Abstract
Science fiction (SF) feature films offer viewers a glimpse into the future, revealing unique interfaces, social systems, and complex human relations. In this paper, we report a trial conducted by the Science Fiction Special Interest Group (SF-SIG) to gain insight into probable human-centered design (HCD) trends. First, characteristic scenes from the movie Minority Report were analyzed. Our argument and analysis began with a top–down arrangement of scenes in descending order of importance. Second, we classified extracted characteristic scenes while considering the worldview of the movie. As a result, suggestions were obtained pertaining to the direction of HCD in the near future. The results of this analysis can be immediately applied as a design tool.
