How new technologies will impact individuals and communities is the focus of Vision of the Future, which explores the interaction of life and technology in the near future. Experts from different disciplines worked together, looking at emerging trends in society and technology, and created ideas for new products and services in the various domains of life -- personal, domestic, public and mobile. The full set of results, including videos and simulations, are on permanent display at Philips' headquarters in the Netherlands.

" The Philips management team deserves a great deal of credit for facilitating a comprehensive strategic exercise to stimulate new ideas and mobilize support for future product explorations. In this era of short-term thinking, it is refreshing to see a company allocate funds for long-term envisioning."
