Hybrid Futures
Prof Deb Polson
Group Lead

An expert in encouraging both careful and unexpected interactions between people, places & systems through the design of digital infrastructures, data-driven systems, and dynamic interfaces.
Regardless of the context, projects are resolved using custom design methods, game production technologies, experience design approaches, & always in collaboration with diverse stakeholders. Over the last 25 years, Deb’s partners have ranged from Plastics NZ to Marvel LA.
Join Deb to distract a young patient from painful procedures through AR play, light up drab spaces with smart and responsive projections, create digital twins of circular systems to better understand the consequences of both action and inaction, gamify difficult situations to help people learn tricky stuff, conjure sharp digital models to evaluate and calibrate the impact of our work, develop applications to better access the stories of our diverse communities… or something else you have in mind!?
