Hello Joshua...greetings Professor Falken
The company I worked for provided some hardware for the control center consoles seen in the clip below. They wanted everything to be functional to the point that messages would display when keys were pressed, etc. In fact that was all controlled by a CP/M computer in one of the glass booths on the mezzanine, running prepared scripts over serial channels. It was quite an extensive technical production rather than just faking it with CGI. The assistant director invited me for a tour and since they were filming the infirmary scene that day we got to see everything in the control room and all the behind the scenes tech. Very cool. But just an illusion nonetheless!
