When virtual reality (VR) fans talk about the history of the technology, the holodeck from science fiction series Star Trek: The Next Generation is usually referenced. Appearing in the pilot episode of the series in 1987, it provided a visualisation of what we might one day expect from a full VR experience. Now an indie developer has paid tribute to the concept, with its own videogame that supports of the Oculus Rift VR headset.
Did that kid who won his science fair have anything to do with this?

Very nice. It is great to see people using and do all kind of development with Oculus Rift. DK2 should arrive soon - to me it means SteamOS + Oculus Rift.
Im sold...where do I but this?
I really want a new Star Trek show. With all the scientific discoveries lately, the shows that could be penned would be amazing. Go many years into the future and anything is possible. It would be amazing and a great project for a company like Netflix or Hulu. To be honest...imagine if Sony or MS invested in it. It would be huge.
