SXSW 2012

Researcher
Institute for the Future
Upon graduating from design school at Ohio State University, Nicolas Weidinger co-founded Cobego, an industrial design startup that specializes in making ideas come to life. In the summer of 2011, he moved to San Francisco to expand his horizons and to participate in the IFTF intership program. Though he spent most of the summer mumbling about boats in space, IFTF decided to keep him. Now Nicolas spends his time developing Artifacts from the Future and investigating novel technologies/experiences. Outside of IFTF, he enjoys playing video games, tinkering with matter replicators, and designing an underwater research facility.
