People that can fly and sing opera and are not, affected by Kryptonite.
This might be bad. Where's Dr. Venkman when you need him???

2012??? Can we wait that long?

I will be in, my Veldt.

Here is your desk, around you is Newton's study, and if you move your
hands in mid air (near the theremin to use it as an interface) and you
don't wave them like a crazy person, your Merlin the magician hat will
not fall off.

Now you have the powers of Gandalf the Grey. Worse, you have a web cam.
A squillion channels. The squillion channel universe each with their own
Hollywood studio.

So how we program a cubic matrix which is the size of our room?

Well that's a lot of data. But when we didn't have enough power or ram
we cheated in numerous ways to make up for it.
We had progressive display jpg images which first you saw every other
line, then later you saw the ones in between fill in but if we just have
a analog room, like film, or even digital film but that fills the room,
and the moving parts that you want to manipulate you can make with less
memory and just project them in places, so that the ram hungry bits are
kept small but the area is still usable, and it still looks like a
Hollywood studio for your benefit or the people you will show with your
web cam.

To program a normal sized screen you iterate through the 3D matrix like
so...

For x is assigned 1 to 720 do
For y is assigned 1 to 720 do
For z is assigned 1 to 720 do

And you have an array of virtual programmable atoms, in a row we will
call x, and y and z are nested in this little procedure above.

It doesn't do the first line then when that's done now do the second
line, what it is in fact saying in the first line is do the second line
720 times, and each time it does it once, it does the third line 720
times. And in that way it iterates through every dot in that 3D matrix.

You can add innumerable things between those lines or between each one
in z since z is going to cover every single xyz particle, you put your
if statements here. If that point is this, then set some aspect of it as
that.

All the while you are not really thinking in terms of just each dot, so
you would have more conditions, more if statements depending on what you
want your virtual programmable matter to do.

I don't want to get overly technical since it is not really necessary
since there are millions of programmers in the world thanks to the net
and file sharing. And they deal with cubes in computer games and simulators.

So don't forget that you can have virtual clouds in your Veldt. The
ceiling and walls you might need to actually make out of monitors.
Or, some other type of material if you want to give the impression of
being out doors.

Here is an accompaniment that people have provided already in
anticipation of this perhaps.

I think it all sounds expensive today, but maybe you can just get
desktop models, desktop holographic stages, and start small and as the
technology gets cheaper, then development will expand into all sorts of
areas. It might even replace a few jobs but it will create more than it
replaces.

Well according to my analysis we have everything needed so we just need
some inexpensive holographic desktop models to program.

Well I haven't found evidence that I have my own Veldt in my apartment
yet so I am not going to collapse the wave function but I did find this...

So it needs to be modified so it is more challenging, then they will
respect us when we use it to play DDR (dance dance revolution).

Oh its all there, including mini theremin devices.
Scotty how you comin with those warp drives?
I don't want to have to use 2D architecture to program true 3D spaces we
are always making do like that. We need a lot if we want to really make
a virtual holographic desktop with interactive characters and
assistants. Lets not forget that to actually program in 3D we really do
need yes no and maybe and the quantum principles of quantum mechanics
otherwise it will be a movie projector. If we can't get it into the box
and program it.

Now you would think that Nintendo was on that. Maybe they are.

Yes at the back, you have a question?

No I am not actually going to Spain Bruce, that was just an example. Hey
BTW, way to save the world from themselves man.
That was awesome and do you have your AI partner from that movie's phone
number? She reminds me of someone I know.

I saw you have a band now, that's pretty cool. If you need a theremin
player give me a shout.

Die Hard again, right on, those are good movies.
What else have you been up to?
You have like 11 movies on the go and a band. Busy busy.
Say hi to the wifey for me buddy.
