Roddenberry Archive

The Roddenberry Archive is a collaboration between the estate of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and computer graphics company OTOY to digitally preserve assets related to the Star Trek franchise. It was announced in August 2021 by Gene's son Rod and OTOY founder and CEO Jules Urbach. Longtime Star Trek production artists Mike and Denise Okuda, Doug Drexler, and Daren Dochterman were curating the archive by then. It was made available in 2024 as The Archive, a mixed reality app for the Apple Vision Pro.

In addition to preserving documents, images, blueprints, and models from Gene's career, the archive team began digitally recreating the starship USS Enterprise and other aspects of Star Trek stories. The archive also has featurettes made from interviews with various people connected to the Star Trek franchise, and several documentaries related to the digital recreations. In 2022, the archive team began creating a series of short concept videos which use new technology to visualize past actors and previously un-filmed imagery from the franchise. The 2024 short "765874 – Unification" received particular attention.
