Something I've always wondered about holodecks...
Can they make you look different? For instance, if I wanted to play a kajit (cat person) in Oblivion, but walked into the holodeck as my normal human self, would the holo-projectors be able to make me look like a kajit?
And if they could do that then would you also be able to run anime holo-novels in the anime style?
Am I making much sense here?
confused I've often wondered why nobody bothered, but the holodeck could easily overlay
a holographic image over a person and keep updating it.
ST tech for a moving holographic disguise or outfit was possible,
and in a holodeck or holosuite was well within the design.
Basically, if you looked down at yourself, you'd see the hologram.
It's easy to program the figures in a holo-program to react AS IF
you were dressed any way you want or appear any way you want.
It's just funnier to forget to do that and have the characters say you're
in "pajamas".
It's also possible to program them to not care how you're dressed.
When Tasha Yar called up an Aikido program, the opponent had
combat programming,
but didn't care what she wore.
It didn't respond to HER outfit or the Ligonian's outfit.

Actually, now that I think of it,
I'd need to watch "Star Trek:First Contact" again to tell if Picard's
Dixon Hill white/black tuxedo was holographic or if he actually
stopped with Borg loose to put on a tie. (Then there's Alfre
Woodard's dress also...)
I THINK the outfits were holographic.
