Speculation Upon Suspicion

SUS concepts that challenge modern design.

Part of Tampere University and Aalto University joint course on design from the future (HTI.042 & UWAS-C0049).

Here is a real-life approximation of our bee

Your country has problems reaching a high vaccination rate? Our augmented bees are able to enforce a vaccine mandate using their guns to shoot vaccine capsules.

@AtheneDesign @DesignFromTheF1 As I understand, it sends wireless signals between other helmets. But it also gets vulnerable to hacks... So I think having physical touch communication instead of brain implant communication avoids the bad consequences from hacks. Great job! - Yerzhan

@AtheneDesign @DesignFromTheF1 Really interesting design. With which animals is it compatible? Is it only useful for mammals with anthropoid-like auditory system or could it also be used with reptiles, fish etc.? - Simon

@future_folks @DesignFromTheF1 Really cool design. I am just wondering if every potato has its own dedicated capacitymeter or if they could share. Given the god-like status of potatoes it seems sacriligeous to think you can just change them

[Speculation Upon Suspicion @sus_concepts]

@future_folks @DesignFromTheF1 If potatoes are now integral part of civilization, is it humane (potatane) to divide them into superior and less superior potatoes?🤔 - Yerzhan

[Speculation Upon Suspicion @sus_concepts]

@Un_ersAalto @DesignFromTheF1 Simon - pretty cool concept but I am just worried about the safety of this system. Is there a fail-safe to insure the sink wont decompress during use?

[Speculation Upon Suspicion @sus_concepts]

@Un_ersAalto @DesignFromTheF1 It is not yet clear how prototype exactly works, but it provides a general idea. It reminds of capsules in space where vacuum gets filled with air before entrance. But his time, it is under water and applied to face mask switching process. - Yerzhan

@digrejamor @DesignFromTheF1 Fascinating representation of a possible future material. Do you think it would be possible to store such clothes together? Could parts of the oragnism from two adjecent shirts grow together?

[Speculation Upon Suspicion @sus_concepts]

@digrejamor @DesignFromTheF1 The idea of customization allows people to come up with new future product. I think even when prototyping the team explored different use cases.

Tinkercad model of how the technologically augmented bee of the future designed to protect itself looks like.

But what if this becomes a reality? One option turned out to be dystopian... #DesignFromTheFuture #DesignFiction
