  • This technology could have the power to revolutionize the flow of goods and the scope of product markets.

  • Welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 futuristic technologies you didn't know exist.

  • Stop, look, I need to borrow you.

  • He can carry £200 without breaking a sweat and uphill he gets a little push thanks to a metal system on his legs called the Hulk.

  • It's a full human to human interaction that crosses the language barrier.

  • It's truly a magical experience for this list.

  • We'll be looking at innovations that you might have only seen in sci fi movies before that have made their way into the real world.

  • What sci fi technology do you wish was available today?

  • Let us know in the comments Number 10 powered Exoskeletons is an iron man suit actually possible.

  • Well, it turns out that Adam Savage from mythbusters fame isn't the only one with access to really fancy suits.

  • This was a titanium bulletproof iron man suit flying through the freaking air.

  • There's nothing fictional about the operation of this.

  • It is a first prototype and it is raw as hell.

  • But it worked powered.

  • Exoskeleton suits are essentially wearable machines that augment your body's strength and agility.

  • While some encompass the entire body, others attached mainly to the waist and legs on the wrist.

  • The user is wearing a remote control on this remote control.

  • The user is selecting whatever he wants to do if he's sitting and he selects stand up, then the system will give indication it makes some deeps and the user knows.

  • Okay now I have to stand medical applications such as the re walk, allow people with spine injuries to regain a good portion of their mobility.

  • Meanwhile the human universal load carrier, it was built to make it easier for soldiers to carry lots of essential materials.

  • It has the smarts to predict what you're doing and it has to match that motion here at natick soldier system center.

  • Army engineers are starting to put the hulk through its paces, although neither of these will allow you to shoot lasers out of your hands.

  • Yet these types of exoskeleton suits are more available to wear today.

  • Number nine food pills, sci fi films have been teasing the idea of having full food substitution is come in small portions like pills for decades, strawberries.

  • The movie Soylent green shows a world where the masses consume a way for like products meant to help with a food shortage in a true case of life imitating art.

  • A company by the name of Soylent actually sells shakes and powders as nutritional replacements.

  • You know, this idea is going to solve a lot of problems and food that we have not just hunger.

  • It's the environmental impact.

  • It's poorly balanced food which leads to obesity.

  • I'm very optimistic about the future.

  • I think it's going to be great.

  • People are going to be very healthy and energetic.

  • Oh, don't worry, they are immersive lee not made of the same stuff as the products in Soylent green.

  • You got to tell them silent greed is people.

  • Companies like the food pill diet are also producing pills made of dried vegetables meant to replace your typical meal.

  • While these capsules may not solve world hunger, they can bring us closer to having a sustainable food source.

  • Number eight Universal translator.

  • Have you ever noticed that in most science fiction stories everyone somehow manages to speak english.

  • Star trek solved this problem by introducing a device called a universal translator which was able to convert any language into english.

  • Can you understand me?

  • Where's Hoshi?

  • When you need her?

  • Who is Hoshi?

  • That's better.

  • Out here in the real world, we've just started to see this technology emerge.

  • There are plenty of apps available for your smartphone that do a pretty good job of translations already.

  • But beyond those Microsoft, Skype translator does almost real time.

  • Speech to speech translations with the Skype translator.

  • It all starts just as with any other Skype call, you just call someone.

  • But now the difference is the person you're calling doesn't have to speak your language.

  • But I wanted to talk to you about the email that I sent you yesterday.

  • Companies like Waverly Labs are developing earbuds that work in conjunction with your phone to provide translation services.

  • Can you hear me in french?

  • Yes, I can hear you talk french but this is awesome.

  • Number seven laser weapons, wait a minute.

  • This is the future.

  • All the phaser guns in almost every futuristic depiction of gunfights, there's usually some kind of a laser gun involved.

  • Star Wars had blasters and star trek had phasers Mr.

  • Reid the honor is All yours.

  • Mm hmm.

  • Where are these in the real world?

  • Well, the US navy developed the ANSI X three laser weapons system.

  • It operates much like a laser pointer.

  • Except that when you aim it at a target and shoot, you can inflict some real damage laser dazzler weapons have also been developed to throw off a target senses.

  • In both cases, the lasers shoot at the speed of light So you probably won't see visible flying beams like in the movies.

  • Right, Okay.

  • People, you have to tell me these things.

  • Alright, I've been frozen for 30 years.

  • Okay, throw me a fricking bone here.

  • But their ability to neutralize the target is very real.

  • Number six bionic limbs, steve Austin and Jamie Summers both showed the world what having bionic limbs could do for us in the $6 million man.

  • Mm hmm.

  • Although we don't have access to a variety of bionic limbs that allow us to run like cheetahs or lift a car.

  • The field has made big strides in the last few decades.

  • You are in control right now.

  • That is incredible.

  • It was nothing short of thrilling for the first time since I lost my arm.

  • It occurred to me that technology might one day restore.

  • Nearly all the function I lost recent advancements have allowed for artificial appendages to have increased capabilities.

