The current state of science fiction prototyping, from science fiction writer Kyosuke Higuchi: Will “making a proposal with PowerPoint” become “writing and showing science fiction”? The future of innovation with science fiction prototyping! (Page 1 of 3) - ITmedia NEWS

  • SF prototyping is a science fiction version of the concept of “prototyping” that was originally practiced by designers. I think people were dubious at first about prototyping, where you make sketches and mockups without a proposal, but now prototyping is the norm. But now prototyping is commonplace, and I think SF prototyping will follow in the footsteps of prototyping and become commonplace as well.

  • I feel that many of the outputs of SF prototyping are not yet completed as a work of art. Or rather, I don’t think it even needs to be completed as a work of art in the first place.

  • Since SF prototyping is also prototyping, it is positioned as a material for consideration, not a finished product in itself. So I personally think it is a bit different to ask people to appreciate this. - The purpose of prototypes is to fail.

  • When doing science fiction prototyping, science fiction writers should not pursue things like their authorship.
