Abstract
This paper uses a narrative literary study to discuss how
the science fiction prototyping method has been applied
so far in different disciplines, including technology and
engineering research (specifically Intelligent
Environment research), foresight, futures- and business
studies. Then the paper presents very similar practices
in human-computer interaction, entitled as e.g. critical
design, speculative design and design fiction. After
that, the paper focuses on their common denominator,
scenario planning and scenario design, and deliberates
briefly on how the creative, future-oriented prototyping
differs from them. The main contribution is to propose a
conversional tool - an inter- dimensional portal - for
all the involved disciplines that is aimed at uniting
their forces and passion for science fiction - for the
greatest benefit of all mankind.
