Prototyping the future(s)
summary
A five‑phase framework—scan, prospect, articulate, challenge, experiment—maps megatrends (connectivity, urbanization, health) and narrows to a human disconnect future. Teams generate ideas (crazy 8, Socratic prompts), iterate with expert and synthetic interviews, and pivot an “anxiety simulation pot” into a portable social sphere helmet. Clickable prototypes appear in 2–4 minutes from Figma Make, Firebase Studio, Lovable, V0; feedback adds debriefs and adaptive difficulty to make the concept usable.
