Scenario prompts 26 May 2025
The scenario prompt for today is Roblox. Roblox is further blurring the line between digital and physical worlds. The question is whether you could do the same with your products. Particularly relevant for retail, but I am sure there are BtoB applications possible.
The other prompts are recording holographics, immortality, seven cultural trends, oxygen batteries, quantum sensors, Ayurveda, a supercomputer in space, and how to rescue a failing strategy.
Bring your product into the metaverse
