This study utilizes science fiction prototyping and Live Action Role Playing (LARP) to enhance the strategic planning processes within corporations and governments. Participants are encouraged to actively imagine and shape future societal outcomes by deeply engaging in scifi-based LARP, which emphasizes psychological immersion within physical spaces. The evaluation by workshop participants through interviews suggested that this method allowed participants to embody characters and explore complex relationships, fostering a comprehensive understanding of future scenarios. The immersive experience not only promotes alignment among diverse stakeholders but also enables detailed discussions on the potential societal impacts of proposed solutions. Post-project observations indicate that the benefits of this immersive approach are likely to have lasting effects.
