The mobile emitter might simulate that in order for the hologram to seem more realistic, absolutely agree. I thought it might also be the ME being transported and this is an effect of the ME vanishing and the hologram therefore loses stability. I'm watching ST series, I've seen some films but haven't read anything. So, there might be an explanation in one of the books to why this happens? | |

To add to the theory of later tech, it's also worth noting that the Doctor's mobile emitter is 29th century tech taken from the USS Aeon, so the hologram tech is also 7 centuries more advanced than previous examples. Maybe part of its programming is to simulate physical transportation of the hologram? | |

| Sep 26, 2019 at 11:01 | comment | added | Shade | @Darren Yes, technology has moved on. That might be the answer. TNG is in 22 century, Voyager in 23 century. So, is that clarified somewhere, that in the 23 century, it is possible to transport holograms? | |
