Designing with Future Emerging Technologies

  • HUMAN EMPOWERMENT
  • THE HUMAN TOUCH
  • KEY ENABLING METHODOLOGY
  • TALK

Materials, subjects, tools and methods of designing have changed dramatically in the past few years. And we are still witnessing a transition and a field in progress. In this DRIVE talk, we want to trigger, provoke, explore and design how future emerging technologies will play a role in shaping the future every day, from the very mundane and pure to the extraordinary, from health to entertainment.
