In addition to cropping the frame, it warps the image to map each frame to a set of points calculated to fit a simulated camera following a line, parabola, or a filtered version of the original camera path. When sped up, the end result is

Yep, not to mention the manufacturing technologies required to meet the length matching and impedance targets. It's probably not realistic for hobbyist projects. I think this is mostly useful as a reference for making other types of

Well, on the flipside you have the NSA's recent "Equasion" firmware flasher. Assuming the various hard drive companies weren't collaborating (and I'd assume they weren't considering it was distributed with a v

Looks similar to what's on top of Google's self-driving cars. I didn't really imagine that much integration between Boston Dynamics and the rest of Google, but perhaps this is a sign that the two groups have joined (or are a

Isn't there something you want to see and not touch, or touch less often you can put in the top? The top of almost all my screens is usually occupied by a weather/calendar/email/news/etc. widget up top

Economics says people will pay what they think something is worth, and it's up to the consumer to balance the cost vs. the utility they get from it. In your examples the key is if the buyer was fully informed, or surprised and learned

This reminds me of: http://www.zephyrosanemos.com/ - another very impressive webGL terrain demo. One thing I particularly like about the zephyrosanemos is the realtime rendering of the procedural terrain generation. I&#x27

According to the article, "the average speeds of Netflix's prime-time streams to Comcast subscribers had dropped 27% since October" I guess the question is, did all other traffic see the same drop? And what changes in their
