Computing Technologies

Existing

Emerging

  • The communication devices within Black Panther that doubled as audio surveillance systems mirror the functionality of a covert listening device. These are more commonly known as bugs or wires.

  • The bodily function monitors within T'Challa's suit reminded us of a more advanced version of FitBits and medical devices which monitor heart rate, SpO2, etc.

  • Sound absorbent shoes

  • The Maglev trains that were used in Black Panther to transport Vibranium are similar to Japan's magnetic levitation train system.

  • Remote control access of vehicles through a single disk on the hood of a car.

  • Exo-Skeleton suit that redistributes energy from an impact to lessen the blow.

  • Vehicles that can both fly and be fully submerged in water.

  • Controlling interfaces with hand motions rather than physical touch.

  • Holographic, real-time communication

Impossible

Future

  • The forcefield around Wakanda that acts as an invisibility cloak and energy barrier to prevent incoming objects from entering Wakanda.

  • T'Challa's suit which stored kinetic energy for redistribution and use was impossible because kinetic energy cannot be stored.

  • Advanced medical technologies that help doctors visualize and diagnose issues more rapidly.

  • Vibranium
