Ever wanted to walk through the Enterprise NCC-1701 in all its glory, just as it was when William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy walked its halls in the 1960s? Well now, thanks to Matterport, an immersive 3D scanning technology, and Star Trek Continues, whose sets are near-perfect replicas (in design and layout) of the 1960s TOS DesiLu sets, you can!



Walk The Halls of The Enterprise (no bloody A, B, C, or D)

Matterport, a Silicon Valley based startup, is bringing the world a new way to engage with interior spaces online. Often described as “Google Street View for inside spaces”, Matterport lets you walk through, zoom in on, and pan around virtual inside worlds like homes, libraries, and now the Big E. The 3D scans are captured with a specially designed Matterport camera, which combines sweeps of still images with a virtual 3D model of the space created from infrared data captured along with the visual stills and processed by Matterport servers. The Matterport rig is surprisingly easy to use and produces a fantastic result with little effort from the end-user.

Rick Mann, Senior Engineer at Matterport and huge Star Trek fan recently teamed up with Vic Mignogna and the Star Trek Continues crew to deploy his company’s tech at their Georgia-based studio (also shared with the Starship Farragut team). You can tour the bridge, walk the corridors, and even play around in the brand new engineering section. The scans start you off in the “doll house” view, giving you an overhead shot of everything captured by the cameras. You can then zoom in, walk around, and get immersed!
