The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Roddenberry Archive is a collaboration between the estate of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and computer graphics company OTOY to digitally preserve assets related to the Star Trek franchise. It was announced in August 2021 by Gene's son Rod Roddenberry and OTOY founder and CEO Jules Urbach. The archive is curated by longtime Star Trek production artists Mike and Denise Okuda, Doug Drexler, and Daren Dochterman. It was made available in 2024 through The Archive, a mixed reality app for the Apple Vision Pro. In addition to preserving documents, images, blueprints, and models from Gene's career, the archive team began digitally recreating the starship USS Enterprise and other aspects of Star Trek stories. The archive also has featurettes and documentaries made from interviews with people connected to the Star Trek franchise, and several virtual tour videos based on the digital recreations. Archive expansions have been tied to the release of new Star Trek media, with specific projects focusing on "The Cage" (1964), the first pilot episode for Star Trek: The Original Series (1966–1969); and the film Star Trek Generations (1994). The archive team began creating a series of short concept videos in 2022, using new technology to visualize past actors and previously unfilmed imagery from the franchise. "765874 – Unification", a short released in 2024, received positive reactions from fans and commentators. The use of digital technology to recreate the likeness of dead actors received mixed reactions and led to further discussion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
