It sounds like you saw the "Love Conquers All" version, but saw through the illusion. It's actually part of the original ending, but with all the framing of the scene removed. Definitely check out the director's cut.

I feel like it's kinda expected on Twitter, but I was genuinely creeped out when it happened within 10 minutes of me posting a complaint about a company on Facebook. Ironically, my complaint about the company was that they were creepy.

My wall of pixels is a 42" 60hz 4k display I bought on Amazon for $200 3 years ago. Best purchase ever, it's basically like having four 21" 1080p monitors stuck together with no gap. Really hard to get myself to code on my la

I recently ran across similar issues while developing a web app, https://rap.coach , that features simultaneous audio playback and recording. A lot of people are saying that Bluetooth headsets have to go into a super-low quality

I do video effects work and I'd suggest this could be very useful even with jitter, if you allow expanding the selection. A lot of time is spent creating "garbage mattes" for green screen footage, basically just roughly rotos

We're getting very close to high quality and inexpensive eye-tracking technology that will make it cheap and easy to implement foveated rendering in VR headsets (basically, only rendering high quality where your eye is looking in a com

I'm actually building in something similar to what you suggest, I'm calling it party mode. Basically you pull up Rap Coach on any device, enter party mode, and then a party URL is displayed on the interface. Anyone can go to that

Me too! Right now I'm doing everything except the music, and it's a lot of work, but I am planning to film a lot of videos of people freestyling with Rap Coach. The current videos are pretty much placeholders, but I do think they

Yeah, I've gone down on a motorcycle at a low speed and I crushed my foot. On a bicycle it would have just been scrapes. I stopped motorcycling after that.

The work done to clean up the footage in that Peter Jackson documentary is impressive, but the colorization is not. It basically looks like a movie colorization from the 80s, where they just segmented the image and painted one color over ea

I love slit-scan effects, it's such a simple but powerful concept. They're actually really easy to do now in post, After Effects has an effect called time displacement that allows you to displace time on a per pixel level. So to r

The model shots as CGI reminds me of RoboCop's "thermal vision". Renting an actual heat sensing camera was too expensive, so they just filmed people in black spandex covered in fluorescent paints under a black light. It'

I had a similar level of access to my school's network when I was 12. It was really easy, just watch the teacher slowly peck-type her password. It was "teach". That gave me access to everything for her class. Later on she had

This reminds of an eBook of Neuromancer that I read, it was occasionally missing the letter f. For the most part I just added it back mentally without really thinking about it, but then sometimes I hit a passage like this: "He turned,

Quaternions recently made me look pretty smart. I was consulting at a company that's developing a VR real estate app, and the first thing I did was check to see whether they were calculating their rotations with quaternions. It was eas

There's one there that's a parking lot that ripples and the store is under the ripples, and it's only shown as a model. I'm guessing that one was never built, because it looks really dangerous and confusing for drivers.

Wow, I really like some of those. I'm surprised that I've never even heard of that company. There are more pictures available at the source: http://www.siteenvirodesign.com/content/best-products

You're never going to know that for sure, the more important part is that if you're going to try being clever make sure it can't be misinterpreted as you being an asshole.

While I agree that the failure mode of being clever can be asshole, I really don't think that's the default failure mode most of the time. I wish he had provided some examples so I could have a clearer grasp on exactly what he mea

You can set the boundaries of your VR space to be really small, so you're always activating the boundary grid. This would give you a frame of reference for the real world, and probably reduce your motion sickness. There are actually a
