Getting Immersed in Star Trek. Storytelling Between "True" and False on the Holodeck

Abstract

The holodeck in Star Trek is a device that creates a virtual, fictional reality that is virtually indistinguishable from actual reality. The user experiences an extremely high degree of immersion. The article explains what consequences arise when the boundaries between reality and fiction become blurred and the user can no longer distinguish between the two worlds.
