Collision Anthology: Foresight-Informed Innovation

Research Programs

Overview

Autodesk Research’s Collision Anthology leverages science fiction as a medium to imagine hypothetical realities that could be realized in 10-20 years’ time. The result is a series of speculative fictions that merge present-day innovation projects with strategic foresight practice, a discipline for understanding how issues unfolding today could affect our business tomorrow. These research-driven stories construct three possible futures that our company, community of innovators, customers, and society at large could find ourselves inhabiting.
