Future Gadget Laboratory

The Future Gadget Lab is a pseudo-organization founded by Rintaro Okabe in the year 2010.

It is located in Akihabara, in an apartment rented from Yugo Tennouji above the Braun Tube Workshop.

Purpose
According to Okabe, the main objective of the Future Gadget Lab is the creation of the so-called "Future Gadgets", that are to be used to plunge the world into chaos.

In actuality, however, the Future Gadget Lab does not have any particular objective, and simply acts as a gathering place for Okabe Rintaro and his group of friends. The Future Gadgets are just simple inventions with various inoffensive uses.

The "Round Table Conferences" are periodical events in which the members of the lab get together to discuss recent developments.

List of members
The members of the Future Gadget Lab are referred to by the term "Lab Mem", an abbreviation of "Laboratory Member".

Official website
As part of the promotional material for the Steins;Gate anime adaptation, a website for the Future Gadget Lab replicating the one seen in the visual novel was created, showcasing the Future Gadgets and Rintaro's fantasies.

It is worth noting that while two versions of the website exist, one in English and one in Japanese, the English website is very poorly written and contains many grammatical errors—this is a reference to how none of the members of the lab at the time of the website's creation knew any language other than Japanese.
