Ideation Quest: Relaunch of Philips Design activities in Second Life
In June 2008 Philips Design re-launched its activities in Second Life, this time on its own island called Philips Design Experiences. We will continue our journey into this virtual world, our conversations and working with people, to co-create new ideas and solutions and to imagine new futures. We have big plans, and have exiting ideas to explore.
We will start with the ‘Ideation Quest’ in Second Life. This is, we believe, is an innovative and playful way to engage people in the creation of ideas and concepts. We see at as the logical continuation of Philips Design’s ongoing exploration into virtual worlds as a platform for co-creation and innovation.
In this initial Ideation Quest, Philips Design invites people to participate exploring the topic of sustainable living in the future. Participants at the Philips Island will follow a route of five playful and creative steps, inspired by the design concept - Off the Grid: Sustainable Habitat 2020. This concept looks at possible solutions for energy and housing issues predicted in the year 2020. Off the Grid is part of the Philips Design Probe program and is a continuation of the SKIN Probe which was listed as “best inventions of 2007” by TIME magazine.
The Quest will begin at the new Philips Design Co-creation island in SL on Monday June 16th at SLT 12 PM (CEST 21:00) and will continue for 4 weeks (SLurl). The Ideation Quest is a collaboration between the University of Innsbruck, Avaty and Philips Design.
