This is a little bit of a random post-I am not going to lie. Whether it is my brain collapsing from the stress of school or I just need to get a life, I have been doing a lot of thinking about the concept of 3D movies. It seems that every year more and more movies are being released in 3D. Will two dimensional movies become obsolete, just like the VCR or Nintendo 64? Personally I hope not. I would hate to put on special glasses every time I want to watch a film. But this isn't want I want to talk about today.
My real question is: how far will this go? I immediately flash back to my good old star trek days [don't laugh], with its holograms and holodecks. For those of you who are not science fiction geeks, a hologram is a three dimensional image of a computerized personality. They can walk, talk, and think like a regular human being, but they are transparent. A holodeck is a room that projects images and makes the user feel like they are in a completely separate world. In the television series, it was used for recreational sports, or even to play the main character in fictitious adventure [Captain Picard was known for playing Holmes in the Sherlock novels].
My point is, if we are able to project images through a screen and make them seem tangible and life-like, how long will it us to create 3D images without the use of crazy coloured glasses? Personally, I kind of hope that someday, in my lfie time, I will be able to go into a room and say: run program Katie Delta Five, and be able to re-enact the classic tales of Lord of the Rings or Diana Gabaldon's time-twisting adventures.
Is it really possible, who knows? Would it be awesome, hell yes!
