Imagine walking up to a door like they did in Star Trek and it just opens. No locks, no keys, no doorknobs, it just recognizes you and opens. Now take that a step further and imagine that it’s not even a traditional door but something that you can literally walk right through as it molds around your body shape.

Thanks to Popgadget who reports that this futuristic door is currently a prototype:

Its motion-detecting portal saves energy by keeping a door from having to open and close all the way, which helps to maintain a stable temperature in a room, and can prevent dirt or other materials from entering.

That is the concept of the product displayed on this Japanese website (pictured above). This sort of reminds me a bit of Terminator 2 where the Terminator just walked through the jail cell — but his gun wouldn’t. Ok, if/when they ever get something like this working and it’s not astronomically expensive, I want one.
