With news of hoverboards in development and Nike releasing self-tying shoes, it seems like the fantastic future depicted in the film is coming ever closer to a potential reality.
Since the early 2000s, there have been many attempts to create hoverboards. Independent inventors, companies and entertainers (including the hosts of Mythbusters and The Gadget Show) have produced blueprints, prototypes and even commercial models of hoverboards with varying degrees of success. The boards have ranged from being unsuccessful, to having the ability to hover but not being able to support much weight, to supporting weight but not hovering far or high, to actually functioning quite effectively.
The three most viable hoverboards at the moment are Lexus’ SLIDE, Greg Henderson’s Hendo Hoverboard, and Catalin Alexandru Duru’s hoverboard, which he designed and built himself.

However, the only downside to the SLIDE is that it only works on a specific specialized track, and cannot be ridden on normal terrain, so its practicality for consumer or regular use is limited. However, despite the fact that the SLIDE cannot function outside of a specialized track, the technology involved in making it is sophisticated and innovative, and may lead to a more versatile product in the future.

These are housed in cryostats – reservoirs of liquid nitrogen that cool the superconductors to -197°C” according to Lexus. “The board is then placed above a track containing permanent magnets. When the board is cooled to its operating temperature the track’s magnetic flux lines are ‘pinned’ into place, maintaining the hover height of the board.”

Hendo currently has several prototypes and designs in production, and hopes to release to the public soon. They also offer a “whitebox” developers kit, which contains the required materials if somebody wants to try and build their own hoverboard using the technology included in the box.

The company is also working to make their surface even more accessible.

The hoverboard is propellor-powered, and he has proven its effectiveness by setting a Guinness World Record. In May, he travelled 275.9 meters at a height of five metres in a little over a minute. Duru’s hoverboard is currently at the stage of a functional prototype, which he has flown himself, and he is currently in the process of continuing to develop and refine his design with his company Omni Hoverboards.

In 2011, Nike released a limited number of shoes that were modeled after the self-tying Nike shoes in the film called the Nike Mag, with proceeds from sales going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. While these shoes looked the same as the ones in the film, they were not actually self-lacing.

The first pair was given to Michael J. Fox, and other pairs are available through an auction, with proceeds also going to the Foundation. While they are currently only on limited release via auction, the Nike Mag shoes are part of research that Nike is conducting in attempt to produce viable shoes for athletes that may have a more practical, widespread future.

Sure, trains and buses are great but travelers will always want the individual freedom to go where they want and do what they want. Enter the Fluidi cab design from Arthur Kenzo, Francois Hurtaud and Anne-Sophie Blanchet, designed to scoot onto the roads and help electrically relieve some of the problem.
