Spoiler Alert, HCI elements will plateau at voice control and touch displays. Why? Because the human body is what it is. It isn't going any further than that until it jumps to something matrix style, but that movie has already been made. Alien Computer Interaction however could offer some interesting opportunities.

Forget hoverboards and dick tracy watches, Star Trek still has plenty of imaginitive technologies that don't yet exist. Between cold fusion, warp drive, teleporters, transcoders, etc... there is still plenty of good tech to make an entertaining movie with.

We've been directly stimulating the acoustic nerve since the 1960s. The first commercial "bionic eye" was FDA approved in February. Various brain-computer interfaces, invasive and not, have proven practical if still rather crude over the last 20 years.

"Matrix style" is already here, it just doesn't use a giant SO-239 in the back of the head.
