Hackaday Superconference 2017 Keynote - Syd Mead : The Future is Now

Syd Mead has been inventing our future for over sixty years. Originator of the title Visual Futurist, he has designed everything from yachts to watches to film sets. Since he’s been interviewed several times about his work, we will focus this presentation on his design process and his work beyond film.

What a joy to watch him show off, make jokes and roast clients or designs. Too bad he’s gone but his time was well spent.

Would have loved to see the slides rather than needless close ups on the speaker

[@Fractal_Farms]

TJ Welsh ah man. I saw your comment before the presentation started and I'm already disappoint

[@LogicBob]

Yeah, that's super disappointing. They need to do it like the Defcon talks.

[@Garganzuul]

Somebody did edit in pictures, probably anything they could find. So that's nice...

[@djmips]

anything they could find? What do you mean?

[@Garganzuul]

djmips, any images they could find online.

Genius

[@Kenxstudios]

He was incorrect about Albert Robida, He was born in the early 19th century not the late 17th century. 30:07

[@dougg1075]

When a guest of his caliber makes a corny joke you LAUGH!
