Quake II In Full Motion Stereogram 3D Engine
crhylove writes "A guy called Lewey Geselowitz has hacked the GPL Quake II code to display a real time full motion stereogram SIRD 3D environment. Warning, though, it's very hard to play if you aren't excellent at focusing on SIRDS already. He has a download page on his personal site with more information." The page notes: "You finally saw the yacht in the seemingly random bunch of dots! Now use your skills to free yourself from your evil extra-dimensional zombie oppressors! Welcome to Quake II as it was never meant to be."
This software could cause brain damage, kill an epileptic, create pandomonium globally, or cause irreversable damage to your colon.
cool... a sailboat.
As I have yet to find a stereogram I could not view easily, I decided to take this for a spin. After playing for a few minutes I've noticed some interesting things.
1) Playability is greatly reduced by the fact that the HUD and crosshair is not put in stereo as well.
2) If someone is not familiar with the levels already, the lack of textures makes it almost impossible to navigate properly.
3) After quitting the game, I realize how much I enjoy viewing things in real world color/lighting
4) This is still pretty wicked awesome, and I have to give props to the creator.
Even people that believe in pre-destiny look both ways before crossing the street.
I can't play it because I only have one eye!
Actually tried to use this excuse (along with proving it by tapping my proshtetic eye really hard with a fingernail) to get into a 3d ride (the kind with the glasses) for half price. Never worked though.