  • And intelligence companies like open bionics unlimited tomorrow and countless others are now producing artificial limbs that use bionic controls and to take a sip of water.

  • You could just turn the wrist so that you could get it easier.

  • But for me personally, having both bionic arms, that's something that is a little bit difficult to me.

  • So if you like me and you're missing two hands, then it may be easier and you may have to just kind of lean over a bit, responding to the smallest of muscle movements or other body influences.

  • Real bionic limbs are catching up to their fictional counterparts.

  • When it comes to bionics, robotics.

  • Ai all these things are going to be huge.

  • Number five replicators slash three D printers.

  • The first time Star Trek, the next generation, showed us what a replicator could do every fan wondered what it would be like to have a machine that could make anything.

  • Thanks to achievements in 3D printing technology, we're now seeing the beginnings of that fancy replicator known as additive manufacturing three D printers are computer controlled devices that use a variety of different materials to create a three D object using layers.

  • The sky really is the limit.

  • When it comes to this technology, you can pretty much design and print anything you like, including a new microphone.

  • Each layer is affixed to the previous one, creating a fully formed object from toys to engineering models to even custom printed body parts.

  • Three D printing is rapidly changing how we manufacture many goods around the world.

  • The three D printing industry is expanding rapidly and growing ever faster and more efficient, but it will be some time before we see the promised improvements like shorter supply chains, reductions in overproduction, the elimination of warehouses for spare parts and the use of recyclable materials in closed loop systems.

  • Number four teleportation.

  • When we're stuck in 5:00 traffic with no end in sight.

  • We wish we could just snap our fingers and magically be home.

  • Is it possible that in my lifetime instead of driving home for a long time on the freeways of Los Angeles and really losing my temper several times and stopping the car in heavy traffic and getting out with a broom handle and hitting another car that I will get into a cube and be like While the idea of teleporting like a star trek officer has been around for years, it's always been beyond our reach.

  • Last star trek reference, we promise.

  • Although the ability to teleport matter is still a work of fiction scientists have been able to use quantum teleportation.

  • It involves the ability to teleport the state of one photon to another even when they are separated by a great distance.

  • The technique they say could be used big time when it comes to the future.

  • Quantum internet that scientists are planning.

  • It could help make data very much secure.

  • Unfortunately, these advancements may not get you out of any traffic jams this year.

  • However, the news does have scientists excited by the possibilities it may bring in the future.

  • It's a huge engineering challenge and it's not impossible.

  • But it is really hard.

  • Success though.

  • Would most definitely change the world.

  • Number 33 D.

  • Holograms, black umbrella.

  • The use of holographic technology has been seen in countless forms of fictional media but has been less visible in the real world.

  • Help me Obi wan Kenobi you're my only hope.

  • While a combination of projectors and mirrors have been used to create the illusion of three D holograms.

  • People are working on ways to recreate the ones that we've seen in our favorite films, brilliant minds at Brigham Young University have worked to produce more advanced images known as volumetric displays by using specialized equipment.

  • They actually used the Princess Leia hologram from the original Star Wars as their inspiration.

  • Here we see the culmination of three years of effort.

  • Our display is projecting to small particle focused right here.

  • It's being dragged up and down vertically raster.

  • This image of Princess Led, another type of three D interactive hologram can be seen through the use of headsets which augments the user's view Microsoft hololens has also shown many different applications for exciting and developing technology number two hoverboards slash hover technology.

  • The release of back to the future.

  • Part two ignited the imagination of fans when they saw marty McFly riding a hoverboard around hill valley.

  • He's not a behind the scenes interview director robert Zemeckis trolled fans by indicating that the ones in the movie were real parents groups have not let toy manufacturers make them and we got our hands on some and we put them in the movie ever since.

  • People have been trying to recreate the famous boards.

  • A company called kendo Hover produced a fully functional board which skateboard legend, Tony hawk tried out while it only hovers on a specialized copper surface, it behaves much like marty's did my first car company, Lexus also produced a similar device that hovers over a special track using superconductors within the board itself.

  • They may not exactly be like marty's mattel hoverboard, but they're still pretty cool.

  • Number one cloud seeding technology, Although we live on a planet that is 71% covered by water, only about 3% of it is instantly drinkable in the United States.

  • There's California where in one single year, a historic drought cost the state over 10,000 jobs and nearly $2 billion a lack of rain can make people wish they had access to a sci fi weather controlling machine.

  • Dubai recently made headlines by using cloud seeding technology to bring water down and what they basically did.

  • They had a fleet of drones that flew up into cloud cover and they used electrical charges to force water droplets to combine into larger ones.

  • During the process drones send electric shocks into clouds, triggering excessive condensation and eventually some rainfall.

  • Common seating agents used are dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide, silver, I died or simple salts like sodium chloride.

  • There's a future where this and similar technologies could be used worldwide to regularly help ease heatwaves and droughts advancing.

  • Our current cloud seeding tech could potentially save lives.

  • It's very important that we take advantage of every opportunity we have to generate water in a sustainable way.

  • Do you agree with our picks?

This technology could have the power to revolutionize the flow of goods and the scope of product markets.
