Abstract

Design fictions can offer a powerful tool to envision and communicate technology futures, which are yet to be developed. In this paper, we present the case of The Naked Approach research project, where design fictions were used in the form of futuristic technology narratives, that were visualized with videos, and drawings and other visual materials. The technology intensive research project addressing future smart environments utilized the design fiction approach e.g. to set the common vision for a multidisciplinary research team, and to discuss and evaluate potential application concepts in joined brainstorming sessions through participatory design approach.
