Are you interested in providing an exercise for a design workshop? Perhaps you work at or know of a startup that needs a design critique? Is there a design problem at work you could use some brainstorming help with?

The next topic I want to do (below) will take a while to prepare for, but if you’d like to provide the exercise, I’ll be happy to facilitate a workshop at a time and place of your choosing (and we can go over the format and run through it, if you need help). Have something you want to do?

Companies like Prologue, OOOii and designers like Mark Coleran design and animate the interfaces you see in movies like Minority Report and Iron Man. They’re not entirely imagination: augmented reality apps for the iPhone 3GS and 4 offer viewports into a science fiction speculative fiction future.

This series of workshops will explore designing these future things, providing you with context from movies, science fiction and research-level technology, and then working through designing new types of interactions. No previous hardware, software or secret government research lab experience necessary!

Find out when the workshops will be held by joining the Facebook group or subscribing to this ICS feed in your calendaring app. Questions? My name is Vitorio.
