Institute for the Future
Palo Alto, CA

Jason has long been interested in researching and designing the ways people interact with technology, expertise he brought to IFTF’s ongoing effort to broaden the ways in which its findings are visualized and presented. To this end, he developed one of IFTF’s current methodologies called “artifacts from the future.” Most recently, he has been interested in moving futures thinking out of the think tanks and into the street by developing a platform called human–future interaction. Such a platform is designed to make futures thinking part of daily life by using immersive experiences and new media tools to provoke and capture citizens’ thoughts about the future.
