You and a holodeck

[Miss Chicken]

Just pretend that holodecks existed and that you are told that one, and only one, program would be created for you, what would you ask to be created?

I might sound boring but I would ask for the Museum of Natural History, London. I would be able to view anything in the museum not just what is on public display and I would be able to ask questions of any expert. With 70 million items I don't think I would ever get to see everything.

Is this an, ahem, interactive holodeck with full sensory fedback?

Damn. Beat me to it.

This is a holodeck that can do anything that the holodecks in Star Trek can do.

The bridge of the refit 1701, my wife is a skippy TOS uniform, and the captain's chair....

 

[Holdfast]

I'm thinking Anne Hathaway or Leighton Meester.

Hang on a minute, it's a holodeck; I don't really need to choose.

 

[Omnius]

I'd create a holodeck in a holodeck.
I would be able to create any program in the holodeck on the holodeck ofc!

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Ancient Roman orgy. I can do that for the rest of my life.

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Don't choose. I'd just tell it to recreate the entire world under my control. That way I could visit the Museum of Natural History if I want, or Anne Hathaway if I want. Or meet Anne Hathaway at the Museum of Natural History.

And tell her to bring Leighton Meester and a couple of school girl outfits.

 

[Holdfast]

I fucking love legal technicalities and loopholes.

This holodeck does not have enough memory to create the whole world. I don't think the Star Trek ones did either.

I'd be hoping it would be possible to create holodeck versions of games like Dead Space, Uncharted, RDR, Call of Duty, Halo..etc, so I could play through them for real.

Yes, thta is possible. However as you are limited to the creation of one program you have to choose only one game.

 

[Jadzia]

I've thought about this for 10 minutes, but I really don't know. I can find pleasure in so many things already, that I'm not sure a holodeck would give me any more happiness than I already have.

That's a tough decision. I'll have to give it some thought.

 

[Jetfire]

Can I create the entire 10 seasons of Smallville or Friends and interact with those characters throughout those many seasons?

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I don't need a holodeck. I have dreams, which are free, come to me at night (thus freeing my daytime to do whatever tasks I wish to do), provide a variety of programs to test my mind and soul, and have their own built-in safety features when things go wrong (I wake up).

Besides, who needs a holodeck when you've got a bed, quilt and several pillows with which one can build a small fort?

 

[Miss Chicken]

Yes, I think that a Star Trek holodeck would be able to do that. The Captain Proton program covered a similar range, I would imagine,

They created an entire universe for Moriarty, albeit not in a proper holodeck, so maybe it is possible.
