View Full Version : You can keep your SHIII, SHIV a.s.o
Beside my computer I have something much better
Something that beats all type of games in the world
I have a real Holodeck. I have played lots of Real life uboat games, since I got hand on this technology.
Back to real
Do you think it would be possible, in the future to make something like that?
Or will it only be a part of our imagination?

In the early 1800s, when it was announced that railroad trains might go as fast as 30 miles per hour, some expert announced that the air pressure at such a speed would crush a man's lungs.
As recently as the 1970s it was believed that personal home computers were just a dream.
Before he died in 1948, Orville Wright was photographed sitting in the cockpit of a Lockeed 749 Constellation airliner.
Aircraft? 106 years old. Jet Aircraft? 70 years old. Actual jet fighters? 66 years old. Jet airliners? 58 years old. Manned space flight? 48 years old.
Who knows what the next 50 years will bring? Technology development accelerates at a compound rate, and things are being created now that my dad never dreamed of. Things that I never dreamed of.

Considering how addictive some of these online gaming communities are you do wonder how many people will eventually abandon their mundane and boring real lives to remain jacked into a holodeck 24/7. Oops! The dog starved to death and the car was repossessed? Sorry I was busy fighting off a horde of Gemgoblins on Minas IV.

Yeah, that's really an intriguing idea. I think that holographic images which look true to life aren't that far away. But watching Star Trek, I was wondering all along how they managed it to holographically produce real objects :hmmm:

Mookie, thanks for turning up that picture.

Science fiction writer Larry Niven wrote several short stories centered around users of what he called the 'Droud'. The thing plugged into the wall, went through a small voltage converter and then jacked directly into the pleasure center of the brain. Extreme addicts just plugged in and then starved to death, and never even knew it was happening.

In 1945 some nut case named Arthur Charles Clarke wrote some drivel about putting a relay "satellite" in "geosynchronous" "orbit" that will help long distance communications.

So you never can tell about those wacky dreams.....
Too much energy to create mass, even temporarily.
I'm thinking it'll be an implant or something that produces controllable hallucinations.

I agree. Why try to create matter when you can create the perception of matter

A lot easier on the body that interacts with this alternative reality as well.
These things could bring a whole new quality of life to the aged and infirm.
