how we live, work, and communicate. By understanding its impact on behavior, individuals, organizations, and societies can make informed decisions and design more effective tools.
Integrating Technology, Data, & Design for Behavioral Insights
At Saphire Labs, we create systems and tools that analyze and respond to real-world behavior. Through the integration of technology, data, and design, we explore the intricacies of human interaction and behavior.
Our work spans a variety of outcomes, including interactive installations, educational tools, and systems designed to analyze and visualize behavioral data.
Our research examines the relationships between technology, human behavior, and emotional perspectives. These findings offer actionable insights that inform the design of systems and experiences responsive to real-world data.
Analyzing Core Emotions to Understand Behavioral Patterns
Our focused studies investigate how individuals perceive six core emotions—neutrality, anger, joy, fear, sadness, and surprise. This research examines the connections between emotions, personal experiences, and external influences, providing deeper insight into human behavior and interaction.
We encourage you to connect with us to discuss potential collaborations, ask about our work, or explore opportunities for engagement. Whether you are an individual, an organization, or someone interested in how technology influences the human experience, we look forward to hearing from you.
