It is no surprise that engineers and scientists working on the latest technology today are the biggest idolaters of scientific fiction. Many of them tend to choose work projects that aim to bring about the kind of advanced technology, the technology they and many others have grown by reading comic books featured in movies.

Today, this conceptualization is different. Below you can find some examples.

Universal Translators

Presented first in science fiction films such as Start Trek, Doctor Who and many others as a device that enables the translation of extraterrestrial language into English, universal translators have been a landmark for science fiction for years and years. An early appearance can also be found in the Murray Leinster novel in 1945 with the title "First Contact" where the aforementioned concept takes shape.

Today, with many online translation services, the most common fantasy inventory mentioned above is the headphones called "Waverly Pilot", which translate several languages in real time. Microsoft has just completed demo tests for a universal translator based on "Deep Learning" techniques.

Artificial Intelligence Assistants

While many of the serial films today include super-computers, whose principal functions are operated through voice as the main command, the idea of an artificial intelligence assistant is slightly less common. One of the first appearances of such a concept was in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey's HAL 9000", where an AI-based assistant controls the discovery unit's "Discovery One" systems, where he also interacts with the spacecraft crew.

In 2018, the category of smart loudspeakers has been heavily contested by Google, Amazon and Apple, where various functions ranging from searching for information to the control of various home appliances through such an assistant (Alexa as a concrete example) has been made possible.

holograms

When talking about the holograms, there is no way to remember the scenes of Star Wars, namely the appearances of Princess Leia in dialogues with Luke Skywalker. Today, holograms for many remain the greatest representations of the future. In reality, holographic projections are not so common in our daily life, but there is a great deal of work in this regard. At Brigham Young University, researchers have demonstrated technology incorporating clear 3D holograms, a technology that is readily available for mass use.
