When we can create hard light.

Not in any of our lifetimes ;_;7

What is hard light anyway?

Light energy converted into matter.

It's theoretically and practically impossible to control.

>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.

For you

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!"

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.

Plots aren't interesting unless people die.

you're a big guy

It's a big challenge

like han solo

Stargate?

...

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

So hows that work when two people are in there looking at the same thing?

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?

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

photons and force fields

>2016
>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.

moving floor

the only way this would make sense is if the holodeck was some sort of VR device that used your brain rather than holograms

its sci fi, we dont have to explain shit

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

ayy lmao thats how

wouldnt the other way make more sense and be much more easily explained?

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.

>but you don't have to take MY word for it...

So is a greenscreen and we all saw what that did to Lucas.

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.

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.

Here's the (you) you were fishing for.

>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. :)

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

>24th century
>communist utopia
>still have sexual frustration
>not one episode with non-binary gender beings

The whole series makes no sense

Yes there was...

>Commander, tell me about your sexual organs.

Computer, end program.

My light is hard.

fuck off, dumb tripfag

the images in the hole deck could have mass, and for example, fight you

Tripfag, end life.
