The Importance of Science Fiction in Design

Sci-fi is this sort of lingua franca of future interactions, where we can say what's a gestural interface? Well, you know, it's like the minority report interface. Or if I want to talk about sort of a gunner seat interface, I can just say Luke Skywalker in the basement of the Millennium Falcon. And that is actually something that we have and kind of the real world can certainly capture current paradigms. But when you want to push the boundaries of your work, the place you can turn to is science fiction.
