# Futuristic Film MP3s The Minority Report Media Player is Inspired by the Movie of Same Name By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minority-report-media-player References: [designbuzz](http://www.designbuzz.com/entry/minority-report-media-player-blessed-cool/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/image_file.asp?portfolio_id=5336080&individual_id=152518&s=4&v=4&a=5&t=0) It is quite surprising that it took this long for something like the Minority Report media player to be designed. Considering how much merchandise was inspired by futuristic films like 'TRON: Legacy' and sci-fi shows like 'Doctor Who,' a cult classic like 'Minority Report' should have inspired a slew of products and concepts. Especially when you keep in mind how stunning and revolutionary the technology looked in the movie. Conceived by Argentina-based designer Sebastian Pandolfi, the Minority Report media player was designed for a university project. The product incorporates the [halo technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-holographic-projector) shown in the movie and is purported to project music, videos and images through nodes directly into the brain. Its [minimalist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midi-controller-concept) perfectly complements the overall look that the movie achieved so stunningly well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Media Players:** The Minority Report media player showcases the potential for futuristic media player designs that incorporate technologies like halo projection. - **Movie-inspired Merchandise:** The design of the Minority Report media player highlights the untapped potential for merchandise inspired by cult classic movies like 'Minority Report'. - **Revolutionary Technology in Films:** The stunning and revolutionary technology portrayed in movies like 'Minority Report' can spark innovative product concepts, such as the Minority Report media player. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** The concept of futuristic media players, like the Minority Report media player, presents disruptive innovation opportunities within the consumer electronics industry. - **Entertainment Merchandising:** The lack of merchandise inspired by 'Minority Report' suggests an untapped market for innovative entertainment merchandise tied to cult classic films. - **Film and Entertainment Technology:** The design of the Minority Report media player showcases the potential for integrating revolutionary film technologies into real-world products within the film and entertainment technology industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Millennium-Inspired CD Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orion-cd-player.md) - [Futuristic Old-Fashioned Phonographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-retro-player.md) - [Modernized Portable Music Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tl1-music-player.md) - [See-Through Sci-Fi Turntable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harman-kardon-record-player.md) - [Modular Physical Media Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winamp-media-player-device.md) - [Retrofuturistic Streaming Audio Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-streaming-audio-player.md) - [Premium Concept CD Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthony-chupp.md) - [Enhanced Music Display Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futureahead.md) - [Retro Smartphone Music Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-music-player.md)
