How to use the new Research Mode

I was waiting for the new Research Mode and I'm really exited about it.
But right now, the "learn more" link in the Device Portal takes you to an old Github repository for CVPR 2017, and doesn't seem to have been updated at all, so there isn't really any sample or info about how to use the Research Mode.

Can anyone provide with a little bit more info about the Research Mode?

Thanks
