Collective Dreaming in the Virtual World

Abstract:

The Collective Dream Prototype acts as a virtual platform and a participatory space where people get together in generative co-design sessions. It provides the means for people to first imagine an ideal experience individually, and then collectively envision and make a shared ideal experience. The approach of this project was iterative in developing the prototype, moving from paper-based tools, to digital mock up, to the networked digital Collective Dream Prototype. Throughout the process, different people were recruited to be participants in generative research sessions. In the final step of co-designing in a networked space, not only did participants very much enjoy the experience working together with the prototype, but the ideas generated were highly creative.
