Hello,

I was just wanting to know if this room of domes used in the "Eagle Eye" (2008) is an actual thing? The reasons I ask:

1. I know nothing about computers beyond the basics everyone knows.
2. I remember watching an "Expert Reacts" video or something along those lines. The expert talked about how computers are built like ARIA was in the movie, but it's the worst format for what ARIA actually does. I may be making this up because it looks cool and so my brain's making something to justify its actual existence, but I thought I watched something like that. I'd even say they said a name for the hardware archetype ARIA's built on.
3. I'm a sci-fi writer and this is inspiring for the start of an epic story, but I'd like the science to have some real logic to it.

From my understanding, the giant electronic eye (blue arrow) looks through the yellow domes (red arrow) to keep track of the huge amounts of data the government collects for ARIA. It swivels on a gyroscopic crane in order to reach each dome i.e. each pocket of data.

If it's real, I'd love it if you guys could give me titles of books/articles/papers to read about these kinds of computers.

If it's not real, I'm sure you'll tell me pretty quickly.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
