Very cool. Can't wait for HTML5 to be standard issue.
Wonder why Webkit browsers are suggested. It looks the same to me in FF3.6.3 as it does in Chrome. Maybe the new(er) Firefox has (better) HTML5 support?


I was going to propose that it was posted a while ago when FF's javascript was still significantly slower, but I found the article and it's only a few days old: http://www.craftymind.com/2010/04/20/blowing-up-html5-video-and-mapping-it-into-3d-space/

Maybe FF is faster on Win than on Mac? Or maybe your computer is just fast enough that the browser performance gap wasn't significant? I didn't see any problems either.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Video won't always be opaque to the non-human eye. I know that YouTube is experimenting with automatic subtitles using voice recognition. Also Google does a lot of work with image recognition- won't be long.>> ^spoco2:

Yeah, no issue with Firefox here, worked fine and dandy.
It is interesting indeed and am fascinated to watch how the web morphs along with this.
Of course, there will ALWAYS be those saying 'If you can't read it text only, it doesn't belong on the web'.
To which I say 'fuck off sir' (as it's pretty much always a male).
Sure, sites that have important information that requires access should be able to be read via screen readers etc. But why shouldn't there be exciting and interesting things out there to make our life on the web more interesting.
Do these same people believe that books with pictures should not exist? Or popup books?

Seriously this and Adobe CS5 already...>> ^silvercord:

Holy Moly. The technology is outstripping my ability to keep up with it! I'm beginning to understand why my dad checked out of the advances years ago.

I did think it was sort of clever with the coins in the bowl and he taps the glass with the bowl and one of them sticks to his magnet finger.. I think that is a neat trick to teach to your eight year old. What an amazing "talent" this guy is.

Well, the background isnt really how it appears, its made up of carefully positioned stands - for instance the radio is actually made up of two halfs which when the camera is positioned in front you cannot tell. The 'peeling back' of reality to reveal the jumble of different layers starts with the middle cup, which wasnt really a cup at all but rather a large sticker on the table in the last 'revealing' shot, then pans to the side where you see all the stands that made up the illusion of a room behind. Its a neat trick but having said that, I wouldnt say its awesome.

Seriously, he said they were about to suck some dick. Can we get this in the gay channel?

Blah... it's a neat trick, this video is horrid though. Not every skate trick needs to be through a fricking fish-eye lens.

Upon seeing this around when it was sifted, I've since bought/played SotC. As a fairly late-comer I can say the animation is incredibly fluid (for any game let alone a PS2 game that came out in 2005) and the engine uses some neat tricks to really bring out how massive and powerful the colossi are and how insignificant by comparison your own character is. It's the type of game that makes you wish it didn't end or if it did end it had a Hard mode so you'd have a good reason to replay it, *ahermmrm*, right after. . .(?)

It's really just his right arm held up to a mirror. Neat trick, tho.

Simple explanation is there is something in the water that reacts with the aluminum foil... such as bromine or sodium chloride....not sure what though.
All just a neat trick...

In the previous video of another and it wasn't shooting stuff in all directions. I wouldn't be surprised if it were just a demo to show that they could make their floating death machine still fly properly while shooting in all directions, which is a pretty neat trick really.

A neat trick but not at all secure.


Yeah, but it's good enough to keep most teenagers' parents from snooping around on their computer and finding their porn stash, as the tags suggest.

Neat trick but *lies all the same

> I guess it would be rude to mention that Ehrich Weiss was doing this back around 1910.

not at all.
lots of people know it was one of houdini's favorite feats.

whether suspended from a height, in a water tank, or locked in the trunk of a Pinto.
it's still a pretty neat trick, wherever you do it, right?

and it was fun hearing Burgess Meredith's voice again.

Yeah, this wouldn't hurt my photos either as I use flash as little as humanly possible (natural light almost always looks better).

But neat trick... neat.

And it's not like he's 'ruining' anyone's photos, you can still read the original sign, you can still see everything else, it just has an overlay now.
