Between Reality and Impossible

Critical design duo Dunne and Raby have made their contribution to the show in St Etienne this year by displaying some of their most recent "design fictions"; a collection of arresting design proposals that transport the mind to an alternate, perhaps future, world in which products and technology are used very differently.

Envisioning Your Future in 2020

In the future nearly every visible thing will be cataloged and indexed, ready to be instantly identified and described to us. Want to go shopping? In the future we won't need big retail stores with aisles of objects on display. We'll be able to shop out in the world (see image, above). Do you like that new car you saw drive by? Or those cool shoes on the woman sitting across the room? All you’ll have to do is look at it and your mobile handset or AR-equipped eyeglasses will identify the object and look up the best price and retailer.

"Irgendwas mit Social Media"

Das erste Drittel dieses Jahres ist vorbei und es lässt sich sagen, dass Social Media in der Unternehmenskommunikation angekommen ist. Alles webzwonullige läuft auf heavy rotation in einschlägigen Fachpublikationen wie Horizont oder WUV. Dem kann sich kein Marketeer und kein Kommunikator mehr entziehen. So langsam springen alle auf den Zug auf, wollen ihre Facebook-Seite, den Twitter-Account und ein hübsches YouTube-Video. Die Rede ist nicht von den Innovatoren aus E-Commerce und ITK, den großen Lifestyle-Marken oder Verlagsprodukten. Vielmehr sind es jetzt Mittelständler und mausgraue B2B-Unternehmen, die bei den Agenturen anklopfen und sich Rat holen.

Design fiction is a fact

Some nice concepts: the sceptical futuryst: Design fiction is a fact

Future Concept Designs

Example: "Using the wearable Dew camera, users can constantly record daily experiences. The camera has emotional recognition through vocal rhythms and gesture recognition through hand motionsThe camera achieves emotional recognition by analyzing vocal rhythms and gesture recognition by analyzing hand movements. A server saves your viewed scenes in real time through the network. And the Dew viewer reproduces your memories, which can be saved through emotional and gesture recognition. You can also enjoy looking at the images of yourself that have been taken by a Dew camera worn by someone else. The images of yourself are automatically searched through other people’s visual data shared on the network. Designer: NEC and SGI Japan Ltd."

The ambient live

Imagine a world where data becomes the everyday, simply embedded in what you normally do. It's really not far off if you think about it. We use charts, graphs, and viz to make important decisions with investments, businesses, and to stay informed on the news, so why not use it in our own lives?

10/GUI Desktop Interface Prototype

10/GUI from C. Miller on Vimeo.

10/GUI, a prototype interface by R. Clayton Miller, is a new way of interacting with the computer. We're all familiar with touch screens, but what Miller proposes is separating the touch from the screen and bringing your hands back to where you normally would use a keyboard and a mouse.
