Abstract
This science fiction prototype titled “The Holodeck is My Oyster” glimpses into a future where having a Holodeck in every home is the newly established norm. The prototype takes a closer look at three different inhabitants of the same, newly constructed apartment building located at the suburbs of a medium-sized city. Each inhabitant uses their Holodeck for similar, yet individual, purposes, which essentially is about to learn new things. In the prototype, the learning aspects and possibilities of a Holodeck as part of everyday life and their potential effects on working and school environments are discussed.
