Abstract
This paper describes an approach to involve potential
users in the design of future emerging technologies. We
have involved people in the development of nanotechnology
based sensor systems. This emerging technology will
facilitate several different applications in the future.
We engaged people to discuss and ideate future visions in
an online innovation space. The lively discussions helped
us to identify most promising application fields and to
identify main concerns. The results show that by societal
awareness actions we can empower people to influence our
future technical environments well before the actual
implementation of emerging technologies will be possible.
