How Will The Show Represent The Next Step in Holographics?

[Mudd]

Fuck the holodeck.

 

[BillJ]

Fuck the holodeck.

And holographic rights. That was some really dumb stuff.

 

[SPCTRE]

It will be just like in TNG, only this time the actors will constantly go on and on about the smell.

 

[hux]

Fuck the holodeck.

Isn't that its primary function?

Pitty the poor fool who has to mop up after Riker.

 

[STEPhon IT]

Will they even bother? Will they want to move away from that stuff?

I guess it depends on when it's set but if it's post TNG (in either timeline) then holographic technology (and even characters) will presumably have a role to play in the new show.

I think the logical next step is for the entire ship, including crew quarters to have holo emitters in them. Hell, you could theoretically have the entire ship be an empty husk simply filled with holo emitters (save for the engines and weapons etc). A big empty monster where all the rooms are projected.

And if holographic rights have continued then chances are, we'll see a number of holographic crew members.

Or would you like to see holographic technology die? (cos you just know they'll throw some holodeck filler episodes at us).

I'm not sure if it's relevant besides the fantasy aspect of the gimmick. It was easier to swallow for a period story on a holo-thing-ama-jig than an alien planet embracing it. Why would the ship's computer authorize a hologram when it could do the function itself; emergency medical or engineering or otherwise? The hologram was a staple point for Voyager and they went as far as the concept could go in my opinion.
If the new CBS team does approach it, I hope it has it's own definition to the technologies and not monkey off of the lingo (Emitters etc.) from TNG universe. The series should be it's own animal and creating it's own technical language, like JJTrek.
If the series is set after TNG, I would hope the team of writers have enough imagination to actually move on from that; imagine something none of us had thought of, and the holo-anything would be look at a thing from the past. Like crappy NTSC broadcasting.

Fuck the holodeck.

No thanks. That sounds painful

Holodeck is connected to the galaxy net. So you can play with other people from other planet in another holodeck. Just imagine you can play a pay to win MMORPG in the holodeck, and you always lose against a Ferengi Player, simply because you don't have money to increase your odd to win.

Or with the connected to galaxy-net, the characters and meet their family everyday. They simply come to the holodeck, and his / her family from Earth come to a holodeck. Then his image send to Earth, and the family image sent to the Ship Holodeck. So they can meet each other everyday, even the character is far-far away from home. But be expect of Lag and rubber banding.

The new series should abandon the idea of a holodeck and holographic technology, it looked futuristic in the 80s but by now it seems like personal VR systems make more sense than a giant room you can walk into.

I kinda liked that one DS9 episode with the holo-emitter viewscreen, being able to hold a conversation between two captains as if they were standing on the same bridge. Too bad the technology of the time wasn't mature enough for the show to do it more than once.

It was not about the technology or expense. They thought it was confusing to the audience.

That would be an obvious next step. You're in a holodeck on Earth, your friend is on a holodeck on Vulcan but you both see the same things and experience everything from your individual perspectives.

personal virtual reality VR systems (headsets) will seem like old technology by 2030.
"The Doctor" USS Voyager's Emergency Medical Holographic program (or "EMH") used a holo-imager to record his experiences on VOY.

A holographic imager (holo-imager for short) or holo-camera was a device that recorded the form and appearance of a subject in three dimensions, so that it could be reproduced in holographic form. It required that the subject be captured from multiple angles.

This device sounds very similar to room scanning and spatial mapping tech like Lidar.
according to wikipedia:

Lidar (also written LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR) is a surveying technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser light. Lidar exists as an acronym of Light Detection And Ranging,[1] and was originally created as a portmanteau of "light" and "radar".[2][3] Lidar is popularly used as a technology to make high-resolution maps, with applications in geodesy, geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, atmospheric physics,[4] airborne laser swath mapping (ALSM) and laser altimetry. What is known as Lidar is sometimes simply referred to as laser scanning or 3D scanning, with terrestrial, airborne and mobile applications.
