Enchanted Objects with David Rose
Enchanted Objects: Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things
A Book Talk with David Rose—Free with RSVP!
November 12, 5:30 - 7:00pm
Join us for David Rose's talk based on his new book, Enchanted Objects: Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things. In it he asks:
“How will the next wave of the wireless web and ‘little AI’ inevitably wash over the world of ordinary products to give them extraordinary capabilities?"
This talk approaches this question from a psychological perspective, examining human fantasies (omniscience, protection, immortality, teleportation…) with a futuristic lens. A fantastical fictional object from myth or pop culture is tied to a recent invention to prove that new products must psychologically resonate to succeed. Lastly, a framework for enchantment leads designers and executives to think about how to imbue their products with new magical capabilities.
Free with RSVP
