Star Trek<\/a> turns 60 in 2026, but fans aren\u2019t waiting for the date to show up on a press calendar. The franchise\u2019s tech-heavy fan scene is already up and running online, from browser-based starships<\/strong> and bridge simulators to LCARS dashboards, old-school software, and 3D-printable props you can download right now.<\/p>\n

Trekorama has rebuilt Star Trek CD-ROM material so it runs in a browser, which means you can poke around bridges, the holodeck, Klingon interiors, and those big open space scenes without digging up old hardware. The Roddenberry Archive has 360-degree tours<\/strong> of the Enterprise bridge. And if a tour sounds too passive, Artemis<\/a>, Space Nerds in Space, and Empty Epsilon let you run a multiplayer bridge crew yourself, assuming you can round up enough people to fill the stations.<\/p>\n\n

LCARS projects are having another moment too, especially on Android<\/strong> through Total Launcher<\/a> and Trek: Total Launcher. Beyond that, there are interactive star charts, DIY control panels, and hobby-electronics dashboards floating around online. Older titles are resurfacing as well, including Type Trek and the original 1971 text-based Star Trek game. On the prop side, Thingiverse offers an easy way in with a Next Generation comm badge before you get ambitious and move on to tricorders, phasers, and full starships.<\/p>\n\n

If you want something more hands-on for the anniversary, this is probably the most fun route, especially since Paramount\u2019s official Star Trek 2026 plans<\/strong> still feel a little thin to some viewers. The lineup, according to Paramount, includes restored screenings, a cruise, a Rose Parade float, and Starfleet Academy. Meanwhile, most of the fan-made stuff is already here. You can try it in a browser, on Android, through Linux-friendly downloads, or with 3D-print files online.<\/p>\n
