GLIMPSEE

GLIMPSEE explores a simple premise: what if you could preview multiple futures before making a major life decision? Born during FigBuild 2025, Figma’s first campus design-a-thon, bringing together student designers, developers. The project envisions smart glasses that offer emotional glimpses of different life paths, not detailed predictions.

At its core, GLIMPSEE balances exploration with groundedness. Priority filters and impact maps help you navigate multiple timelines, and "Stillness Mode" counters the anxiety that can come with having too much foresight. GLIMPSEE is about finding equilibrium between seeing and being—using future insights without losing yourself in them.

Topic

“Imagine you wake up tomorrow with a superpower - a new, magical ability that helps you tackle a major challenge in your life. Every superpower needs a toolkit to help harness its full potential. Without the right tools, even the greatest powers can become overwhelming, chaotic, or sinister.”

Superpower

WHAT IF?


You wake up with a superpower to glimpse into your future to see how life choices might play out. You don’t see all the details, just get a short “trailer” of the future possibilities before you make a major life decision.
