तस्य भासा सर्वमिदं विभातिBY THAT LIGHT, ALL THIS SHINES · KAṬHA UPANIṢAD 2.2.15

One server.
Every kind of work.

Prism turns the one server you have into a private, ready workspace for every person — robots, code, data and processes — each in a browser tab. And it all comes back to you: their work, their marks, one view of everything.

Sign in to your workspaceWhy a prism?
Why a prism
एकं सद्विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति
Truth is one; the wise call it by many names.Ṛgveda 1.164.46

One white beam goes in; every colour comes out. None of the colours is new: each was in the white light all along, and the glass only shows it.

The light
Your server. One machine, with everything already in it: the processing, the memory, the tools.
The prism
Prism. It has no light of its own. It shows the one machine as many, one face for each person.
The colours
The workspaces. The code of one, the robot of another, the data of a third: private, and ready when they sign in.

You create the people; they sign in to their own space and keep their work there; and everything they do can come back to you as one view.

The spectrum

Every colour is a kind of work.

ये यथा मां प्रपद्यन्ते तांस्तथैव भजाम्यहम्
As each one comes to me, so do I meet them.Bhagavad Gītā 4.11

A workspace is not one product for one job. It is whatever the person inside it needs it to be.

Robotics & simulation

Robot software with navigation preinstalled; a simulated robot with laser scan and map, or a full 3D physics world with lidar and camera; a live 3D view in the browser.

Software

A full Linux environment with terminal and browser IDE; Python, C and C++, git; more tools install inside its own sandbox.

Data

Interactive notebooks in the browser, sharing the workspace's files and tools, with the libraries each project needs.

Automation & toolchains

Install the toolchains, protocol libraries and simulators you need; tools that serve their own web page — flow editors, PLC runtimes, dashboards — open right inside the workspace.

Training & assessment

Identical environments for a whole group, exercises marked automatically, everyone sealed from everyone else during a test.

Trials & demos

Hand someone a private environment to try the real thing, and remove it when the conversation is done.

…and whatever comes next

A sketch pad, a 3D viewer and any tool with its own web page are already inside. If people need their own capable place to work, it is one more colour of the same light.

Private by design

Separate pots. One space.

यथैकस्मिन् घटाकाशे रजोधूमादिभिर्युते । न सर्वे संप्रयुज्यन्ते तद्वज्जीवाः सुखादिभिः ॥
When the space in one pot fills with dust or smoke, the space in the others does not; so it is with each one’s joys and the like.Gauḍapāda, Māṇḍūkya Kārikā 3.5

The space inside every pot is the same space; the walls are what make each one its own. Every workspace is like that: the same server, sealed from every other — no network path, no shared files, no way to see in. What fills one does not touch the rest. When two people should work together, you connect that pair on purpose — for files, for a private network between just the two of them, or both — and everything that crosses, including every refused attempt, is recorded.

Everyone is separate.

Out and back · षडङ्ग

  
Out to every person. Back to you.

  
यथा सुदीप्तात्पावकाद्विस्फुलिङ्गाः सहस्रशः प्रभवन्ते सरूपाः । तथाक्षराद्विविधाः सोम्य भावाः प्रजायन्ते तत्र चैवापियन्ति ॥

    
As from a blazing fire a thousand sparks of its own form leap out, so from the one imperishable source many beings come forth, dear one, and into it they return.Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 2.1.1

  
Newton sent the colours from one prism into a second, and they came back together as white light. Prism does both: it sends one server out as every person’s workspace, and brings their work back to you as one picture. Six limbs carry it: three take the work out — deliver, create, govern — two bring it back — understand, oversee — and one keeps the rhythm between them: cadence.

Deliver

      
  • Material sent to every workspace at once, even resting ones
  • Ready-made projects shared into everyone's workspace as they are
  • Exercises with automatic checks, built in
  • Files in from a laptop or a link; big transfers resume after a drop

      
आचार्यः पूर्वरूपम् । अन्तेवास्युत्तररूपम् । विद्या सन्धिः । प्रवचनं सन्धानम् ॥
The teacher is the first form, the student the second; knowledge is where they meet, and teaching is what joins them.Taittirīya Upaniṣad 1.3.3 (Śikṣāvallī)

Create

      
  • Accounts and workspaces in bulk, from a list of names
  • Workspace types as templates: browser tools, or a full desktop
  • Every workspace made the same way, every time
  • Handed over to a person with their files intact

Govern

      
  • Each person's own sign-in and own space, system-wide installs included
  • Groups, with processing and memory limits per workspace
  • A storage pool per group, divided as you choose
  • Sealed from each other; pairs connected only on purpose

      
एतस्य वा अक्षरस्य प्रशासने गार्गि सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ विधृतौ तिष्ठतः ।

Understand

      
  • Automatic checks run inside each workspace and explain, check by check, what passed and what to fix — driving exercises are marked on the simulated robot itself
  • A gradebook of best attempts, your own marks and comments, exported as CSV
  • Hand-in folders collected from everyone as dated snapshots
  • Hours, visits and last activity per person

Cadence

      
  • A workspace wakes on a visit, in about three seconds
  • It rests when idle — first paused, then stopped — costing nothing
  • The home folder — files, projects, settings — kept across every rest
  • Nobody has to keep anything running

      
अव्यक्ताद्व्यक्तयः सर्वाः प्रभवन्त्यहरागमे । रात्र्यागमे प्रलीयन्ते तत्रैवाव्यक्तसंज्ञके ॥
When day comes, all that is seen comes forth from the unseen; when night comes, it rests again in that same unseen.Bhagavad Gītā 8.18

Oversee

        
  • Every person, group and workspace in one live view: state, processing, memory, disk
    • 
          
  • Step into a workspace live, or read its files read-only — both recorded
    • 
          
  • An activity trail of every transfer, refusal, view and grade, exportable
    • 
          
  • Warnings before space runs out, and automatic stops past the limit
