Some of the Blade RunnerBlade Runner technologies that have come to fruition by 2019... include:
- Giant electronic billboards that show full motion video ads.
- Crosswalk Walk/Don’t Walk indicators that include audio prompts for the visually-impaired.
- Self-driving cars (borderline).
- Access to police databases from in-car computer.
- Voice-interactive computing (but not magical photo enhancement).
- Electronically dimming windows.
- Some aspects of gene engineering and creation of artificial animals (for example, a rat kidney has been 3D printed from stem cells; this is perhaps also borderline).
- Video phones.
