  • Hi, I am writing a technical book about the specification for a Holodeck. I have designed a motherboard level photonic simulator and am going to add volumetric simulation capability if time allows. I am using my own concept mathematics to portray functionality at a proof of concept level. Thus the book is about proof of concept which is at stage one of the design pipeline, but at this stage it will show a working model of a photonic computer and how it loads an operating system and how it can drive a volumetric display and I have a theoretical approach to adding touch and the concept of realism to a scene in the holodeck.

  • Thank you. For my book I will have a lot of medical terminology. As well as doctors, nurses, wound care etc. I have a new perspective on how I will proceed. Great advice

  • Hi Steven, Sounds like you explore some interesting aspects of mathematics. What is the title of your book ? Paul Grodkowski
  • I am writing a how to book (thus technical book) and thought I would get some how to step---at least one idea of how to keep the book interesting. this video was not helpful.
  • mmm, so be your crazy self when writing boring technical work? Health can be boring to some, but you just gave me an idea. Within the book we could put some colourful stories.
