Abstract
Science fiction (SciFi) 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 (SIG-SciFi) to gain insight into probable human-centered design (HCD) trends and the database of scenes collected to be used as good references for futuristic design. Characteristic scenes from the movie Minority Report, X-Men II, and The Island were analyzed. Our argument and analysis began with a top-down arrangement of scenes in descending order of importance. Then, extracted characteristic scenes were classified hierarchically 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 are arranged into the database which can be immediately applied as a design tool.
