Mobile Emitter

The autonomous self-sustaining mobile holo-emitter, or mobile emitter, is a widely used piece of hardware in the Zodiac Empire.  While originally designed to allow the Photonic officer, originally Mark 1 EMH, commonly referred to as the 'Doctor' to interact with his fellow crew outside sickbay and the holodecks in areas without integrated holographic projection systems, it also has use in allowing the use of non-sentient holographic characters in a wider range of enviroments - for example, open air Shakespeare plays that don't require the 'stage' to be gutted for the installation of projection hardware.
Currently, mobile emitters are most often use in the Zodiac Empire by members of the Photonic species to allow them free-range in enviroments without being restricted to integrated projector systems.
[b]Usage[/b]
The mobile emitter is a wholly self-contained holographic projector, generating the photons and force fields necessary to allow a hologram to physically interact with its environment. The emitter is either affixed to the exterior of the active holoprogram and thereby visible, or it could be covered or enveloped by the program, effectively hiding it from view.Category:Equipment
