We design tools for finding opportunities in uncertain futures.

There are 
7
 possible futures.

The only future that truly deserves its name is the one, we cannot predict. Our world is constantly changing – cultural paradigms, societal beliefs, technological standards, environmental conditions – every transformation opening up new challenges, possibilities and potentials.

Instead of trying to tell “the” future, we develop tools to create, envision, and experience manifold possible futures. Our lucid simulations, immersive stories, and high-fidelity prototypes allow you to see, hear, and feel futures at your fingertips – to help you trace unexpected developments and make innovative decisions for a desirable future.

We uncover and extrapolate existing trends and drivers of change. This opens up a design space which we explore further: through use-cases, short stories and hands-on research of new technologies and materials. By taking things from the abstract to the concrete, we discover new influences, create new contexts and find new opportunities.

You are an AI psychologist. You are treating AI systems for biases—racism, superstitions, or hallucinations. It’s similar to humans: what you learn at a young age is the most difficult to change. Nowadays AI systems are very complex, some of them have been trained for decades.

The big AIs employed in companies have become too valuable to be simply reset. Personal Assistants on the other hand are of great emotional value to their owners. Usually no one knows them better. Often People and Personal Assistants mirror their psychological issues, so you’ve come to treat them together.

“Treat it, don’t delete it”
is your motto.


Through technical prototypes, ranging from material studies to cutting edge technological devices, we turn ideas of the near future into interactive experiences you can touch, interact, and engage with. These are embedded and contextualized through scenarios and use-cases, presented as films, experiences, applications or stories. Our media-rich depictions and prototypes are tools to probe futures, making them tangible, believable and evaluable.
