We're a strategic research, design, and development studio projecting & prototyping the future of social, ecological, and economic systems #BetterFuturesFaster
It's funny how things go full circle... I never thought I would use much of my #infosec undergrad experience. But using #kalilinux for creative experiments has really helped me think about the future of networks and data ownership. I can't wait to share these upcoming projects!
Stories of science fiction spark inventors' imaginations and help them create the future. We've developed a program called Synthesizing Futures Program, where you can learn how to envision, create, and explain innovations you want to bring into the world. https://t.co/gga8DKRh2M
This artifact, Electronic Popsicle, is just one of many experiments from our #Foodturity Lab. If you are interested in learning more about our #food#innovation research and #speculative#prototypedesign get in contact with us here or via email!
Licking a cool chocolate popsicle gives you a taste and temperature sensation. But what if both were electronic? The future of food might be more digital than you realize – and we're working on how. Check out our latest #futureArtifact.
Last-mile delivery #startups like DoorDash, Deliveroo, Glovo, and Uber Eats are much more than a way for city dwellers to get a quick meal. As they merge with dark kitchens and sidewalk robots, these services will transform cities, much the way that our automobiles did but faster
Analyzing futures means seeing weak signals and breaking strong ones down into parts, but synthesizing them means sewing those parts together into new solutions for more. That's how future innovations always arise. Find out how to do it right here!
Brain computer interfaces are all the buzz - but controlling bodies is the ZAP! We're developing devices for controlling muscles with other muscles, or a new little toy called a smartphone.
Interested in learning more about future interfaces? Follow us, and get in touch!
How can they ensure survival in this world of ubiquitous, frictionless, and nearly free? Our principal Mark Bünger will lead a conversation with leading VCs on what's next in transportation and logistics at @thefrontiercon#logistics#transportation#innovation
From last-mile food services to last-meter delivery robots, the competitive landscape of consumer industries is quickly exploding with VC funding. How should retailers & manufacturers react to the new threats & opportunities?
The sum—of transaction costs—is greater than the whole of its parts. "The simulations reveal that transaction costs not only decrease market surplus but that they can substantially reduce the elasticity of supply and demand.
Other transaction costs include those associated with finding a buyer (or seller), negotiating a contract, financing the payment, and enforcing the transaction agreement."
