GNDN projectors.
Will they ever paint the bridge?

OK, a double barreled question.
GNDN????
Where are the "barcode readers"? I work in electronic security and I can't see anything resembling any readers I've ever encountered. Show me, show me.

I thought those "barcode readers" were actually part of the fire suppression system. But that's just supposition on my part.
Republic credits *WILL* do fine.
I think a good turquoise and eggshell would look FABULOUS!
^Great idea!
It is already painted. Fluorescent White!

No need to paint, just mix in some TOS mood lighting.
This. Purple and green are my first two choices.
The only problem I have with the bridge is a nagging question that popped into my head ever since Pike made Kirk his first officer early in the movie.
Where is the first officer's station on this Enterprise's bridge, or on any TOS Enterprise bridge? Really. Seriously. Where's his place? Think about it. In all of TOS and now, Spock has doubled as science officer and first officer, so he occupies the science station. However, what if he was just first officer and not the science officer? Then what? Does he just stand next to the captain's chair? Is that what Kirk would've done with Pike in command?
Thank God they remedied this glaring mistake of a place for the first officer on the TNG Enterprise. At least Riker had a seat.
Ah. They were multitaskers in the TOS era. Good enough explanation for me.
If they don't want to paint (maybe the lease doesn't allow it) there are other ways to add splashes of color to the bridge. Rugs, throw pillows, plants, a few fresh followers, some artwork. The possibilities are endless.
Bright & White I don't mind. What I mind is: A) Glare-bomb lights that shine directly into your eyes no matter where you're standing. No one could effectively do their jobs in that environment. Geez, they even have little task lights at the stations as though there wasn't enough ambient light to begin with. B) The barcode scanners. Scandalously lazy design. C) Those clear glass panels that have some sort of circuitry pattern sand-blasted onto them. I think we're supposed to think they're some sort of see-through touch screens but they're just... designy. I feel like Sigourney Weaver: "It serves no useful purpose...It makes no logical sense!!!"

That reminds me of a scene in the recent "Science of STID" special recently aired, at one point Abrams can be seen holding his hand over the left side of a monitor to block the glare as he watches the scene.

That's it!
I'm sure the good = light and evil = dark symbolism goes way back, long before Star Wars.
That doesn't look to me like he's blocking the glare; if that's the goal, holding your hand flush to the screen won't be much help! It looks to me like he's blocking what's going to be out of the final frame (note how his hand lines up with a rectangle delineated on-screen).At the 4:44 mark: Star Trek: Secrets of the Universe (83 min)That reminds me of a scene in the recent "Science of STID" special recently aired, at one point Abrams can be seen holding his hand over the left side of a monitor to block the glare as he watches the scene.
