Star Trek – The Animated Series
The futuristic holo-decks and holo-suites depicted in the various StarTrek productions were inspired by the holography laboratory Gene Dolgoff built within New York City and discussed with TV and film series creator Gene Roddenberry in 1973. In the animated episode titled The Practical Joker, the deck was called The Recreation Room and the plot line included an AI scenario that went horribly wrong. Dr. McCoy, Sulu, and Uhura were trapped inside it by the ship’s computer. (Excerpt- Profitable Intelligence)
