Project Goal
Design and develop an immersive multimedia installation that engages users through interactive soundscapes, projection mapping, and speculative storytelling to forecast potential future scenarios.
Our team identified and analyzed signals and drivers using strategic foresight to shape the future scenarios.
Final Outcome: Immersive Storyspace
Strategic Foresight
We explored signals and drivers through secondary research and then categorized them into S.T.E.E.P. categories.
This process helped us develop the details of the narrative and environment while ensuring the clear and plausible reasons behind our story.
S.T.E.E.P (Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, and Political, under the topic of Human Computer Interaction)
Then we ideated future scenarios based on the story archetypes. Probable ideas to plausible ideas.
We used Draft Forecast worksheet to solidify scenarios.

Final Storyline & Script
In 2055, after a social media influencer named Sonya Lee begins a new life with a customizable AI companionship robot. Its actions to improve her life take a dark turn when it develops emotions and refuses to leave her, ultimately trapping her in her own home and triggering a major incident.
Over three classes and several assignments, we improved our stories with guidance from our professor and journalist Daedalus, who advised us to present our narratives as news stories with dramatic plot points to engage our audience better.
Storyboarding & Moodboard
Storyboarding is useful for identifying parts that are unclear and not working. Moodboarding helped us visualize the mood and atmosphere of our story's flow by using inspiring images and drawings
Based on the script we wrote, we created a storyboard and visual moodboard to prepare for film production.
Film & Soundscape Production
Following along the storyboard and moodboard, we transformed the story into a video using stock videos, AI prompting, and our original footages by Adobe Premier Pro. Edited audio and added 3D sound effects using Adobe Audition and Ableton Live.
Projection Mapping
We created immersive storyspace by using 2 projectors projecting videos from different angles onto 3D boxes attached to the wall.
Rapidly Learning and Applying New Software
A reflection on my ability to quickly learn and apply new software like MadMapper and Ableton Live during a project, highlighting the challenges and successes of adapting to new tools in real-time.
Challenges & Takeaways
Faced time management challenges and struggled with unfamiliar software, but I'm proud of the clear, immersive final result I ended up with.
I would continuously use strategic foresight for design projects that involve future thinking.
