- Video recorded in 1987.
There is no full version of this video on CZcams, so I decided to upload it. I do not own this video nor claim copyright to it's use. It is currently available in two parts on the Internet Archives, here: archive.org/de... and here: archive.org/de... I have uploaded this to CZcams purely for educational use.
Its so amazing (and sad) that things which were a reality so many years ago still look like science fiction today.
I don't know... the video is cool, but there's nothing in it that we don't already have today - and much better and more accessible.
wow, as an artist that has used digital art apps, that sketchpad thing is pretty mind blowing, that was in the 60's, and no one had decided to invest in that machine? as big as it was for as little memory as it had, a few bucks (a fair few) woulda went a long way into researching to make it better. but anyway. some of this stuff is pretty mind blowing even now. im sure there's a saying about sometimes having to look back in order to move forward. this is the perfect example of that. i think some of this stuff could most defo be used to improve slot of stuff to do with computers today.
you did a great job by uploading this video. thanks a lot
11:34 wow, how sci fi are those weird hums that thing makes? its pretty cool, i know its probably unintentional, but its pretty cool.
This guy is smart
Amazing ideas still unexploited today! Thank you so much for uploading this video.
17:02 holy crap, thats better than when webcam to webcam actually became a commercial thing. its only really just got as smooth as that in the past decade or so, if that, and yet there's this guy in the 60's with one waaaaay better. its like the moon landing footage, we've all seen those low quality images right? but apparently at ground control, there was one monitor at least, that showed what the camera was picking up, in near HD quality. it was never recorded i dont think, except externally by someone filming people watching the screen, and you can see ore detail on that screen than the people at home, or that we on the net, have seen it as. i wonder why it takes so long for obviously good technologies, to be researched, if at all, to get the commercialisation it should get? it kinda feels like some big tech company see thise awesome techs, and go ''hmm, lets buy that, so we can surpress it, so that we can make money by selling our crappy tech that we spent a shedload of cash researching and coming up with, and then after 25 years ro whatever, when we've recouped our money, then we bring out this new tech''
Fantastic upload +Kenneth Friedman
Thank you very much!
some of this stuff is epic. makes you wonder what technologies there are out there today, that are one of a kind and like science fiction, that should be available now, but probably won't be seen for decades to come due to people not investing in them, or buying and suppressing them.
in the words of Tom Servo ''good read Alan....good read'' lol
