Not really Cassette Futurism (or Vaporwave) but I think folks here might like it still.

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/8081021

Not really Vaporwave, but not too sure where it fits. These styles inspired a lot of Vaporwave things so I thought you might enjoy.

(low-res) video: SQUID Device from Strange Days - YouTube

This is the actual hero prop used in the movie. The 'face plate' was interchangeable to make it look like several different units throughout the film. I made this video just to show that it still functions and what the prop actually does when turned on. (Which isn't much, some LEDs come on and the disc inside spins up...)

宝可梦图鉴的设计,在细节上有借鉴过其他艺术家的设计以及官方设计图,很遗憾的是没有对屏幕内UI做设计处理(偷懒)

The design of the Pokémon Pokédex draws on the designs of other artists and official design drawings in terms of details. Unfortunately, there is no design processing for the on-screen UI (lazy)

Interfacer robot designed by Klaus GmbH, a Coalition company based in West Germany.
// The 4096 Meister is the perfect example of a typical German robot - widely considered to be elegant and expertly crafted, but with a somewhat older and simpler user experience than their American-based competitors.

Legend

  1. Giant-size TV. Based on the designs already available, this one has a super-bright screen for daylight viewing and stereo sound system.
  2. Electronic video movie camera, requires no film, just a spool of tape. Within ten years video cameras like this could be replaced by 3-D holographic recorders.
  3. Flat screen TV. No longer a bulky box, TV has shrunk to a thickness of less than five centimetres. This one is used to order shopping via a computerised shopping centre a few kilometres away. The system takes orders and indicates if any items are not in stock.
  4. Video disc player used for recording off the TV and for replaying favourite films.
  5. Domestic robot rolls in with drinks. One robot, the Quasar, is already on sale in the USA. Reports indicate that it may be little more than a toy however, so it will be a few years before 'Star Wars' robots tramp through our homes.
  6. Mail slot. By 1990, most mail will be sent in electronic form. Posting a letter will consist of placing it in front of a copier in your home or at the post office. The electronic read-out will be flashed up to a satellite, to be beamed to its destination. Like many other electronic ideas, the savings in time and energy could be enormous.

A Type III civilization also called a galactic civilization—can control energy at the scale of its entire host galaxy.
I'm using the "Kardashev Scale" here to differentiate civilization on the basis of power consumption.

Some info from Wikipedia

Initially (1988–89), the Reatta featured a touchscreen computer interface, marketed as the Electronic Control Center (ECC), that included radio and climate control functions, date reminder, trip computer and user-configurable overspeed alarm, as well as diagnostic access to the vehicle's electronic systems and sensors. Later models were equipped with conventional push-button stereo and climate controls. The new system eliminated the trip computer functionality and the climate control buttons could access diagnostic information, replacing the diagnostic scanner capability formerly provided by the touchscreen.
