The exhibition tackles the complex issues of ageing, climate control and stem cells. The creation of imaginary future products helped present these topics in a fun way. Speculation on what might happen in the 23rd century led to the ‘invention’ of the ‘two calorie burger’, ‘NHS prescription gaming devices’ and ‘government-issue sunglasses’. While this project took us into the world of product design, in an extreme manner, it also stretched our other design skills: packaging live human organs was a challenge and another future packaging idea featured animated advertising.

In addition to the products and interfaces, we also designed and programmed a series of games that use the full width of a 42″ tabletop touchscreen to get the message across with impact.
