Thoughts on the Sequels

[Tsatu]

What do you expect to come in the next three installments?

[Xacoon]

This -->

[flighter]

Second and third are probably going to be cinema stuff (IMAX, hell yeah!) and by the time 4th is out, someone will invent the technology which will enable us to get wired directly to the media player

[Kiyevanie]

Eh... the real thing would be link pods for everyone... drive your own avatar

[Xacoon]

Well, one thing that is very possible is a HD hologram!

When my brother studied at the university to become a doctor, they had a few lessons in a big, dark room with a lot of projectors that showed a 3D object of any kind in the middle of the room.

And a few years after that, we'll have holodecks!

Erm... Just transport me to underground safes of Central bank of UAE, give me 15 minutes, then transpor tme back and I will finance it all

Oh that would be awesome Elyris. A Star Trek type of interactive holodeck with Pandora to roam through. I could definitely live in that! Safety measures engaged, of course.

[Kiyevanie]

I wonder if it'd offer ikran rides?

[flighter]

Well, in theory, our mind is just electrons roaming around the brain... In theory too, it could be copied to an entirely electronic system...

In theory, having all that in mind, it wouldn't be entirely impossible to tweak the system, and make such entirely electronic souls believe they are on Pandora, render the Pandora's environment etc.

Well, that is the theory. But you can only imagine how much processing power would that all require, maintenance etc... and to that extent would it all heavily depend on outside factors (energy supply and maintenance).

[Xacoon]

Well, you're not wrong, flighter! It is impossible to make something like that and make it work....
But you're forgetting something, something very important. Today is not a few years from now!

[Lrrtoktu]

Ahhhh yes. Today's science fiction is tomorrow's cool stuff!! Imagination is the beginning of reality.
