Joi

It could work if the hologram are projected on his contact lenses, similar to Microsoft's Hololens, since he's a skinjob they could have baked the lens into his eyes during manufacture.

Star Wars has never been hard sci-fi. Light doesn't work like that, it doesn't just stop in mid space, turn around, and reflect back. BR2049 is a worse sci-fi than the original film.
Yeah, a brain/eye implant. That would make the most sense. Except they went and made it retarded as possible.

nanomachines perhaps. they might project the image onto each other, they could presumably also function as sensors for her eyes and stuff

>Science FICTION

IIRC there's a projector in the ceiling of the apartment but as far as stuff like Las Vegas ruins goes, not sure...

>IIRC
Are you retarded or did you not even see the film? The OP screenshot in question is the moment Joi is switched from the projector to that little magic device K is holding. This device is able to work even with it in K's pocket, which makes zero sense unless you turn your brain off.

She's not even projected there, K and the other characters only have her rendered in their mind.

where's this from again?

when is that explained in the flim, or is it in some other media?

Oh, yeah I am retarded, haven't seen the film in a while, so just went off memory...

So yeah it's probably a shared implant with Wallace corp's technology (maybe local activation in the presence of a Joi?), but that erodes away some of the film's chase aspects...

GRRM attempting to criticize Tolkien.

Forgot to direct reply, further cementing my retardation levels.

I work in augmented reality and do holograms for car huds.
And I don't care. Stop overanalyzing.

Just saw this movie for the first time yesterday and I don't really think this is a plothole. What I really didn't get was, why didn't Luv finish the job and kill K after they got Deckert? She just left him lying there.

There's nothing to understand, the film just pretends it's possible when it's not. It's appealing to the general audience, the same people who watch superhero flicks.

why does gossling look so bad in t shirts in this movie? I know he's pretty fit. is it just his body type?

Joi is projected from the emanator. She's only projected when the emanator is out in the open. When it's in the pocket, only sounds can be heard.

Luv does obviously try to kill him, but that scene got cut out in the editing room.
Villeneuve has cut a scene of Luv doing extremely violent things in that scene to K like stomping his chest until his insides rupture that definitely imply that she is leaving him dead there, but he cut it out because it ended up being "a bit much".
That's why you see K so fucked in pic related scene far more than when we last saw him.

It's just shit writing. She had no problem killing everyone in her/Wallace's way prior, so there's no valid reason she'd leave the only person who could stop her and has knowledge of events alive.

The biggest plot-hole is Wallace, however. The only reason given for why he can't engineer replicants to be able to reproduce is "Tyrell's trick". We're somehow supposed to believe Tyrell did the impossible and then it was lost due to the blackout. But the technicalities are never discussed, it's just given that for some reason it's impossible to engineer replicants to reproduce. Unsubstatiated horseshit as a major plot device.

But that's wrong, it's in his pocket on multiple occasions while she's present on-screen and interacting with the world. In the very first scene when she freezes in the rain, he pulls it out of his pocket to hide the projection. How was it projecting in the first place?

Luv doesn’t just want to kill K, if she wanted that she could've done it right at the start of the film.

Their interaction didn't start as a hunt/rivalry, their interaction developed just as their characters. First Luv is even trying to be sligthly intimate with K and K ignores her in that regard, Luv even calls him "a good boy" when talking to Madam.
It's only later after K survives Vegas where Luv most certainly wants to prove to herself (and to Wallace) that she's the best one by even mimmicking Wallace in the action, she wanted to be special just like K wanted to be special, but her only way of being special is by being "the best one" to Wallace, which is the tragic existence of her character.

>it's just given that for some reason it's impossible to engineer replicants to reproduce
Not impossible, but hard. Ofcourse it's ten times easier to produce an already developed set physically unchangeable being than to produce a being capable of birthing another small being that then has to grow like a human being from a kid to an adult along with all of it's organs and the entire structure.

Why didn't K do anything for these orphans, instead only caring about himself, his worthless little memory, and one single replicant child? He dies literally for nothing in the snow, because we the audience know there are hundreds if not many more hopeless children who'll never be saved. But the film forces the reunion of Deckard and some literally who (why is the child special again, besides being born of unusual circumstances? Are we really supposed to believe the only thing holding back the divide is replicants not knowing they can reproduce?) as important when in facts it's just cheap emotional pandering.

Joi jerk off instructions, what did he mean by this

K is made aware that someone is on his tracks, and willing to kill (the coroner, the scavengers who Luv bombed). Knowing this, he still chooses to lie to his superior, leading to her death. He's directly responsible for this. K has no morals whatsoever, and sacrificing himself to save Deckard doesn't make up for the people he killed.

Joi told K he was special, jerk off instructions tell you you're special, both of them are lying and you aren't special.

i just want to see a world where K and Luv end up as a happy familly

>tragic existence of her character
Imagine actually believing this. Pic related. Roy was tragic, Luv in comparison isn't even a real character, you can practically see the shitty script shine through.
>Not impossible, but hard
It's not explained why this is the case. Why would it be any harder than implanting memories (the brain is far more complex than reproductive organs and ensuring healthy genetic material)?

>"Bigger than you... bigger than you have tried to shut me down. Bigger than you, and they were MEN at that."
Also K is still just a sheep replicant at that point, not some grand justice seeker. Literally a bio engineered husk searching for his identity.
>He dies literally for nothing in the snow
Reuniting a father his daughter is not nothing.
>why is the child special again
She's a child of a replicant and with her Wallace or the rebel replicants can achieve total independent freedom.
>Are we really supposed to believe the only thing holding back the divide is replicants not knowing they can reproduce
No, they are physically incapable of doing so, but Rachael was capable because she was a special project of Tyrell. The daughter is the only evidence and leftover of that and Wallace wants to find her so he can crack the code of reproduction and conquer everything.

>Why would it be any harder than implanting memories
Implanting memories is as easy as copy pasting a file.
>the brain is far more complex than reproductive organs
We can replicate the function of a human brain with AI and neural networks even today, even more than that. We can't produce a being capable of reproduction though, especially a bio engineered human being capable of reproduction.

Nobody would give a shit about a bunch of orphans. If K told somebody they'd just ignore it or possibly send them off to some place worse.

>No, they are physically incapable of doing so, but Rachael was capable because she was a special project of Tyrell. The daughter is the only evidence and leftover of that and Wallace wants to find her so he can crack the code of reproduction and conquer everything
Wallace wants to make more replicants that can reproduce? So why can't the replicants tell up with him? Or he doesn't want any more replicants that can reproduce? There's only 1 out there, what's the big deal. And that one's only a mutt. It 2 or 3 generations the genes will be so muddled maybe they'll stop being able to reproduce again.

what do you expect from such a dishonest filmaker? they have hologram waifus in 2049 but can't make mirrors.

>Wallace wants to make more replicants that can reproduce?
Wallace didn't create a single replicant that can reproduce, Tyrell did. He wants to obtain the child so he can reverse engineer her and start creating replicants that can reproduce.

Replicants reproducing means an exponential growth of replicants compared to building them one by one, also no need of transport or buildings of factories on other planets since then every replicants becomes a factory itself
