/ METHODOLOGY
Futurecasting is a creative, strategic practice that explores social, cultural, economic, political, and ecological forces to imagine possible—and preferable—futures. Rather than predicting what will happen, it reveals what could happen and what should happen to inform long-term direction.
By understanding the forces shaping change, organizations can anticipate disruption and act proactively. Preferable futures align technological progress with human needs while advancing sustainability at a planetary scale.
/ FRAMEWORKS
The Futureproof: Postcards from the Future series uses frameworks like Joseph Voros’s Futures Cone and backcasting to guide exploration. By working backward from a preferred future, backcasting identifies the steps needed to realize that vision. The series encourages reflection on our shared future and inspires active participation in shaping it.
/ VISUAL AND NARRATIVE APPROACH
The series uses AI-driven visuals and narratives that evolve organically, turning each “postcard from the future” into a thought-provoking reflection. Designed to inspire action, it encourages audiences to consider the steps needed to shape our collective preferred future.
Futureproof: On the Go Food Printer
Well, Weyland has done it again. Their Food Printer FP-400 model is one of the best purchases I have ever made. It is so convenient and offers endless meal possibilities. Just pop in Protein, Veggie, and Seasoning gel-encapsulated pouches in the back of the unit and print out a preferred portion of your favorite meal in minutes.
Futureproof: Assistive Dexterity Devices
Before my recent trip home, I noticed my parents communicated more frequently with me. I thought it was just excitement about my upcoming visit that led to the increased messages. But it turns out they bought each other assistive dexterity devices from Fluid for their 60th anniversary a couple of months ago. So far, they have made a remarkable difference in their day-to-day lives.
Futureproof: Bastion Facial Filter Glasses
These Bastion glasses are excellent. I bought them a couple of months ago because my eyes were getting tired, and the city’s poor air quality was starting to impact my health. They filter for UV, shift tint according to lighting conditions, and protect against the possibility of incidental overlapping LIDAR from all of the self-driving vehicles that I pass on my walking commute. They also provide filtered air close to my nose, which has helped my breathing considerably.
