The third version of the telecentre model saw a move from being community spaces towards becoming innovation villages, which aimed to incubate innovative grassroots applications of ICTs capable of stimulating development within Malaysia’s isolated rural and indigenous communities.

i)   Low-​cost aer­ial pho­tog­ra­phy for com­mu­nity map­ping using teth­ered weather bal­loons for mak­ing maps that sup­port claims for indige­nous land rights;
ii)  ICTs for tra­di­tional botan­i­cal knowl­edge to pre­serve and pass on knowl­edge;
iii)  ICTs for oral his­tory record­ing, broad­cast­ing and archiv­ing.
