History Main / TechnologyPorn

* The ViewerFriendlyInterface in ''Series/NCISLosAngeles''. McGee was practically doing a [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]] drool on it.

* The Creator/RobertAHeinlein juveniles like ''Literature/HaveSpaceSuitWillTravel'' (in which the protagonist gets a secondhand spacesuit working) goes into extensive detail on how it works at a time when no-one had made a spacesuit. Justified as Heinlein wanted his young readers to grow up and become engineers and rocket scientists to [[IWantMyJetPack create the future that he was writing about]].

* The ViewerFriendlyInterface in ''Series/NCISLosAngeles''. [[HollywoodNerd McGee]] was practically doing a [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]] drool on it.

* Some of the commercials for the Microsoft Surface lineup, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj1_8JCdWiE this]], tend to have closeups of sleek exteriors and the electronics and mechanisms inside. With epic and/or inspirational music playing in the background.

** The ''{{Eldoran}}'' and ''Anime/BraveSeries'' (being the {{Spiritual Successor}}s to ''Anime/TransformersVictory'') have a lot of interlocking pistons and gears in the {{Transformation Sequence}}s of its CombiningMecha, especially ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''. Just look at [[https://youtu.be/wODKm9cI9Lw&fmt=18 Final Fusion.]]
** ''Franchise/{{Zoids}}'' does this from time to time, particularly in ''Anime/ZoidsNewCentury'' when the Liger switches between modes.
** From ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', the [[CombiningMecha SRX's]] "[[https://youtu.be/F5IBlMjYpXQ&fmt=18 Variable Formation]]" is one of the best.

* ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'' is full of TechnologyPorn, from descriptions of psychogenic drugs of the future (Accela) to Lain's HackerCave to an entire episode filled with strange shots of technology and [[MindScrew god knows what else]].

* The works of Kosuke Fujishima like ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' & ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest''.
* The painstaking detail in which the Texhnolysis process is depicted in ''Anime/{{Texhnolyze}}'' (duh) certainly qualifies, especially seeing how Doc, the doctor performing the operation has nearly orgasmic reactions throughout it, and makes clear in her dialogue that she considers it an erotic experience.
* The introduction of ''[[https://youtu.be/N7T-6ThKoJ0 Madox-01.]]''

* Anime/MobileSuitGundam's first battle starts with [[TheHero Amuro]] reading Project V manual for Gundam complete with rather detailed diagrams. Supplementary materials go even further with detailed explanation of science behind almost every tech used and assembly instructions for [[MerchandiseDriven HG model kits]] are often broken up with illustrations showing various internal working of Mobile Suit in questions along with description of various parts functions.
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory'' deserves mention here due to the OVA's emphasis on the SuperPrototype mecha in question, specifically their vital role in the story.
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'', which is weighted more towards long-time fans, is full of Technology Porn, from the suits to the cockpit displays.
* Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS being gritty UsedFuture setting had more than one scene of the mechs - usually Scopedogs - in various stages of disassembly and repair. The whole first 15 minutes or so of Last Red Shoulder OVA are dedicated entirely to the team modifying four [=ATs=] into Turbo Custom variants. Supplementary materials have detailed diagrams of internal workings of every mech in the show too.
* Manga/{{Akira}}. The manga and anime, especially the motorcycle scenes. Creator/KatsuhiroOtomo's obsessive eye for detail makes for some of the best SceneryGorn [[SceneryPorn and porn]].

