You might be right. But if you're a consumer, these kind of concepts do nothing but frustrate because it:

1) sets totally unrealistic expectations

2) is total fantasy

And lesser informed people often think these are real if they see them. I recalling having had multiple people tell me about the "iPhone holographic keyboard" from some silly concept porn a few years ago...

> is total fantasy

Oh come on, can't we imagine things that don't exist for fun?

Yes, but suspension of disbelief is hard (and even harder for us here). The objects you design need to be able to do their jobs or have convincing explanations for why they look like what they do.

Moebius got away with a spaceship shaped like Dumbo from Disneyland's Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride because the technology that surrounded it was so advanced that a spaceship shaped like that was no big deal. Seemed perfectly doable.

Sure, that's why it's called fantasy.

No.
