    Another Star Trek item, from The Next Generation IIRC this time for me with the Holodeck. It beats sticking a helmet on to play aVR game, you would never get that immersive wearing an Oculus Rift.

    Droids from Star Wars, or specifically 'personalities' for robots. I love R2D2, whistling to himself as he goes about the galaxy, insulting his mate C3PO, and generally what sounds like the robot equivalent of swearing in much of the films.

    Re: Features - QOTW: What is your coolest technology from the films?

    Hmm, I'm going to say the various bits of medical technology from Star Trek, especially that pill that regrows kidneys that's used in ST:4 The Voyage Home.
    Minority Report's UI would probably be second.
    Third place would be the Arc reactor (and the mini "personal" version) from Iron Man.

    But I'm still waiting for an explanation of the three sea shells... (Demolition Man)

    Anything from Despicable Me is mind-blowing.

    It's all about Bernard's Watch (not really tech though).

    That or a holodeck!
