Make It So: Learning From SciFi Interfaces

There was a panel last year named "Make It So: Learning From SciFi Interfaces." I wasn't able to catch it last year, but have listened to the podcast and it's great. Clearly, very related to this blog/our panel. Here's the snippet:

"SciFi interfaces are both fun, inspiring examples and reflections of current interface understanding. Production designers are allowed to develop ‘blue-sky’ examples that, while lacking rigorous development with users, coalesce influential examples for practicing designers that are humorous, prophetic, inspiring, and useful. Interaction Designers can learn can learn from these examples. This presentation will describe some of the insights found by the presenters and lessons all designers can take back to their practices.."

In one of the closing questions, an audience member ask them to cite what they think is the next big SciFi to reality trend. And they say "The Minority Report." We're looking at our panel as very much a continuation of this talk from last year. We'll pick up where they left off.
