A new website from Roddenberry Entertainment and digital graphics company OTOY now allows Star Trek fans to visit the most famous starship bridges from all around the final frontier — virtually, that is — through a new portal called the Roddenberry Archive.
 
Through this new web portal, visitors can explore highly-detailed, three-dimensional replicas of the bridge of all starships called Enterprise — along with the USS Voyager — from every iteration and time period of the Star Trek franchise.
 
This includes the Enterprise-B from Star Trek: Generations, the Enterprise-C from “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” the Enterprise-F and Enterprise-G from Star Trek: Picard, and the Kelvin Timeline Enterprise.
 

 
The partnership also includes a number of video features exploring the powerful use of digital graphics in recreating key time periods from Star Trek’s past, like this fascinating (pardon the pun) exploration of a hypothetical moment where Ambassador Spock visits Captain Kirk’s grave on Veridian III as the Enterprise-D saucer is extracted from the planet’s surface.
 

 
This lengthy video explores the return of the Next Generation crew — and the Enterprise-D — in Star Trek: Picard, utilizing the virtual OTOY sets to depict the starship’s interior over many time periods.
 

 
From Deadline’s coverage of the new partnership:
 

The web portal will allow fans to virtually explore the many dozens of evolutionary iterations of the famous Starship Enterprise bridge, across every epoch of Star Trek‘s history, with each bridge made accessible in the timeline as a 1:1 scale, “in-universe,” 360 recreation. De Lancie, who has portrayed extra-dimensional being Q since 1987’s Star Trek: The Next Generation, narrates a supplementary documentary, offering a deep dive into the evolution and legacy of the bridge — from its inception in Pato Guzman’s 1964 sketches, through its portrayal across decades of films and TV series, to its latest incarnation on the Enterprise-G, as revealed in the final episode of Star Trek: Picard.

 

This combined documentary and exploratory online experience brings the legacy and history of the starship Enterprise to life through meticulous recreations of the filming sets used for production as well as the aforementioned “in-universe” life size, functional immersive virtual interiors. The recreations were produced for the Gene Roddenberry Estate, and overseen by veteran Star Trek artists including Denise and Michael Okuda, who authored The Star Trek Encyclopedia, as well as Daren Dochterman, Doug Drexler and Dave Blass.

 

The Archive will also, for a limited time, allow fans to try an experimental technology preview through the web portal, enabling them to walk onto the bridges of the Enterprise (boasting working turbolifts and consoles) and explore them in every detail, all from an instantaneous livestream.

You can find out more about this engrossing project at the Roddenberry Archive website and through the OTOY YouTube channel.
