This is really really weird? What is this game? I don't really like Patrick as much as the other Giant Bomb guys, he's not as charming. He does some nice stories that doesn't feel very much Giant Bomb though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted September 18, 2011 If you suffer from motion sickness, this will probably make you sick. I don't get it, and felt a bit queasy, but it was totally worth it for the eureka moment when the rotors started spinning and I realised what was about to happen to the image: EnrwrwMfNSs RPM of the rotors is set to sync with the frame rate of the camera, meaning a stable image with pleasingly weird phasing effects.

I don't get it, and felt a bit queasy, but it was totally worth it for the eureka moment when the rotors started spinning and I realised what was about to happen to the image Such a great idea. And then all of a sudden, BAM! "Reality hits you hard bro." Best quote. These things are not new, but i'll be damned if they're not still freaking amazing.

Nachimir Posted September 19, 2011 Instancing time while folding space. Excellent Also saw this prototype recently, where the player can compress space along any vector: http://www.vimeo.com/25620314 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted September 19, 2011 Here's a thought: I wonder if these funky games can help people visualize time/space/etc in ways in which we really weren't capable of intuitively getting a hold of, and thus help a new generations of mathematicians and the like solve some mathematical/physical problems or notice new stuff heretofore unknown.

Nappi Posted September 20, 2011 http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-11-final-fantasy/721186 I find this trailers fascinating. Cheesy song, over-dramatic (English) voice acting, poor writing, terrible lip-sync, loads of spoilers, bizarre references to 90s stoner rock band... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted September 20, 2011 Well, concerning the spoilers, I'm sure the game is like 300 hours long again, and this is just the 45 hour intro. So, uh, yea. Final Fantasy is dead to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tanukitsune Posted September 23, 2011 Did I miss the news about this new technology or something? I thought we could only measure brain activity in a way that just shows which areas are being active? Shouldn't it look like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noyb Posted September 23, 2011 Some insight into the workings of their visualization algorithm: KMA23JJ1M1o This video is organized as follows: the movie that each subject viewed while in the magnet is shown at upper left. Reconstructions for three subjects are shown in the three rows at bottom. All these reconstructions were obtained using only each subject's brain activity and a library of 18 million seconds of random YouTube video that did not include the movies used as stimuli. (In brief, the algorithm processes each of the 18 million clips through the brain model, and identifies the clips that would have produced brain activity as similar to the measured activity as possible. The clips used to fit the model, the clips used to test the model and the clips used to reconstruct the stimulus were entirely separate.) The reconstruction at far left is the Average High Posterior (AHP). The reconstruction in the second column is the Maximum a Posteriori (MAP). The other columns represent less likely reconstructions. The AHP is obtained by simply averaging over the 100 most likely movies in the reconstruction library. These reconstructions show that the process is very consistent, though the quality of the reconstructions does depend somewhat on the quality of brain activity data recorded from each subject. So apparently the visuals aren't directly read from the brain pixel-by-pixel. They're reconstructed by averaging together one-second YouTube clips that their model believes would have generated similar brain activity upon viewing.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted September 23, 2011 That would explain why you can clearly see things that aren't there. Like the word "Portillo" in the last clip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted September 23, 2011 Now that is interesting! So apparently the visuals aren't directly read from the brain pixel-by-pixel. My brain would probably have melted if that had been the case (or if that was even technically possible). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thompson Posted September 24, 2011 My brain would probably have melted if that had been the case (or if that was even technically possible). I'd like to see a visual representation of the activity in your brain as it melts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
