Modern Work Environment Lab started in 2008. In the first 12 months of operation, MWE Lab's main objective was to further develop the design and prototyping work initiated by Martin Carpentier on the original and ground breaking Emperor 200.

After a year of intensive work and testing, the Emperor 200 was shown to the public for the first time at the CES 2009 in Las Vegas. Following the successful launch of the Emperor 200, a second Emperor development project named Tiberian, also lead by designer Martin Carpentier, was begun in January 2010. The result was the Emperor 1510.

Present Emperor work environment customers include individuals and companies in technology, engineering, medical, military, research, simulation, control and gaming industries.
