Abstract
The elaboration of future narratives in Design Fiction has always been an individual activity, showing the unique vision of those who elaborated them and proposed the diegetic artifacts. Creating narratives collectively became possible with the Participatory Design Fiction methodology, which recommends, however, that participants are in the same physical location. We present a methodology to enable the creation of future narratives and their smart devices by a group of geographically dispersed volunteers, the Participatory Design Fiction Extend. With it, it was possible to train people, without knowledge about Design Fiction, in the elaboration of narratives, as well as about smart devices in the future and diegetic artifacts. Volunteers produced narratives and proposed intelligent devices that were later analyzed looking for similarities, differences and complementary ideas, in the light of the concepts of the collective unconscious, enabling the construction of a unique narrative and an intelligent device that contemplated most of the foreseen functionalities.
