Holodek is one of the more fantastic pieces of Star Trek technology. Holodek, for Neophytes, is a specialized room of the USS Enterprise that uses holographic cameras to simulate an artificial, completely submerged environment. Force Field technology allows simulations to take on tactile properties, and the special field of "treadmill" allows users to go for long walks while staying in place. There is also a replicator for work, working in Holodek, so people can eat real Holodek food and even replicate souvenirs to get home.

If such technology existed in real life, of course, everyone would own, and no one would have left. All free surroundings with food and fantasy, my twisted imagination can turn? Yes, I'll be in Holodek if you need me.

Holodek -like technology first appeared on Trek in the "Star Trek episode: the animated series" "Practical Joker" (September 21, 1974). In that episode, she was just called a recreation room, but created holographic surroundings. The word "Holodek" would not be used until "Star Trek: Next Generation" in 1987.

As is the case, Holodek was inspired by some very real technology. As early as 1964, before "Star Trek" even to be broadcast, a man named Ein Longer, Optics Expert, Holography and 3-D Technology, was a pioneering projection and new painting machines. In 1973 One of the attendees was a woman named Melanie Toyofuku, who, as it happens, was a friend of the creator of Star Trek Genin Birbors. Toyofuku organized a meeting of the genes, and long had a chance to share his holographic ideas with Born Boyer. Long -stands at his meeting in Interview for 2014 with Startrek.com. He also recalled the rule of bornboys to include the aforementioned technology in the appropriate "Star Trek".

Long said he took Toyofuku to meet Ein Borno -Bojeri and his wife Mayel Barrett at a hotel in Yorkyork. There. A long -running demonstration for born Births, using holographic prints and some lasers, hoped to show birthboys around. It was long -backed and wanted the idea of ​​introducing a rudimentary (but advanced) real -life technology in the fictional world of Star Trek. He wanted to see what optical technology would look like in a few hundred years. Long -term essentially set the whole idea for Holodek on that day, saying:

"(I) n the future, but you could make a holographic environment in which people could communicate with objects and scenes and everything, and create a recreation room, a training room, an area that can be for fun. We are agreed to the name "Holodek".

And it seems that the idea seemed to have liked the idea. Indeed, the mental wheels of Born Berie were turning throughout the demonstration. However, there was concern. Born Boyer thought the fantastic element of Holodek could make it too silly. With a long memory:

"(Born Berie) was totally in that. He said," This is within what I was trying to think about. I just had no idea how this could be ... Or could this be? "He said," I didn't want to be so funny that it was wrong and there would be no such thing at all. "I said, 'No, you are entirely on the right track.

After explaining the technology, Born Berie suddenly felt that Holodek was less silly. After all, this was 1973, and they were already on the verge of real 3D pictures. Just throw away the fantastic fields and Holodek is born. Not so far away.

Born Borni, as mentioned above, began using the word "Holodek" in the mid-1980s, and Holodex became a major part of the Star Trek franchise. They allowed Trek writers to add a little visual variety to the SCI-Fi series, sometimes providing stories of detectives of the 1930s or pastoral medieval scenes. Sex -based holosui were much of the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", and one of the main characters of Star Trek: Voyager was an intelligent hologram. None of these things would happen without the ideas of long.

Unfortunately, with the moment when the "next generation" began to broadcast, born Born and Long Lost had lost contact. Longer has never been consulted for nothing after 1973. In the second part of Startrek.com's interviewHe revealed that he had never been credited or compensated for the introduction of Rodenbury in Holodex. Longer was not angry enough to take any legal action, but he was expelled that he was not mentioned his name in the script. He said:

"That's how it takes place often; you come across something and then you don't get any recognition for it. I saw everything. I never missed an episode of any of the '' 'Starwalks 'paths' franchises. I loved all things with Holodek. I thought it was really great and I really enjoyed it. I just wish I had more interaction (with the franchise). I always wished I would be like the guy they said, I invented a "top drive".

That last comment is just a plea for the writer "Star Trek" to mention as Holodek's inventor. He didn't need a guest spot. Of course, There are new shows "Star Trek" in productionThus, there is still a chance to mention, say, long -term emitter, or the long holography center as a supplement to Starflit. That would only be fair. Long -day works in Holobeam Technologies.
