Designing for emerging technologies

In the third year of my studies I chose to specialize in AI. In this project I was challenged to design for a emerging or non existent technology. The technology I chose is the neurallink chip, an emerging technology from a company founded by Elon Musk. I had to come up with a concept and see which part of this concept I could develop as a prototype to convey the essence of the idea. I substantiated my choices with scientific articles on this subject.

Obstacles

I had to make a lot off assumptions regarding technology for this project. I assumed an ideal scenario in which the neurallink is a household technological object. But because this doesn't exist yet, there where no design principles that I was able to follow. This was interesting from a UX perspective because I had to design purely within the context in which this was taking place for the user, and base my design choices on that.

This made for a great UX focussed project, but it made it hard to get past the conceptualization fase. So if I could redo the project, I would focus on an existing technologie and use best practices and design principles to make a full prototype, instead of partially prototyping something.
