What would be the right tool for an entertaining highly interactive and animated (game-like, but still mostly text based) thing then? Used to be Java applets and Flash. Now is "webapps" and WebGL. Or is that it should have been handrolled using CSS animations and framework-less JS? Or is it more that we're acting like it's 1995 and the web is for reading text documents only, and anything other than that is nerd blasp…

examples?
Minority Report and iron man I are the classic examples, IMO. Interactive holograms, 3D immersion, etc. can’t wait for this era!! Coming soon, it seems (with the “giant heavy headset” caveat)
I'm building my personal website[1] also inspired by FUI design systems. I don't think usability is an issue at all, at least with the design approach I've taken. They're just React components which you could easily feed real data. The visualizations and animations are more difficult to replicate. [1] https://x7ci.engineer/

Very cool, reminds me of 2advanced.com - a very slick flash website from 2001 that now only exists in a museum. https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/gallery/2advanced-studios-v3...
It's funny how this still feels "futuristic". I'd argue sci-fi, or retro-punk (retro-sci-fi?). The elements of design are those from the past about the future, like 80s sci-fi movie design/tropes that became stuck with the genre, along with beige CRT monitors and large floppy disks.

> I am wondering why there isn't design diversity Because it doesn't serve much practical purpose. Uniquely designed websites take much more effort (and cash for companies) to create, and they look cool, but they are much harder to use for the average user It's fine for things like advertisements - I've never gone the website for a movie but I imagine this is what those websites should try to be. Is it worth the effo…
much harder to use for the average user Games use sci-fi looking interfaces all the time and ime they're significantly more intuitive than most business software.

yeah it's interesting how the visual cues for what would give people the impression of something being futuristic have mostly settled into certain styles even as we move forward in time. what could be the possible reasons for this?
could one argue AR designs should be considered more futuristic?
Fake movie UI also is not driven by the same concerns as real-world UI. It's usually much more a flashy center-piece and then just stuff around it that doesn't need to mean anything, because it's not actually intended to be read like a real UI is.