* The only part of LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya that was made in 3D (well, obvious 3D), was the futuristic videogame "world." Tons of ships and views of torpedoes being loaded and general "technology smut."
* This is one of the many appeals of ''Manga/AirGear.''
* An in-universe example from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' would be Winry's reaction to Rush Valley, the automail mecca of Amestris.
* In ''Anime/TransformersArmada'', Unicron gets another chance, after [[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie the movie]], to cause massive {{Nerdgasm}}s, as seen [[https://youtu.be/fZCw1qD3_L0&NR=1 here.]]
* In ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'' twenty years later, seeing Primus transform caused quite a few [[JawDrop jaws to drop]] in the fandom. Lesser examples include Optimus Prime's SuperMode sequence, and any shot of him as a flying fire truck.
* The CGI anime ''{{Transformers}}'' series tend to have {{Transformation Sequence}}s that mimic the toys, i.e. they're really long and detailed.
* Creator/ShojiKawamori graduated as an aircraft engineer, and entered the animation industry only because there weren't many open vacancies in Japanese aircraft industry in the early [=80s=]. So when producer Noboru Ishiguro needed a mecha designer for ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'', he knew whom to ask: Kawamori was a friend and a schoolmate of ''Macross''s artist Haruhiko Mikimoto, better known as HAL[[note]]HAL also heavily influenced early Sadamoto, who worked with him on ''Macross''[[/note]]. Kawamori then applied all his engineering training to the lovingly detailed and well thought-out series' mechas — and continues to do it ever since in subsequent ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' series, having with time replaced Ishiguro as ''Macross''[='s=] mastermind.
** Their team also included the famous animation director Ichiro Itano, already a living legend for his "''[[MacrossMissileMassacre Itano Circus]]''". Itano, just as HAL, also worked on the first (and many other) ''Gundam'' series, so there's actually a lot of creative cross-pollination between the two franchises, as both were produced (at least partially) by Creator/{{Sunrise}}, and creators often migrate between projects. It is therefore not entirely surprising that both are known for their attention to complex and detailed technology.
* ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato2199'', full stop. The rest of the franchise probably as well, but its visual style is just too Creator/LeijiMatsumoto-specific and his early-Seventies look seems really dated for some, despite being a conscious aesthetic choice. ''2199'', OTOH, updated it with more mainstream stylings.
* ''Anime/{{Steamboy}}''. Pretty much every single device in the film can induce steam-boners in fans of SteamPunk. Even Scarlett's little treadmill for her pet chihuahua is meticulously detailed with gears, levers and ornate designs.
* In the original series, ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato'', one early episode was devoted to giving a tour of the ship. Naturally, it was very heavy on this trope.
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', in its happier moments, lavishes attention on technology and onro the futuristic cityscape of Mitakihara. This eventually serves [[spoiler:to set up MoodDissonance between the outwardly sleek, high-tech world of the series, and the dark and horrible things lurking just beneath the surface]].
* The manga version of ''LightNovel/AllYouNeedIsKill'' is filled with it, with its detailed art-style putting emphasis on the weaponry and parts of the {{MiniMecha}}s.

* ComicBook/IronMan lapses into this from time to time, but Len Kaminski and Kevin Hopgood's run in the early 90s was the best example, with the War Machine, Telepresence 2, Modular and Hulkbuster armors and the "Iron Manual".
* When the original ''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe'' series came out in TheEighties, the last issue was devoted to equipment, complete with cool-looking blueprints for everything from the [[ComicBook/{{Avengers}} Avengers' quinjets]] to [[ComicBook/RomSpaceknight Rom's cyborg armor]] to the [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Green Goblin's bat glider.]]

* Watching [[https://youtu.be/TG4GaPcLgOs Unicron's transformation]] in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' in the theater was a life-defining experience for some tropers. Earlier in the movie the Autobot city shifting into battle mode was rather impressive as well.

* Similarly, from ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', when EVE first arrives on Earth, particularly the intricate routine where she is unloaded from the shuttle and activated.

* In every Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse film with ''ComicBook/IronMan'', when he [[https://youtu.be/HpX1mDEw1gk suits up]].

* From the Films in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' series:
** ''Film/ANewHope'' gives a long, detailed view, in the opening scene, of the the '''massive''' Imperial Star Destroyer flying past the camera in all of its Rebel-crushing glory.
** And ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' topped that by showing the ''Super'' Star Destroyer utterly dwarfing the monster ships from the first movie!

* A frequent feature of Creator/JamesCameron movies. Even in ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' he managed to have the camera linger just as lovingly on the heavy metal of the ship's engines as on Creator/KateWinslet. It's present in ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' when it isn't indulging in SceneryPorn or naked blue {{fanservice}}. The [[https://youtu.be/us3ggae8-Ec "assembly line" teaser trailer]] for ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' is nothing but it.
%% * The puzzle box from ''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'' films.
* A more macabre example: The ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' movies feature scenes showing off the intricacy and complexity of the various deathtraps.

* From ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'', there was CGI showing the inner workings of the cars' engines, notably when enhancements like nitrous were used.
* ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy'' had a bunch of this going on, especially with the closeups showing off the inner workings of the Golden Army robots. Watching Nuada's crown put itself together is like a free stripper-cake!
* ''Film/MinorityReport'' was full of these. Especially the computer and eye scanner scenes.
* ''Film/EnemyOfTheState'' brings this to [[BigBrotherIsWatching paranoia]].
* ''Film/AlienResurrection'', especially the labs. [[AwesomeButImpractical Want some whiskey?]]
* ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' is pretty much a 50/50 mix of this and SceneryPorn.

