OTOY, Roddenberry Estate Unveil First Immersive Roddenberry Archive Experiences, Multi-Year Roadmap to Preserve the History of Roddenberry’s Star Trek Work

After announcing the Roddenberry Archive during Gene Roddenberry’s centennial in August 2021, and, in May, sharing a preview of the nearly completed work archiving the Gene Roddenberry’s 1964 Star Trek pilot “The Cage”, OTOY Inc. and the Roddenberry Estate made good today on a promise to let Star Trek fans start to explore the archive’s ever growing massive 3D datasets during its first year of production – bringing the archive’s life-size digital recreation of the original Starship Enterprise for fans to experience at Creation: Las Vegas 2022.

The 1:1 scale assets in the archive include both a production version (for physical assets filmed in the real world for TV or film) and a second “in-universe” version that works just as the item or ship might inside its narrative universe.
