The iPad App "Envisioning" is part of Filip's Chudzinski diploma thesis about the Human-Computer-Interaction in Science-Fiction movies.
Interaction designers can be inspired by movies, a source they already love, and can learn from the interfaces in films and television. After an initial phase of just unreflected citation of existing technology or simple ex-trapolation without conceptual changes, technology started to inspire filmmakers. They invented interesting variations or pointed out the consequences of failures (or total success) of technologies, and thereby provided inspiration for researchers all the same. The app provides an easy-to-use access to various movie clips, connected with in-depth information about facts and fiction. Swipe. Tap. Get comfy. Get inspired.
