The Imagination Station is a key invention of John Whittaker and one of the most important plot devices in Adventures in Odyssey, similar to (and possibly directly inspired by) Star Trek's "holodeck". Since its invention by Whit, it has been involved in several dozen AIO episodes, videos, and books. The specific workings of the Imagination Station are not clear, except that it is a virtual reality device that allows users to experience history.

Development

Environment Enhancer

The first development of the "Imagination Station" occurred in episode #46: “The Shepherd and the Giant”. In the episode, Whit allows Connie to try out his new Environment Enhancer, a device that "adds effects and music while you're listening to a story, to make it seem like you're there". At the start of the episode, Whit references a microchip and a processor, in addition to headphones. Connie uses the Environment Enhancer to listen to the story of David and Goliath. The Environment Enhancer makes no further appearances in the AIO storyline, though in #53: “The Sacred Trust”, Eugene can be heard talking to Whit about how to increase the visual effectiveness of the device, foreshadowing the eventual creation of the Imagination Station.

"Digger" Digwillow's Adventure

The first user of the Imagination Station (excepting Whit, who, presumably, tested it) was Digger Digwillow, in episodes #66: “The Imagination Station, Part 1” & #67: “The Imagination Station, Part 2”. "Digger," who described the Imagination Station as resembling "one of those old time machines in the comics", witnessed the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus through the machine.

Features/Programs

Typically, Imagination Station programs have covered either Bible stories (like Christ's crucifixion, the story of David and Jonathan, and Moses and the Passover) or historical events (the American Revolution, the Gettysburg Address, etc.). This feature essentially allows the user to time travel, albeit via a virtual reality simulation.

However, programs are not limited to either of these; for the most part, programs can be written about whatever the programmer chooses. In one notable episode, #211: “The Mortal Coil, Part 1” & #212: “The Mortal Coil, Part 2” Whit wrote a program about death, which (though he didn't know it at the time he wrote the program) allowed the one in the Imagination station a glimpse of either Heaven or Hell. While in the program, Whit experienced a heart attack in real life, but remained in a coma after stabilizing because he was unwilling to let go of the glimpse of Heaven he had caught. After waking up, Whit made the decision to delete the program. Meanwhile, Eugene Meltsner experienced a taste of Hell, and as a result, he soon became a Christian to leave behind the agony.

And in the episodes #318: “A Touch of Healing, Part 1” and #319: “A Touch of Healing, Part 2”, Jason Whittaker creates a feature that allows a person to do anything in the Imagination Station, by just imagining it, in the hopes that the blind could see and the lame could walk. But it causes some problems he didn't expect. He thus decided to delete the program.

Capabilities

  • It has a scanner that can make an adventure with the picture or paper
  • It can automatically put in the adventure that you are thinking of
  • Capacity has been steadily increased overtime from one rider to upwards of possibly ten
  • A few medical uses have appeared. Allowing kids to walk, restore sight, bring Eugene Meltsner's memory back.

Modifications

Involvement with story arcs

Eugene Meltsner used the Death Program and found himself in Hell because he was not a Christian. In fear of Hell, he hid inside his college dorm room, where Connie witnessed to him about Christianity. Eugene later used the Imagination Station to relive his life in Odyssey and decided to become a Christian.

The Imagination Station played a huge role in the Novacom Saga, and in the episode #424: “Blackgaard's Revenge, Part 1” & #425: “Blackgaard's Revenge, Part 2”.

Whit made a program in the Imagination Station to stimulate memories when Eugene lost his. Ultimately, Eugene regained his memory due to prayer, while the Imagination Station and Eugene's radio wave research played only a small part (#566: “A Most Extraordinary Conclusion”).

Jason created a program that allows the user to do anything they want just by imagining it. This temporarily allowed a wheelchair bound kid to walk and a blind kid to see. The effects of this "healing" only lasted for as long as the Imagination Station was in use, and did not last once the user disengaged the machine. This caused a dependency of sorts among the kids of Odyssey and the line for the Imagination Station quickly grew, much to chagrin of the parents of Odyssey. Realizing the type of damage this was doing, Jason disengaged the program.
