1 Holographic clothing
From Psycho-Pass (2012-2019). In the dystopian anime, set in 2112, holograms are common tech used for people to communicate, create homes, and even craft clothes on-demand. The Holo looks like a powder compact but lets users shop virtually and transform their outfits in real time. No fittings, no waste, no labour violations. And it is faster than today's fast fashion.
2 Self-lacing sneakers.
From Back To The Future (1985).A Simple promise shoelaces that tighten and weave into a little bow as soon as we put our feet into the Nikes.
Marty McFly did it in one smooth movement. Nike has been working on the tech since. They've released some versions in 2011, 2016, and 2019, but they cost too much to be practical.
3 X-ray glasses.
From The World is Not Enough (1999). Pierce Brosnan's Bond had a pair of blue-tinted X-ray glasses that could spot concealed weapons. To create the effect, each scene was filmed twice once with regular clothing and once with special costumes that simulated the look of an X-ray scan. We know exactly how people will misuse the real thing. But we still want one!
