Guest rebel_jediknight Posted March 10, 2000 Posted March 10, 2000 For all you sci-fi and ST fans out there (hello, Imladil!) this article appeared in the Wednesday, March 3rd edition of The Province: A real holodeck? The holodeck on Star Trek may not be science fiction for long. The U.S. army is now using what it calls an early version of a holodeck to develop its next generation of weapons systems. The Cave Automatic Virtual Environment is a small room filled with 3-D video equipment, projectors and mirrors that work to create a virtual environment that soldiers percieve by wearing special glasses. A soldier could sit in a virtual environment and he would not only percieve it and his surroundings but also other crew members in the form of computer-generated avatars with whom the soldier can interact. Not bad, huh? P.S. Where is everybody? ------------------ What- You think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? -------------- We're doomed!

Guest Shootist Posted March 10, 2000 Posted March 10, 2000 Speaking of Imladil, has anybody heard from that unit at all lately? I hope it's just computer probs. I hope he didn't get his fingers caught in the food processor and saute himself down to gruel. ------------------ ACK...Phht!! Bill the Cat
Guest Lujayne Posted March 10, 2000 Posted March 10, 2000 Hm, a very strange thought that is, Shootist. --L.
Guest rebel_jediknight Posted March 10, 2000 Posted March 10, 2000 Hey, no problem, Shootist. And no, I haven't heard from Imladil. I wonder where he is? ------------------ What- You think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? -------------- We're doomed!
Guest GUNNER Posted March 11, 2000 Posted March 11, 2000 I haven't seen him in a while either, in fact I haven't seen anyone over here till now.
Guest R.A.V.E.N. Posted March 12, 2000 Posted March 12, 2000 That is strange, there hasnt been a single A-Wing attack here in months........
Guest rebel_jediknight Posted March 12, 2000 Posted March 12, 2000 R.A.V.E.N., about that thread you closed... was that spam? Sorry, I didn't know... ------------------ What- You think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? -------------- We're doomed!
