Exploring the potential of the fourth dimension as a speculative design element: reflections and applications
Exploring the potential of the fourth dimension as a speculative design element: reflections and applications
The development of conceptual and imaginary futures is crucial for designers
since it opens possibilities to think about applications of new technologies. With
advances of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), there is a constant
need to integrate 3D elements in interaction design. With this, it is possible to
imagine new worlds that could eventually go beyond the third dimension. This
paper discusses the implications of the fourth dimension as a speculative design
element. Through the discussion of interdisciplinary research and by mixing
disciplines like mathematics, physics, design and architecture, it describes the
potential of looking at “unseen” dimensions.

Abstract
The development of conceptual and imaginary futures is crucial for designers
since it opens possibilities to think about applications of new technologies. With
advances of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), there is a constant
need to integrate 3D elements in interaction design. With this, it is possible to
imagine new worlds that could eventually go beyond the third dimension. This
paper discusses the implications of the fourth dimension as a speculative design
element. Through the discussion of interdisciplinary research and by mixing
disciplines like mathematics, physics, design and architecture, it describes the
potential of looking at “unseen” dimensions.
