Holodeck

Book Overview

This book is about a requirements specification for a Holodeck at a proof of concept level.

Optical Functions and Processor Mapping

In it I introduce optical functions for an optical processor and describe how they map to a subset of the Risc-V open instruction set.

Parallelism and Architecture

I describe how parallelism could be achieved. I then describe a possible layered approach to an optical processor motherboard for the datacenter and for a personal Holodeck.

Volumetrics and Future Technologies

I describe Volumetrics in brief and show how its evolution to Holodeck volumetrics could be done with bend light technology and the possibility of solidness to touch.

Holodeck Architectures

I describe in detail the architecture of a Holodeck covering several approaches from static scene to scrolling scene to multi-user same complex to networked multi-user Holodecks.