* The Inventing Room in the 2005 version of ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory''.
* The ejection sequence in ''Film/BehindEnemyLines'' with slow-motion tracking and close-ups of each step of the ejector seat's operation.
* Station's assembly of the Good Robot Usses from ''[[Film/BillAndTed Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey]]'' combines this trope with HomemadeInventions.

* ''Film/BladeRunner'' is ALL OVER this trope with the Voight-Kampff test machine, as well as some action with the photos in the Esper.
* ''Film/{{Brainstorm}}'' is made of this.
* Any scene in a ''Film/JamesBond'' movie in Q's workshop where he demonstrates his latest gadget for Bond to use on his next mission. A great example is in ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' where he shows 007 his new Aston Martin DB5 with all kinds of hidden weapons and features.
* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'', being an AffectionateParody of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and Star Trek fandom, shows one of the fans with a wireframe model of the ''entire'' interior of the NSEA ''Protector''. Later, when Jason and Gwen walk through the room that houses the Omega 13, we're treated to ''genuine'' technology porn, complete with awe-inspiring music.
* The opening sequence of ''Film/ShortCircuit'' shows the construction process of the S.A.I.N.T. robot line.
* ''Film/TheConversation'' has this is spades. Aligning playheads, long distance mikes re-mounted and aimed by snipers, and each multiple audio pass savored for its methodical slowness. In the digital age, it still qualifies as analog porn that would make the typical DieselPunk aficionado blush.
* ''Film/PacificRim'' has scenes in it that seriously threaten to steal the title of "Technology Porn: TheMovie" right out from under ''Film/IronMan1''. The [[AMechByAnyOtherName Jaegers]] are truly beautiful pieces of sci-fi engineering, and any scene involving them is pure, unadulterated technology porn. Inside the cockpits, their assembly and maintenance, the way they fight is a techhead's dream.
* ''Film/{{Oblivion 2013}}'' doesn't waste any opportunity to show off the awesome tech, with particular enthusiasm for the [[AttackDrones drones]] and the protagonist's FutureCopter.
* [[http://vimeo.com/29642342 This]] short film, as well as other works by the director.
* ''Film/TheHungerGames'': The room where the overseers "modify" the game has some incredible animation.
* ''Film/TheStarfighters'' can be described as Technology Porn Without Plot, being fixated so much on the titular fighter planes that the human characters get no real development.

* ''Film/WarGames'', for its depiction of computer technology of the era, including the IMSAI 8080, 8-inch floppy disks and of course the acoustic coupler modem.
* A turn-of-the-20th-century-esque version in ''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang'' with the breakfast machine in this scene: [[https://youtu.be/RBJGpNTP_lY]]
* ''Film/BicentennialMan'': The assembly line in the opening credits, as well as when Andrew and Rupert have designed robotic versions of all the human organs.

* A literary example would be the various ''Franchise/StarTrek'' [[http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Generation-Technical-Unnumbered/dp/0671704273 Technical Manual books]]. Hundreds of pages of diagrams, technical schematics, and plans for vehicles that don't exist. The ''Ships of the Line'' calenders and collections are basically pinup collections for Starship porn.
* ''Literature/StarWarsExpandedUniverse'' has those too. Some for people, places, and creatures, some for tech. [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Incredible_Cross_Sections Incredible Cross Sections]], [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Visual_Dictionary Visual Dictionaries]], [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_New_Essential_Guide_to_Vehicles_and_Vessels New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels]].
* ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'' never goes into high levels of detail about tech, but there's an in-universe example in ''The Nightmare Machine'', when the mechanically inclined Zak finds rare droid parts and everything he wants to see in a workshop, and excitedly chirps about this and that while his sister has the same blank reaction non-tech lovers often have to this kind of thing.

* ''Literature/{{Bolo}}'' covers both Tech Porn AND GunPorn with their AI tanks that ultimately get up to cruiser and battleship sizes, and acquire enough firepower to justify being called Continental or Planetary Siege Engines.

* The UK TV show ''Series/TopGear'' is full of TechnologyPorn, especially with the camera swooping over the glossy curves of expensive cars.

