Welcome to the O.A.S.I.S. Ready Player One.
With the award-winning Ready Player One book about to be released as a Steven Spielberg movie, now seemed like a good time to look at the science behind the O.A.S.I.S. and whether our current technology is even close to replicating the wonders of this story. Let's take a look at individual technologies that comprise Ernie Cline's vision, as well as taking a close up look at the software that powers the O.A.S.I.S. and the many planets and people that live, work and play in its digital universe.
Hardware
A lot of the hardware that Wade Watts, the protagonist, uses seems to be within the reach of this decade. From Haptic gloves to 360 treadmills, there a lot of start-ups working to bring these technologies to life.
