In Star Trek, if the bridge also was a holodeck, it probably would have been amazing. I’m not speaking about the Picard holograms in the new show, but the old mater-like from TNG (or maybe like the programmable mater from Discovery).

I believe Discovery in its later season uses more err, dynamic material based interfaces (and ships), like nanomachines.

Imagine this: Picard goes to the holobridge. Computer, give me flight controls in the style of the enterprise-D Computer … … … Picard: Ah, right at home!

  Reminds me of Lt. Barclay, when he was "infected" by the alien probe. He found the existing computer interfaces inefficient so he went to the holodeck to create more efficient ones. "Tie both consoles into the Enterprise main computer core utilizing neural-scan interface." "There is no such device on file. " "No problem, here's how you build it. "

    It is well known that all glass surfaces inside the Enterprise are made out of transparent aluminium.

The VR game Star Trek: Bridge Crew played with this idea briefly in the tutorial levels. In hindsight, it seems so obvious. Why not have a bridge suited to exactly what you need, including the ability to change without having to physically move to the rarely used Battle Bridge. If nothing else, everyone having their own ergo setup seems really nice.

  Given the frequency with which holograms ran amuck, seems prudent to have as much separation as possible between critical functions and the holodeck. From a military-readyiness perspective, that jlso seems like that would put you at an enormous disadvantage if all of your controls were dependent upon the (presumably) high power draw of the holodeck. Physical controls that do not disappear in the midst of an already bad situation seems best.
