Created by [[Gehn]], and based on a combination of remembered technology from the [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] and the [[Amad]], '''imagers''' have been found on various parts of [[Riven]] and Gehn's office Age, [[Age 233|233]]. They are able to create a [[Holography|holographic]] 3D image within a spherical cage of metal bars. | Created by [[Gehn]], and based on a combination of remembered technology from the [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] and the [[Amad]], '''imagers''' have been found on various parts of [[Riven]] and Gehn's office Age, [[Age 233|233]].

Imagers can apparently be set with recorded images and movies, such as the devices in Age 233 and the [[school room]] on the [[Jungle Island]] of Riven, or can also produce a live video created in a remote location.

This is shown by the [[Temple Island]] imager, the most massive of the three, being approximately <abbr title="7.6 m">25 feet</abbr> in diameter. It is controlled by an operator in a separate room down a hidden hallway, who sits in a chair surrounded by a similar cage, and whose image, movements, and voice are transmitted and enlarged to the large sphere. It should be noted that, while Riven only depicts Gehn's head and shoulders, the chair was designed to display the entire chair located in the "recording" room; this was changed for gameplay reasons, to enable players to actually see Gehn's facial expressions. [[RAWA]] posted a photograph and explanation in the old [[Cyan]] Cam archives. | ||
The two smaller devices are about | The two smaller devices are about <abbr title="30.5 cm">1 foot</abbr> in diameter, and are powered by the turning of a hand cranked handle. Nothing of how these devices work is known at this time, although notes have been found pertaining to them in Gehn's lab journal on [[Book Assembly Island]]. | ||
