The series Futurama was named for such displays at the world fairs. The name Futurama comes from a pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Designed by Norman Bel Geddes, the Futurama pavilion depicted how he imagined the world would look in 1959. I presume the New York World's Fair of 1964 had a display with a similar name which is what he is talking about.
