If this is from 2008, does anybody know what's up with one of the last slides which states "There was an interesting procedural full 3d image in this slide.
After some explanations on it, speech attendees were flashed

- fractallyte 10y agoProbably referring to the 'neuralyzer' gadget from the movie Men In Black (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralyzer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralyzer). But could also be a reference to the 'visual knock-out capsules' from Alfred Bester's SF novel 'The Demolished Man': "They were cubes of copper, half the size of fulminating caps, but twice as deadly. When they were broken open, they erupted a dazzling blue flare that ionized the Rhodopsin - the visual purple in the retina of the eye - blinding the victim and abolishing his perception of time and space."
