futuristic technology

Advanced imagined devices

Technology that seems to belong to a more advanced era—sleek, innovative, or seemingly impossible by current standards.

The phrase appears in marketing, science fiction, and tech journalism to describe anything from concept cars to AI assistants: The demo showcased futuristic technology that felt straight out of a sci-fi movie.

What counts as futuristic shifts constantly as yesterday's marvels become today's mundane.
