Seeing Things: Visual Disturbances We All Experience

What are those floaty things in your eye? (TED-Ed lesson)

deathcow says...

@Fairbs I have good days and bad days with them... but the good days are when I am inside not looking at blue skies : ) Or snowy fields, that can be bad. I actually switch my videosift to black and for my job (as software developer) I switch my editors to black backgrounds also. This minimizes their appearance.

For telescopes and microscopes , I use binoviewers which dramatically reduce the perception of floaters as two eyes are averaged out.

Gibson guitars now tune themselves robotically

chingalera says...

What kind of guitar is it? The problem may lie in a cheap-as-hell, made in (insert Asian country here) by shitty manufacturers using crap-ass parts for the machine head.
I would hasten to guess that the floater you have is on a sub-standard axe??

Does it work with floating tremolos?
I curse my guitar every time I try to tune it.

Eyeball Floaters Explained

deathcow says...

About 15 yrs ago, I had an explosive bright light go off inches from my eyes. It hurt... intensely... about 2 days later the floaters arrived. I guess my eyes were injured pretty well. A LOT of floaters. I've lived with them since. Looking at a blue sky can look like looking through egg whites.

Watch a Capsized 115,000-Ton Cruise Ship Get Righted

jmd says...

Ahh so its not done yet... still need to attach the second set of floaters and raise it. Still, awesome job, I would have hated doing so much work in the black of night.

Why Doesn't Somebody Know How to Flush the Toilet?

That's rubbish parenting, if all she can do is swear to get her point across then i'm not surprised they're leaving floaters in the bog. On the other hand, it was funny as hell.

Sixty Symbols - How Do 3D Glasses Work

deathcow says...

I have never seen any 3D TV experience that "worked" for me. When its 1080P per eye at 60 fps per eye, we'll be there.

My experience comes from using telescopes. Even though there is one lens, casting one image cone, when you use a binoviewer several things happen. 1) everything looks bigger, though its the same size.. this is reported over and over again by people. 2) low contrast high resolution details are easier to see, even though its the same image per eye. 3) problems you have with one eye are diminished, especially floaters in your eyes just fade away.

Now they are coming out with 3D TV which require no glasses at all, but unless they can pump the signal rate up it still will fall short for me.

Mirrors, Breaking the Future Documentary

Very interesting, but definitely should be in the non existent New Age long*ed haired channel. I call bullshit until they put this tin foil on my head and I take it for a spin. Until then... there's still DMT for your hyperspace symbolism's.

But then again, who knows. Brion Gysin and William S Burroughs created the Dream Machine. I have used a dream machine before and it was fuckionng mind-mindbogglingly awesome. I even vectorised the schematics for easy printing if you have access to a large printer and sturdy yet bendable cardboard. These days laser cutters are all over so one could just get the material and send it to a cutter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOZh7oSUY30

And of course lets not forget the stories of people that have used isolation tanks aka floats in which the floater enters the theta state.
