3Good list, but 3D films aren't exactly a prediction since they already existed at the time, as did holograms (though no hologram now or then can be projected freely in air as opposed to appearing to pop out of a background surface like a piece of glass), as did prototype flying cars (which are still as far from widespread adoption today as they were then), as did magnetic card strips that could be swiped.– HypnosiflCommented Jul 20, 2015 at 4:15

1Actually, "holograms...projected freely in air" are available now (although in very limited applications, due to the cost and danger).– TMLCommented Jul 20, 2015 at 4:57

1That pictured flying car is still a vision: "TF-X™ is Terrafugia's vision for the future of personal transportation.". (They do make real ones, though)– BergiCommented Jul 20, 2015 at 19:05

1Further progress on projecting images freely into the air, this time without burning your skin if you try to touch them: spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/consumer-electronics/audiovideo/…– HypnosiflCommented Nov 5, 2015 at 1:55

2Some of your images were dead so I cut them out. See here– GallifreyanCommented Mar 11, 2017 at 16:57

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
