Actually, fabricators are realistic in that we have 3D printers irl. Its not that much of a strech to say that in the future we will have a machine that can disassemble a shattered computer chip into its base materials and then reassemble it in a matter of minutes. This would require likely some very small robots (nanobots) for things made of more than substance, which is why current gen 3D printer use plastic or somthing similar. The fabricator isn't science fantasy, its science fiction, and its sped up to prevent it from being aggrevatingly slow.

Swimming gloves that are somewhat similar in design to the swim fins and gliding suits irl would be viable, but could hinder the ability to grap things. That said if they were to be implemented in game I doubt we'd have to take them off before we could use or pick up something or it'd be a huge hassle and annoyance.
