This is really neat.
Although in Star Trek, holodecks never had such a feature. Instead the simulation would use trickery to make sure you're never lead into the wall. E.g it would use illusions to trick you into thinking you're walking straight, but you're actually walking in a circle.
- vlovich123 3y agoIn Star Trek holo decks used whatever convenient plot device that was necessary for the story.
- Auracle 3y agoThat explanation totally falls apart when you have a bunch of people in the holodeck at once, unless each person was being shown something different.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoTrue, but I also don't get why you'd want multiple people in the same holotiled room if they're just wearing headsets and staying in the same spot(due to the holotiles) anyway.
- tempestn 3y agoSomething like this could be considered such an illusion, explained in layman's terms.
- easton 3y agoDepends on the implementation. I remember the TNG tech manual having a description of treadmills on the floor of the holodeck being used for exactly this.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoHuh, I did not know that. Never read the tech manual, but I can't remember that being mentioned in show though. There's a lot of neat ideas in the manual that I read about on memory alpha, that I wish they explored more in the show. Like the fact that they have dolphin crewmembers. They're only mentioned off hand in one episode, never shown, and never involved in the plot.
