@Nate - I saw that "Box" video earlier - If they've achieved being able to do that in a live performance, it'd be mind blowing to watch.

They claim that they can, but it would have to be something much simpler. So much of it only works because the images are rendered relative to the camera position. If you have an audience scattered around, it wouldn't be as effective.

I thought they were using 3D monitors or something (newish tech which came out last year), so that the audience would see the 3D effects no matter where they were sitting when watching it live?

I was under the impression that they had the camera move during filming of the performance as a way of showing the 3D effect in what would otherwise be a static and less impressive video for broadcasting on 2D screens. If you get what I mean.

Glasses-free 3D monitors only have a limited range of viewing. And similar to 3D monitors that need glasses, they're still only stereoscoping images. I.e. only two images (one for each eye) are displayed on the screen - not a full range of angles depending on where you're sitting.

This I like

Varrok 10-04-2013 08:44 AM

This was very good despite being new Simpsons

Mr. Bungle 10-04-2013 08:50 AM

That was good. Will probably be the best part of that episode, though.

DarkHoodness 10-04-2013 05:59 PM

Heh, new Simpsons with a subtle hint of its old style of humour... Shame Mr. Bungle is probably right.

I thought they'd worked out how to do that by now, but then I only skim-read articles on that. In the "Making of" video, they don't explain how they'd present it to a live audience of many people with multiple view points - Only to one person with motion tracking. And they use canvases on the robots which they project on to, not 3D screens as I had previously thought. But it's still awesome.

Speaking of robots:

The real trick is going to be combining all these robot breakthroughs into a single form.

You’re forgetting Boston Dynamics’ best project.

Why did they build a weird, four-legged Houndeye from Half Life

Crashpunk 10-05-2013 04:34 PM

They need to make P-Body next.

Is this an automated response, or is the Facebook staff really that thick? We had to inundate them with reports before they got their shit together.

How would you fuck a talking dragon in the first place?

Nate 10-06-2013 09:07 PM

I thought it was Prisoner Zero.

And, to answer your question, I would not accept an offer of oral sex.

Sounds like my kind of book.




I didn't know where the fuck to post this but aaaa excited

Nate 10-08-2013 02:37 AM

It's not actually a book. Try to pull it out and a trapdoor opens underneath your feet. Who knows where it might lead?

Dynamithix 10-08-2013 05:42 AM

It's real.
