Realtime ASCII Goggles

Posted by kdawson on from the through-crt-colored-spectacles dept.

    I could see a lot of uses for it. Not nessarly the ASCII Filter but other filters can be nice. Say a brightness filter may make you better able to see in low light. Negitive Filter may help you find Jesus, in cloth. Other Filters could aid learning artest how to draw by removing the natural shading in real life, and break things down into simple shapes. Heck the Ascii filter could probably be good for trainging for sending images on Low Bandwidth networks and having people get the images and decode them easier.

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

    I found the video posted on YouTube, for folks (like me) who didn't get to the main site before it started smoking.

    That's actually a common misquote. The real quote is: "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" This should definitely be one of the tags for this article, especially since the server is down.
