I know it cant be done with current tech, but it would be cool if you could be immersive in the film. and move around the scenes.
I guess when movies are 100% AI and not just green screen-CGI, it might be doable.

That's called a video game.
i think of games as more user-interactive than a 'movie'.
But yes, some game aspects would be play ( no pun.. hell, sure, a pun )

Exactly. It's not like it's new technology; it's been a solved problem for decades. It's just that nobody cares enough to pay for it, or even actively dislikes the effect. I saw a movie in 3D IMAX just once or twice, and I couldn't even tell you which films.
Wed Sep 04 2019 04:48:08 UTC from ParanoidDelusionsIf you want to relive your old classic retro machines - I can't recommend MiST, MiSTer and other FPGA platforms enough as the saner alternative to trying to keep 34+ year old machines alive and running.
Sorry for the post necro but the MISTer Pi looks like an affordable alternative to the DE10 Nano based MISTer. It lists for about $180 USD complete and for the MiniMig core, not all circuit boards are needed. If I weren't trying to conserve funds, I'd preorder for the next available batch. I've still got a stock A1200 and an A500 that I never use due to FS-UAE on my Linux box replacing them.
Also, my G4 Mac Mini running registered MorphOS costed about the same as the MISTer Pi and I program it about as much as the other Amiga-likes. After seeing how powerful the Flutter framework is I'm tempted to make a spinoff for AmigaE but that's for another discussion.
Most retro fans i know have moved on from FPGA to just regular emulation. While technically FPGA is more 'accurate' since its basically hardware ( i know, its a bit fuzzy ), but emulation software is close enough for most people.
The real hardcore, do neither and find the real thing and bring it back to life.

No need to apologize, every new member of our community adds something valuable.
Is the MISTer Pi an FPGA based solution like its predecessor, or does it really emulate all those gates in software?
I didnt real real close, but my guess it would be a FPGA hat, but of lesser power then the Mister, so i suspect its a bit of both now.
