Because I am a retro display enthusiast, I designed several electronic devices under the concept of retro futurism. They use display tubes such as Nixie and VFD, and indicate the future world where tubes are the mainstream. The first one is a kind of portable electronic counter which uses a CD81 Nixie tube. The second one is a clock with multiple-digits VFD. The third one is a keyboard of VFD keycaps.
