Star Trek’s Melissa Navia Loved The Matrix Elements In Strange New Worlds – Looper

Of course, as Erica Ortegas didn’t often join the Enterprise’s away team when they set out to explore worlds strange and new, she didn’t get quite as much time with the AR wall as some of her castmates. As much as she clearly enjoyed walking in the pseudo-Matrix, her “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” co-stars eventually clued her into the fact that the malfunction wasn’t such a cool thing, with the actor telling TrekMovie, “I would get so excited because it was my first time doing it and everyone else who’d done it before, like Rebecca [Romijn], would be like, ‘This means we’re going to be here that much longer.'”

Melissa Navia’s co-star, Celia Rose Gooding, admitted during the same interview that everyone had a similar learning curve working with AR technology on the first season of “Strange New Worlds.” “I think it was totally a learning experience because of the technology of how it works,” Gooding said, claiming it can be wildly disorienting to work in the virtual environments until you actually get your bearings.

With a season’s worth of wall work behind them, Gooding went on to say the best is yet to come from the “Strange New Worlds” effects team.  And we cannot wait to see those Season 2 sights with our own eyes.
