Taking inspiration from Sci_fi...
When I think of science fiction what comes to mind is dystopian futures, life in space, and parallel universes with steam powered dirigibles. However the technology has changed, human needs remain the same regardless, as do the natural laws like physics. To quote design psychologist Donald Norman from teh introduction of his acclaimed book, The Design of Everyday Things,"Technology may change rapidly, but people change slowly.
Assuming we now live in space ships or on Mars-based geodesic domed biospheres...
Can we own pets?
Are open flames allowed?
What will we do for sport?
How will we get from A-B in potentially hostile environments?
What will entertainment look like?
Hopefully by looking at constraints I can find inspiration for an interactive product for the upcoming tech task.
Watch this space...
... the final frontier.
