I was looking at my Popular Science magazine (yeah, that's right) and I came across some articles that I couldn't help but relate to animes/mangas that include technologies that don't exist yet
For example:

Angelic Layer- In this series, there are little fighting robots that people are able to control with their minds with some head gear

And now scientist are making robots that you can control with your maind through an interface helmet. It's being made for medical purposes now, but hey, maybe it'll evolve into something Angelic Layer-ish.
"Control a Robot With Your Mind" article

Laputa, Castle in the Sky- In this movie, there are huge plane-like structures that just seem to stay in the sky, never landing.
Laputa ships
Now they're making a solar powered plane that, at the moment, can stay in the air for years. It doesn't quite look livable,but still...
The Forever Plane

And for those 'glasses' that some characters wear that have special information going through the glasses...
Heads-Up Display Glasses

So, has anyone else found any technologies that have appeared in animes/mangas that are being made/have been made, or find this interesting? Or are there any technologies you'd like to see built?
