1 comment By Andi

If you're anything like us, the prospect of gadgets and technology from Sci-Fi movies becoming something real gets your mind racing! With hoverboards from Back to the Future becoming a reality (though sadly no time-travel) it makes you wonder what else is about to make its way from science fiction to science fact.

We've put together just a short list of things that are quickly making their way into the realm of possibility – and while we probably won't be able to afford them any time soon, the fact that they're being made is super exciting. Check them out!

1) Holograms

You can't talk about Sci-Fi and not talk about Holograms. Star Wars, Star Trek, and everything in between – the 360 viewing of an object is the future.

Naturally, something this cool can't be contained to cinema and TV so people like the folks at Leia Display are doing some about it.

Using water vapour to project onto, Leia Displays offer a 3D projection that also uses motion technology to make its visuals fully interactive.

Everyone's going on about graphics in games these days, and while we agree that the games coming out these days look stunning, poor old sound gets forgotten about.

Gaming headsets are already a core part of many gamer's setup, offering chat features, good sound, and most importantly – the ability to game into the early hours of the morning without waking the rest of the house. But what about when you've got the house to yourself, you want to show off a new game, or you want a totally immersive experience?

Logitech have always offered an amazing range of computer peripherals in headsets, mice, keyboards and beyond. Now the G910, more affectionately known as The Orion Spark takes the gaming keyboard to a whole new level.

Meeting a perfect balance between form and function, durable construction also ensures Logitech's latest keyboard will take anything you can throw at it. And interchangeable palm rests and a custom key design ensures you'll do just that in absolute comfort.

Intelligent lighting throughout the board allows you to customize and isolate your preferred gaming zones, whether it's for FPS, RTS, MOBAs, MMOs or any other collection of letters you want to throw together. And with 16.8 Million colours to play with, we're sure you'll find a lighting scheme that'll suit your style of play and personality.

Dropping the bulky LCD screens from previous models, the G910 works directly with your smartphone the the Arx Control App. Monitor your computer's per­formance, remotely control your media, or receive in-game info from supported titles. There's even a mount for your smartphone, designed to fit any size – so even if you're not using the app, you've still got a sweet parking spot for your phone.
