IFTF – Human+Machine Futures forecast map

The great people from The Institute For The Future (IFTF) have released a new infographic which highlights advances in technology that will create new forms of human-machine symbiosis. The map examines how Humans & Machines are:

• Discovering how our senses work at high-resolution levels.
• Amplifying our “natural” sensory modalities.
• Borrowing, mimicking, or inventing senses we don’t yet have.
• Mediating our sensory experience through machine interfaces.
• Remixing our senses for different experiences.
• Sharing our senses in high fidelity, and in more profound ways.

In addition, they created four artifacts from the future, each representing one colour in the system. Good stuff (as always)!
