Automan had a sidekick named Cursor, a free-floating, glowing, shifting polyhedron-shaped, mote of energy which could three-dimensionally "draw" and generate physical objects as they are needed, generaly becoming the object in the process.

    Many of the groundbreaking computer generated special effects employed in the movie "Tron" were later used in this TV show. Compared to today's technology of course, it all looks very primitive, but back in 1982, this was state of the art!
