Holographic world!

[tecnowraith]

Hi all, I need help!
I am looking for any novels, comics or other media that has the internet/matrix/cyberspace done in a holographic format. What I mean by this is the anyone can interact with cyberspace without using a computer terminal. The only refence I can think similar to this is the scene in Matrix Reloaded at Zion where we 3-4 people working a holograhic terminal or where you can interact with cyberspace without the use of a computer keyboard or VR goggle and gloves. Does anyone know if there anything this in any media form?

Don't know if it's holographic, but the Ray Bradbury story "The Veldt" (it's in "The Illustrated Man") has a play room where you can be anywhere. Shades of the holodeck--decades before ST:TNG! I don't know if it's a shared space like cyberspace where you connect with other users (I think not), but there are things in the Veldt that, uh, interact with people using the play room.

My memories of this come from a one-act stage adaptation of the story, which I saw in 1978. Very well done, with just lights and a bare stage (except for the door between the play room and the rest of the house).

And here I thought you were referring to a magazine article I saw about the universe just being a big hologram.

Of course I didn't read it at the time, didn't write the name of the magazine or article down and now I can't find.

I feel stupid.

Umm, I'm pretty sure the "traffic controllers" in Matrix Reloaded WERE plugged in. I might be wrong, but I don't feel like turning it on right now.

Yep, the traffic controllers were plugged it. It was a cinematic moment I remember. "Let's show 3-4 beautiful people in a sterile, clean environ". Then they actually land in zion, and the audiance is subject to viewing the 3-4 people reclined in their matrix-chair, with their brain cord sticking out in a dark and dingy room.

As for the article on Holograms, it was complex. It had to to with the "infinite universe theory" and the ability to keep exanding while being under the same mass constraints - something which light can theoretically do. I'm not a physics major - so for the most part is was the kind of article that had me drooling on the pages and my mind drawing a complete blank.

Then again, anything that goes into special relativity can do that to me

Ok I was not sure on the "traffic contollers", it was fast when I watched it.

I am just trying to remember where I read where cyberspace was holographic world where the user just had to hit the holographic icon to get the the information or control the files. The other refence I can think of is the Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie that had holographic computers.
Doh! now I remember, Minorty Report did this also.

This might be pushing it, but, the X-Men's Danger Room. Different environments & situations are created via a combination of mechanical and force-created devices cloaked with holographic overlays.

Most of these stories are in one small to medium size room. I am talking this holographic cyberspace being spread over the city or planet.

Didn't Michael Douglas do some VR information browsing in Disclosure?

-Hyp.

Yeah, but using vr gogles and gloves. I am looking for where you do not need these tools to interact with cyberspace.
