Holodeck when?
When we can create hard light.
Not in any of our lifetimes ;_;7
>>55274457
What is hard light anyway?
>>55274957
Light energy converted into matter.
It's theoretically and practically impossible to control.
>>55275001
>It's theoretically and practically impossible to control.
For us.

>"We're too lazy to write a plot for our universe, so we'll use some magic thingy to put the characters in a totally different setting!"
the holodeck was one of the stupidest ideas to ever happen to the Star Trek franchise. And that's after they'd already built a proud history of stupid plot devices.
>>55275025
For you
>>55275069
I'll still take it over "... and THIS is the planet where Ancient Rome really took off! And over here is the planet where everyone read a crime novel and LARPed it until it became real!"
>>55275069
I didn't mind the holodeck as a plot device. The only stupid thing about it was that it was a complete death trap. Every other episode involving the holodeck the computer safeties somehow turn off and someone dies or almost dies.
>>55275639
Plots aren't interesting unless people die.
>>55275586
you're a big guy
>>55275586
It's a big challenge
>>55275669

It's not hard light, it's force fields, dumbass.
~*totally*~ different
It's not hard light, the Holodeck projects an image on the wall that appears to be varying distances from you as you move. And the Holodeck fools you in other ways...but you don't have to take MY word for it...

/thread unfortunately

Not any time soon.
Microshaft was working on 3d holograms earlier this year for their VR equipement but thats pretty much it.

TOS
>>55278713
So hows that work when two people are in there looking at the same thing?
>>55274391
They don't even make sense in the Star Trek universe.
How can two crew members be further away than the total length of the holodeck?
>>55279555
it's science, they don't gotta explain shit
the holodeck was literally just a plot device created so the writers would not be overly limited creatively
>>55279555
photons and force fields

>still being See Eye Ayy
What are you, a fag or something? I've been having a hardon on me lights for a few years now.
>>55279555
moving floor
>>55279842
the only way this would make sense is if the holodeck was some sort of VR device that used your brain rather than holograms
>>55279881
its sci fi, we dont have to explain shit
>>55279881
once people are far enough apart it could divide the deck into independent "holo-rooms"
obviously there's a limit since ships have multiple holodecks
>>55279555
>>55279555
ayy lmao thats how
>>55279929
wouldnt the other way make more sense and be much more easily explained?
>>55279555
If you create two "bubbles" of surroundings and calculate what each one would see, you basically can split the holodeck in 2.
I think that's what would happen if it were real. Unless you're actually meeting, everyone in a complex surrounding lives in his 2x2m bubble and the room is just that big to fit a lot of people in.
>>55278713
>but you don't have to take MY word for it...
>>55279811
So is a greenscreen and we all saw what that did to Lucas.
>>55275621
That's basically why I can't watch TOS.
Holodecks were awesome, you didn't have to deal with really stupid things anymore and it reduced itself to slightly stupid ideas. Also they were an exaggeration of the fact that VR somehow made it into the real world.
>>55280030
Holodecks also have some pretty novel uses. I was pleasantly surprised how creative they got with it in the latter half of TNG.
the vive is the closest we are gonna get for the next 100 years. so now lets see if we can get robo butlers off the ground.
George Lucas didn't explain holodecks, because he didn't expect such autists to be watching Startgate.
>>55281900
Here's the (you) you were fishing for.
>>55280572
>the vive is the closest we are gonna get for the next 100 years
That'd be shitty 100 years ahead.
The creation of Matrix tech made the holodeck obsolete. No more giant space taken up, better safety protocols, and is mmo. :)
>>55280177
i think we all know 99% of holodeck use was just people taking care of their sexual frustration.
I like how they started using holographic workers in mines and other nasty places. Imagine, a whole race of disposable people
Thanks voyager for making the federation slavers
>>55283682
>24th century
>communist utopia
>still have sexual frustration
>not one episode with non-binary gender beings
The whole series makes no sense
>>55283819
Yes there was...
>Commander, tell me about your sexual organs.
Computer, end program.
>>55274457
My light is hard.
>>55284952
fuck off, dumb tripfag
>>55278713
the images in the hole deck could have mass, and for example, fight you
>>55284952
Tripfag, end life.
