Welcome to Cassette Futurism Lemmy and Mbin Community.

A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.

Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

For measuring things that can be measured. Personal project somewhat inspired by Star Trek TNG's tricorder.

It has a very TNG Tricorder feel to it. I love it.

It would actually make sense in-universe somewhere 5 to 10 years before TNG.

I’m so used to generated art, that seeing something with intact details like the text is actually surprising and refreshing!

The design and colors are perfect. You should add a little more LCARS design to the screen.

This is not OC, sorry for the confusion.

I only add [Not OC] to the title in communities where most posts are OC.

Something about that contoured window with the old school red LEDs behind it really resonates with me.

Looks like Sally Acorn's handheld, Nicole, in SatAM.
