Spoilers The Roddenberry Archive brings every iteration of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise bridge to life

If they want to monetize, it will probably get killed.

Best bet is distributed / blockchained if not anonymous on any established IP or it will face the Stage 9 treatment.
 
Oops I should have quoted the previous post in regard to the Voyager fan thing not the Roddenberry Archive, which is official and good stuff!
 
New series exploring the Roddenberry archive dropped its first two episodes on YouTube today.

Nice to see we're getting a companion piece to Larry Nemecek's The Trek Files. There's a lot of good stuff in the Archive, so it's about time more folks get to experience it.

Now, if only they could make the archive easily accessible to researchers, that would be the dream of several of us on TBBS...
 
I could never get any of the full 3D walkthroughs to work. There's the QuickTime VR/Google Street View-like things where I was able to jump from spot to spot, standing in place and rotate around (I think - it's been a while since I visited the site) but I kept hearing about these fully-immersive-every-room-and-hallway interactive walkthrough's and I've never seen any of them. :confused:

You need Oculus or something for that, right? I’ve only accessed it on a phone, and never seen anything like that.

I’m able to get on my PC and explore the various bridges without the VR gear.

It can be pretty janky to use. It works by remote control, the "game" is running on their servers, and they're projecting the video back to you over the internet like it's a thousand-mile-long monitor cable. Depending on your OS, browser, or internet speed, not to mention their server load or other web traffic, there are a lot of ways for it to not work perfectly, or at all.

It doesn't work on phones, you need a decent laptop or PC. Mine from 2020 does it fine, it loads up same as the phone version but a button appears saying "Explore in 3D" or something like that. Takes a minute or three to load and you're wandering around the sets in first-person.

Here's someone wandering around the Voyager bridge:
