It's pretty exciting to know there are people out there actively trying to create tech from our favorite movies and TV shows, and Dr. Peter Jansen is one such person. He's been working on recreating the functionality of the "Star Trek" tricorder, and the Arducorder is his most recent prototype.
We're also talking about the Myst TV series reportedly in development; what '90s PC game would you want to see resurrected into a show?