* ''Series/HowItsMade'', on the Discovery Channel, lives on this trope, as do ''Factory Made'' and ''How Do They Do It?''
* ''The Gadget Show'' in the UK is full of this. Given the sheer amount of stuff they give away and the scale of the things they do on the show, companies probably pay more than a pretty penny to have stuff gushed over (not that all stuff is shown to be excellent).
* ''Series/ModernMarvels'' is a technophile's dream come true, going into the history ''and'' the mechanics behind everything from knives and swords to the B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber.
* For ''Series/DoctorWho'', they sell blueprints of Daleks, a diagram which can be seen in one of the episodes.
* Any of Gerry Anderson's series, especially his [[UsefulNotes/{{Supermarionation}} Supermarionation]] ones, are absolutely made of this, setting a standard that influenced countless later science fiction works, especially in Japan. Just check out the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDjmSYDq7es opening credits]] to ''Series/Joe90.''
* While ''Franchise/StarTrek'' has always liked to show off its futuristic tech, ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' takes it to a whole new level when the titular starship is sent into the 32nd century and her crew marvel at technology that's over 900 years more advanced than what they're used to. They then have even more fun when ''Discovery'' gets a MidSeasonUpgrade that practically turns her into a completely different ship.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYjqojwp2hQ Then You Look At Me]]'', by Music/CelineDion, takes place in a lab where they're building NDR114 robots. Dion stays in one spot, [[ThreeMinutesOfWrithing dancing in a skimpy outfit]], while the camera [[MultiTakeCut jumps around the entire room]], sometimes focusing on all the equipment and the engineers working on the construction.

* The ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'' [[https://youtu.be/RHfI46cwBbE trailer]]. Look at the comments in the Film/IronMan example above. One magazine editor commented after seeing it that he finally understood why [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality it took so long to build ''one'' marine]] in the original game.
* Done in ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' before the [[spoiler:nonexistent]] boss fight with Letz Shake and Dr. Shake. The game goes to great lengths to show the Earthquake Generator powering up [[spoiler:before Henry shows up and cuts Letz and his machine in half]].
* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'': Samus' entrance was ''made'' to show off her power suit in glorious 3d. ''Echoes'' and ''Corruption'' both mirrored this scene, with ''Corruption'' also treating us to an extended landing sequence for Sammy's [[CoolShip new gunship]]. The rest of the ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy'' has some intricate high-tech looking mechanisms complete with tron lights in the intro, slowly zooming out. It doesn't reveal it's the inside of Samus's arm cannon until the player starts a game.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', basically every FMV that isn't directly related to the characters is either technology porn or SceneryPorn. Exemplified by [[https://youtu.be/JLyJWr4K5QE&feature=related this FMV]].
* From ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', we have [[https://youtu.be/ZdWifJioVoo Ark]].
* The [[https://youtu.be/fEcqLrvIZko intro sequence]] to ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake'' is a prime example. An entire three minutes is dedicated to highlighting every single little mechanical detail about the titular Metal Gear.

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' has an in-game codex which [[MinovskyPhysics goes to great lengths to explain how technology in the game's universe works]], most of it related to [[{{Unobtainium}} element zero]]. It even goes so far as to describe what FTL travel looks like to an outside observer, and explains how spaceship stealth systems work. It furthermore describes the weaponization of Eezo, its effect on biology, and how the interstellar 'extranet' allocates bandwidth on its priority levels.
* In the ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' series (and in the latest ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' game) during loading screens, there are occasionally long sequences showing the exact design parameters and armaments of whatever vehicle will be involved in the next scene.
* In ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'', Mecha Sonic transforms in a completely [[RuleOfCool awesome]] and [[NightmareFuel freaky]] fashion, extending cables and assembling rubble he made on the ship he's in. [[https://youtu.be/FaCFMFOGR6Y Looks even cooler than it sounds.]]

* The [[https://youtu.be/1NZG8UQcTIA&feature=related opening sequence]] to ''[[VideoGame/{{Wipeout}} Wipeout Pure]]''.
* ''In VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', placing a level 1 Sentry Gun involves it quickly unfolding and setting itself up. [[https://youtu.be/7b_dXfVP9RE It's awesome to watch.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' and ''VideoGame/Portal2'' have numerous intricate scenes of test chambers coming together, as well as [=GLaDOS=]' "resurrection" in ''Portal 2'', or the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A88YiZdXugA co-op trailer]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' just EXTRUDES this in a refined way.
* In ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'', whenever [[PlayerCharacter Isaac]] exchanges his [[PowerArmor RIG]] for another at [[AnEconomyIsYou one of the in-game stores]], it's always accompanied by a short sequence of him flexing his arms, sections of the suit moving, and [[CollapsibleHelmet the helmet closing into place.]]

