What do we mean when we say that we bring research to reality? 🔬 📄 💆♀️ 👜 🎉 For us bringing research to reality means that we support the process of creating tangible outcomes and interactions that you can experience and explore! 📦 The Haptic Bits prototyping kit lets you sketch with haptics and introduces soma design and on how you as a designer/developer/ technician can design better experiences by addressing all senses and your full body. The bits need to have a low threshold so that they can easily be explored during a 1-day workshop without any prior knowledge. This kit is the result of research conducted at Uppsala University,within the Department of Materials Science and the Microsystems Technology program, as well as at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in the Department of Media Technology and Interaction Design. This iteration is designed and developed by Charles Windlin, The OK Trade Organisation, and Already Tomorrow. Special thanks to Anders Lundström.

How will tomorrow look like framed by Ai & Creative tech? 🤖✨ We love reflecting on the future and how it will and is affecting the way we play 🎮, work 💼, live 🏠, and learn 📖! Bringing people together is key 🔑 to innovation. And don’t forget diversity of thought! 🌈 Hearing reflections on the world 🌍 from people outside your own industry provides new perspectives 🔄, it boosts your creativity to create new ideas💡! In Mondays Tech talk with Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong Innovation & Tech Committee 🗣️, we brought together a corporate AI strategist 🧠, an HR coach 📋, a Marketing professional 📈, and a start-up entrepreneur 🚀 to hear their take on how Ai and Creative tech is framing the future in their industries. A fun discussion 🎉 with serious reflections 🤔 providing new perspectives for all! What will brand and brand strategy mean and become as AI continues to conquer? How do we tackle diversity and inclusion created by biased data? Where and how can we find our domains to thrive in? 🌱 When is personalization too much? 🤷♂️ Are we reading the terms and conditions 📄 enough? And finally: would you rather have your hair cut ✂️ by a robot fitted with knives and scissors or the chatty hairdresser 💇♂️ down the road? Great collaboration as always Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong 🇸🇪 Innovation & Technology Committee, Blu Ltd - Artificial Intelligence 💻 and The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong Innovation Committee.

🌟 How is AI Transforming Creative Writing? 📚✍️ What if there were systems that could create any kind of fictional text e.g. Novels, poems, short stories, self-help manuals from scratch? 🤔 We joined professor Jussi Holopainen 🎓 for a workshop at School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong 🏫 to explore the topic with the Future Ripples Method 🌊. The ripples led us to both dark futures 🌑 and positive scenarios 🌈 that we will continue to explore. Is it human vs machine 🤖 or human augmented by machine? 💡👫 #Future🌟 #artificialintelligence 💻 #innovativeLearning 📚#itsalreadytomorrow 🔮

Welcome everyone, we are looking forward to a great evening with you all! :) #CreativeMeetup🤝 #community🏘️ #Design🎨 #Innovation💡
For as long as I can remember, I was always the creative type surrounded by rationals. That flipped 180 degrees since I started running Camden in Asia. I am now the business type surrounded by creative minds. And I absolutely LOVE IT. So it was just natural for us to join forces with Already Tomorrow and Heist Design and throw a get together for Business of Design Week. Best of both worlds colliding, topped with great wine. Come meet us this Wednesday! #BODW #agencylife Katarina Ivarsson Anders P Hellberg Joseph Fridner 費約瑟 Sharonna Chan

Let's give the tiniest humans on earth and the ones working with them some extra thoughts this week! ❤️ #worldprematurityday
👩🎨 Most know me as Anna, the product designer, but some might better know me as Anna, the children's book author and illustrator. 👶 When I became a mom, the world literally stopped spinning. Not only for us but we managed to time it exactly when the pandemic hit and hospitals closed for visits. Our son arrived at 23 weeks, which is a little more than half the duration of a regular pregnancy. In Sweden, the neonatal care is phenomenal, and Sweden is one of the countries that saves babies born as early as in week 22. Another amazing fact is that in Sweden, both parents are allowed to stay with their baby at the hospital until the baby is ready to move home with them. 📚 During the four months we stayed with our son at the hospital, I wrote and illustrated a book for him: "Otto and the Machines." It's a picture and fact book that, in a simple way, illustrates and explains the machines that premature babies encounter while staying at a neonatal intensive care unit. I couldn't leave my baby with all his machines so I decided to document them so I could show him later and also to understand them a bit better myself in the process. I am deeply thankful for the support I received and continue to receive to spread it to more families with premature babies and neonatal care units around the world. The book is now available in 5 languages! 🙌 On Friday, the 17th of November, it is the World Prematurity Day. I want to take the opportunity and thank every neonatal nurse and doctor out there for the amazing work you do. Thank you for saving our babies and keeping us parents sane in the process! And thank you for your endless strive to better the care of the tiniest humans on earth. ❤️ #WorldPrematurityDay #NeonatalCare #OttoAndTheMachines #PrematureBabies #tiniesthumansonearth Svenska Prematurförbundet Prematurforeningen Dansk Præmatur Forening Kevyt - Association of Preemie Parents in Finland Already Tomorrow www.ottoandthemachines.com
