A concrete analysis maps 375 fictional screens and 22 technologies from 33 Marvel films (about 4,000 minutes) into five macro-trends, and presents real prototypes and evaluations. Discussed technologies include a peripheral neural interface called Alt Rigo (proof of concept), Humane’s controversial AI pin, an open-source genetic editor called Open Crisp, and an operational phone agent named Blendy; the work serves as a verifiable inventory of cinematic interfaces and their real-world counterparts.