* The [[https://youtu.be/Hvl1kFOeMvw Autovista]] mode in ''VideoGame/ForzaMotorsport 4'', which lets you explore a select number of cars with absurdly detailed bodywork and interiors. Detailed diagrams appear in the air above the cars like holograms, the narrator describes all the technology in the car, the engine revs, and [[Series/TopGearUK Jeremy Clarkson]] gives his blunt opinion about the cars.
* ''VideoGame/TronEvolution'' and ''VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh'' continue the tech porn from the movies, given they use the same setting.
* ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' is to Technology Porn as your run-of-the-mill HGame is to actual porn -- it takes the scenario and makes the player an active participant rather than a passive viewer. More specifically, the game is a spaceflight simulator that allows the players to assemble relatively true-to-life designs from various bits and bobs and pilot them in a solar-system-scale sandbox under the constraints of real-world physics.
* In the same vein than ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'', Wayward Terran Frontier (a recent independent game), focus 80% of its gameplay over designing the inner working of increasinbly bigger and bigger space Warship. From gigantic power source to every single power-conduit and piece of armor. Then you get to fly and walk around physically in what you've built bolt per bolt.
* ''VideoGame/{{Halo 4}}'' gets one in ''Spartan Ops'', at least [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d66NOXhwfoI in the cutscenes]]. The new [=Spartan-IVs=] get sexy Aerotrim-style suiting rigs reminiscent of the ''Film/IronMan'' rigs. Seems the coolest way to suit up is to step into a rig and have the armor assembled via arms waldos and whatchamahoosits. Unfortunately, Master Chief is bigger than a Spartan-IV, so technicians have to take off his armor by hand using the mechanism arms. It's a bit odd that these mechanisms are compatible with Mark VI MJOLNIR armor, being literally a generation older.

* In ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Bravestarr}} Bravestarr: The Legend]]'' citizens of the New Texas rebuild their town into a weaponized metal fortress which starts its long and stunning TransformationSequence right before the Stampede invasion.

* The alien technology in ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' is so mind-blowingly impressive that it should have its own page.

* Samus' entrance in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' was pretty much ''made'' to show off her power suit in glorious 3d. ''Echoes'' and ''Corruption'' both mirrored this scene, with ''Corruption'' also treating us to an extended landing sequence for Sammy's [[CoolShip new gunship]]. The rest of the ''Metroid Prime'' trilogy has some intricate high-tech looking mechanisms complete with tron lights in the intro, slowly zooming out. It doesn't reveal it's the inside of Samus's arm cannon until the player starts a game.

** The Delorean gets some of this, especially when Doc Brown introduces it in the [[Film/BackToTheFuture first movie]].

* The more serious works by Creator/StanislawLem tend to fall into this at times, especially ''Fiasco''.

* ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' Series Creator Masamune Shirow holds a degree in engineering and the original manga contains countless side notes that explain how many of the machines and mechanisms are supposed to work. Both of the Oshii films contain several scenes which can be considered hardcore technology porn, and have massively influenced the animation style of the company who made the films, Creator/ProductionIG. The two season series does them to a lesser extent.

* Years after Music/JeanMichelJarre quit playing insanely gigantic outdoor concerts, he became a grandmaster of TechnologyPorn. [[http://blog.texfm.ro/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/jmj-pic.jpg Just have a look at this.]] [[CrazyAwesome He even toured with all that stuff.]]

* The PoweredArmor in ''Webcomic/WeAreTheWyrecats'' gets a lot of detailed shots of their inner workings and the author likes to throw in hints at just what those armor suits are capable of at full output.

* ''WebVideo/TIEFighterShortFilm'' really likes its lingering, detailed, shaded shots of ships, engines, weaponry...
* This ''https://youtu.be/Ge97KtCx20w'' is equal parts Technology Porn and ''Main/SovietSuperscience''.

*** His suit assembly rig is a big upright wheel on a walkway that disassembles Tony's Ironman suits as he walks along it without obstructing his movement -- he just lands on the roof of Stark Tower and casually strolls into his penthouse.
