How does a software engineer bring to life a hardware project dream?


I am a software engineer and don't have experience with developing hardware projects. I have an idea for tablet and mobile device that will be environmentally friendly and free of bloat and attention seeking apps.

The hardware idea I have is not new. It was suggested earlier by hardware industry but it was not picked up by the ODMs for lack of excessive profits.

This idea reduces the hardware consumption by consumers that they have to do now i.e. frequent upgrade s.

If I have an idea for a project to build devices to reduce hardware waste and improve the situation on the software front at the same time, then where do I start? Where do I meet like-minded people with whom I can work to make this dream a reality?
