How Do Holodecks Work In Star Trek?

We delve into how the great Holodecks work at Star Trek.

Star Trek: strange new worlds Use Holodeck for the first time in the third season episode “A Space Adventure Hour”. In this process, the show showed that his book had no idea how Holudic works.

Fortunately, Freakin Giant Robot here for help.

How to work Holodecks at Star Trek

The simplest thing in Holodeck’s Star Trek is how actual stereoscopic images work. Most of the time, these 3D images covering the entire Holodeck room.

Once the stereoscopic images are covered by the bow (entrance in one direction and going out to Holodeck), users inside have a room similar to any environment they want to create, such as the forest that Riker finds the leader’s data that explores the pilot episode “Meet in Farpoint”.

Throughout Star Trek, most of what we see (and crew) within Holodecks is the hollow light (not intended to pun.). However, each Holodeck carries with it a built -in replica that can create a variety of objects that the crew can interact with, and since these things are repeated, they can be removed from the 3D simulation. This is why we saw a snowball flies from the Holudic and to the corridor when Wesley Craghi and his friend were fighting in the snowball in the “Angel One” episode. This is also why La’an is able to drink the cocktail that she holds in “A Defensure Hour”.

Since Holodecks’s Star Trek has similar copies inside, some Starfleet members use them to create versions of their favorite restaurants and bars. For example, Tom Paris reinforced his favorite irrigation hole from the days of the Starfleet Academy, Cheese Sandrin, in the “The Cloud” episode. It has become a favorite drop for crew members who are supposed to have been in the chaos hall with Neelix.

Likewise, during the last season of PicardWe see Jack Crusher simulating the EarthBound site from the Ten Forward tape in Guenan so that he can comment embarrassing with my father in the “Seventeen Seconds” episode.

How to create Holodecks large areas in small spaces

Another big question from the Star Trek fans always has about Holodeck is how the small Holodeck room can reinforce large horizons, including much larger than the ship itself. The answer is that Holodeck has invisible power fields that can be used to create a “walking device” effect, which means that characters can walk physically without really moving, and Holodeck provides simulation of the environment that moves after.

These strengths can also simulate the slopes when the characters climb the stairs or ascend a hill.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about the Holudriers Star Trek is that it is backed by a more advanced artificial intelligence than anything we can imagine. Although it is possible for a person to create an intense simulation (like we see Boimler try to do in The lower floors The “Crisis Point” episode), “Virtual” is to provide a convincing Holodeck from artificial intelligence on the right fly and user’s request.

Perhaps this is the best clear by the MINUET woman who creates Riker in “11001001”. It determines its physical appearance, but the computer provides an enjoyable and enjoyable personality on its own (although it had a large and temporary edge of technological prenars).

In Star Trek, Holodecks is not designed to create anything really real, but this did not prevent him from happening, whether by design or by chance. in Star Trek: Spees the ninth areaBashir is able to create a careful artist, Vigas, whose name is Vic Fontaine in the “Way” episode. This is not normal, and perhaps the genetically enhanced Bashir brain helped him to withdraw it.

in Next generationGeoordi Laforge accidentally created an unintentional professor in “dear primary data” by simply by asking the computer to create a program that can actually challenge Android Mind.

By default, the Holodecks in Star Trek has safety protocols, which means that those who use them cannot kill themselves by chance. Therefore, if a gang shot Captain Picard while Dixon Hill simulating, the bullets usually do not kill him (although a foreign probe extinguished protocols, a visiting historian has already been shot in the “Big Farewell”).

By the way, senior officers and other correct access symbols usually have the ability to turn off these safety protocols, but most of the time, simple technological breakdowns in the trap of the crew inside a potentially fatal three -dimensional simulation.

What Holodecks cannot do

There are limits for what Holodecks can do. Among them is that they cannot change the real people who enter them.

When you go to Holodeck, you are the same as you were before you entered. So if you are playing a character in a story, it is up to you to behave the part. Otherwise, it will not fit with.

Your thoughts cannot also be read. Star Trek: strange new worlds The approach to Holodeck may have confused this point, because Holodeck seemed to create an internal monologue of La’an and make it heard. There is no good explanation for this, unlike that the exhibition book does not know how Holodecks works.
