ABSTRACT

This panel explores the impact video and film visions of the future have had on user centered design, with a focus on the role of corporate vision pieces from recent decades.Two vision video veterans join us: Hugh Dubberly, co-creator of Apple's "Knowledge Navigator" and Bruce Tognazzini, creator of Sun Microsystem's "Starfire". We consider how well the CHI community has anticipated or created the future. Are we better off having created these visions, or are they costly exercises with little or no reward? Lastly, we view excerpts from several Hollywood films to ask if they teach us something about envisioning the future.
