Project 2010 Technology Forecasting Project | Role: Interaction Design
Featured in BusinessWeek in 2001, this speculative future vision project explored a range of consumer products that might evolve by 2010. Some concepts proved prescient, including the Agent, a personal communication device with fingerprint detection that would allow for secure financial transactions and health monitoring. This concept ultimately proved remarkably similar to today’s iPhone’s proposed function. Other objects served to provoke discourse.
Objects From the Future
This conceptual technology forecasting project involved contributors from all IDEO locations and craft disciplines. Interfaces explored stylus, touch, and voice integration affordances.
The Desktop of the Future
The team explored how we might interact with digital content. Concepts included large, flat, stylus-driven, high-resolution displays. Thin transparent speakers, wireless printers, and tube-shaped portable computers with flexible displays rounded out the devices.
