360º Panaorama of the Star Trek Enterprise Bridge

startrekmovie.com — In order to achieve this free form movement of data that both Scott and JJ envisioned, we had to design an architecture that utilized many computers, dynamic content rendering and broadcasted meta data to create what appears to be a contiguous world into which all of the screens act as windows.

  • nailPuppy, on 05/19/2009, -2/+179Not enough lens flare.
  • Gnarstache, on 05/20/2009, -6/+43INVERT MOUSE PLZ
  • Norris667, on 05/20/2009, -0/+31Now give me a version just after hull breach with sparks flying everywhere.
  • inactive, on 05/20/2009, -0/+30Out of the chair!
  • spriggig, on 05/20/2009, -0/+17The fireworks are stored under the consoles.
  • NikoKun, on 05/20/2009, -1/+17MOAR LENS FLARE!
  • groo68, on 05/20/2009, -1/+16Seriously.
  • etherreal, on 05/20/2009, -3/+16iBridge.
  • AllanX, on 05/20/2009, -0/+12Ten minutes on that bridge and you'll need to lie down from the visual fatigue.
  • Utumno, on 05/20/2009, -0/+10No, it only looked that way in that one scene because the ship was being shown upside-down. To remind you that there is no "up" in space, I guess.
  • davidlow, on 05/20/2009, -1/+10Which was one of the great things about the cinematography in this movie imho. In every other space-based movie all vessels share the same Z-axis. Up is the same for every ship.

    Abrams got it right.
  • TommyTubesteak, on 05/20/2009, -1/+9Thank you.... I was thinking the same thing... uhhhgggg it's awful! ....I did like the movie though.
  • assbeard, on 05/20/2009, -1/+9are you implying the original 1701 could not seperate? cus it could. They just never did.
  • quinnquinn12, on 05/20/2009, -1/+9There is a black hole in the center of the bridge? What happened did they spill some red matter?
  • JDLamb88, on 05/20/2009, -0/+6Not enough Uhura mini-skirts.
  • NathanielJ, on 05/20/2009, -4/+10Why on earth does dragging one way make it scroll the other way? Who designed that?
  • 360photo, on 05/20/2009, -1/+7Well normally it would be a 360x180 for full field but the photographer was lazy and did not bother shooting the Nadir. Wish there was a high res vsersion, but nice to see.
  • redrabbit, on 05/20/2009, -0/+5I also loved how a couple space shots had absolutely no sound, just like how it would be in real life in a vacuum.
  • MonkeyNews, on 05/20/2009, -0/+5Here is a panoramic view of the original Enterprise bridge with a few different views (NX-01) - I prefer it to the new Enterprise bridge.

  • andymci, on 05/20/2009, -0/+5And to think that people thought I was crazy when I kept mumbling about the UPC scanners...
  • kiwimonk, on 05/20/2009, -0/+5I was wondering why they have so many bar code scanners everywhere. Price check on Star Trek Merchandise?
  • Pinkertinkle, on 05/20/2009, -1/+6What's with all those glamour lights
  • JasonCox, on 05/20/2009, -1/+5It was on top of the saucer module, but it wasn't at the *top* like in every real Star Trek series, it looked like it was a deck or two down from the top.
  • Harabeck, on 05/20/2009, -1/+5It's not a drag function, the camera moves towards the mouse.
  • ansecos, on 05/20/2009, -1/+5awesome
  • novaseeker, on 05/20/2009, -2/+6wallpaper anyone?
  • theclar, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4I liked the movie but that bridge is horrible. Why are their so many lights?!? Why does the floor light up? Those stations to the left and right of the captain's chair break up the set really poorly. Way too many materials, and colors for one set.

    It should have been closer to the original or even the bridge from that horrible Enterprise show. And while I'm at it the design of the Enterprise was crap too.
  • will-rom, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4I stopped counting the barcode scanners at 12. Anyone count more?
  • psion01, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4It was called the "primary hull".
  • getlogicated, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4looks like you're walking through the light fixture aisle at home depot.
  • inactive, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3You need to be quiet. Nobody cares past your first paragraph.
  • inactive, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3"There were five curtain calls. I was an actor once, damn it. Now look at me. Look at me! I won't go out there and say that stupid line one more time."

  • TheAeneid, on 05/20/2009, -3/+6"Guess what?! I've got a fever, and the only prescription... is more lens flare!"
  • TheAeneid, on 05/20/2009, -1/+4The term implies the space. Geezus *****, diggers. You guys bring new meaning to literal minded. If you're standing on a watch tower that has a 360 view, do you think you can only see a finite straight line across the horizon? To quote Vizzini from Princess Bride, "Morons!"
  • knuckles, on 05/20/2009, -1/+4Off topic but if anyone is interested in cubic VR (panoramic VR's) done in Flash then I suggest grabbing this open source copy which was developed by Andre Michelle (inspired by yours truly): http://cubicvr.popforge.de/

    I mention this only because it's a billion times faster than whatever the linked site is using.
  • AWBoy666, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3Looks cluttered and ugly. TNG was much prettier.
  • MacBandit, on 05/20/2009, -1/+4I prefer the cardboard original
  • inactive, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3Thats a sweet as wessel.
  • inactive, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2NEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!!!
  • JinxCrow, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2The chairs don't look as comfy as I'd think the future would make them to be.
  • spriggig, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2I would gladly wait for a higher res image.
  • stubear, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2Hey, look, it's R2D2...
  • eXcommunicate, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2WOW! Awesome!
  • yizuman, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2I want one!
  • AmazingSteve, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2I swear that those Helm chairs are my Mom's kitchen chairs from the 70's.
  • FurtThePirate, on 05/20/2009, -2/+4Theres more than a 360 degree view. Not that there is much when you look up or down.
  • Gee1004, on 05/20/2009, -1/+3Nice picture, but in the movie you can't see ***** except lens flare and too much camera movement
  • CColtManM, on 05/20/2009, -3/+5Wasn't the bridge on the bottom of the saucer section in the movie?

    Look at me, saying "saucer section," no way it is as good at 1701-D.
  • Slides, on 05/20/2009, -1/+3And the lens flare part was good too
  • MCA2142, on 05/20/2009, -0/+2"The show must go on."
