The idea of exoskeleton its self is to help human doing repeated and regular movement, and at the same time increasing the amount of weight that can be handled. Add some laser beam, fighting jet HUD system, jet booster, some missiles (and armor than can withstand missiles impact), and you will have the exoskeleton similar to the Iron Man suit.

Maybe only few people know that the current version of this very awesome device already exists. Made by the giant computer manufacturer, Microsoft, this current device called Microsoft Surface. While the current version of the device is still lack of smooth handling and transition, unlike its sci-fi version, Microsoft Surface is already heading to the dreamt technology we saw on the movie (you might not so impressed when you see those same gadgets you see in the movie without its visual effects).
