Video: Sony/ PlayStation 3

By  Jesse Emspak

The Holodeck on Star Trek produces a completely immersive environment, complete with solid objects and changing landscapes. We’re not there yet, but a couple of companies in Britain have made a stab at building something like it using a bunch of relatively simple projectors, Sony Move controllers, and some creative visual tricks. The video shorts (below) were created to show off the immersive qualities of movies rented from Sony’s PlayStation Store. They were designed by Studio Output and Marshmallow Laser Feast (the latter created a giant virtual mountain on stage at a Lenny Kravitz concert). You won’t be able to duplicate what you see here, as one of the tricks used is a couple of guys in reflective Lycra suits. But what makes it interesting is that the videos were shot in one take, with no post-production tricks. A movie such as Avatar involves actors in suits against a blue screen and adding the details in post-production. (If you were actually on the set, you would see actors in the suits in a blank room).....
