Human Beings in the Modern World
Value Creators of Tomorrow
How can mobile and XR experiences reveal what is happening right now and in the next few hours around you? Everyday urban life is full of small moments, shifting rhythms, and emerging possibilities that often go unnoticed. This project invites participants to imagine a near future where cities quietly communicate with their citizens through mobile and XR experiences woven into daily routines.
The challenge is to explore how extended reality can make the present and the immediate future visible in subtle, meaningful ways. Events about to begin, places filling with energy, moments of calm or movement, and collective urban moods could appear as digital layers in the city, transforming ordinary walks into moments of discovery.
The focus is on speculative, experience-driven design rather than utility alone. How might everyday life feel if the city itself could whisper what is unfolding nearby? How could digital presence enhance awareness, curiosity, and connection without overwhelming attention? The outcomes may include futuristic concepts, XR experiences, narrative environments, or prototypes that explore a city that feels alive, anticipatory, and emotionally aware a city that reveals itself moment by moment.
