Visionary Design Projects
Since the 1990s, Philips Design has conducted a range of visionary projects, exploring future landscapes of interaction between people and new technologies. Ideas and design concepts created during these exploratory projects inspired manufacturers, researchers and designers, as well as generating feedback from the general public.
Philips Design’s own research efforts are focused on cutting-edge domains, such as Ambient Intelligence, Wearable Electronics, Experience Design, Open Tools and Connected Planet. Initiatives include:
- Vision of the Future (1996)
- Vision on the Move(1996)
- LiMe – Living Memory (1997)
- Pogo (2000)
- Delphi – Exploration into Possible Futures (2001)

Famous quotes containing the words visionary, design and/or projects:
“The visionary denies the truth to himself, the liar only to others.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldn’t be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. There’s a design in everything.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
