Anyone likes to hack a new demo?

[Irgendwer]

What about some "easy" char animation producing this effect:

 

 

?

[Rybags]

Pretty cool, though I wonder if it'll work as well with sharp edges. Though we can easily do out of focus effects with the right adjacent colours not to mention RF video gives you shitty focus for free.

Resolution will be too low.

Btw: It's called "illusion" , but it is none. The black and white lines were aligned "off" , to have the shifted optical effect. The black and white lines were shifted for real. It's just the first moment that makes the eyes awaiting some additional movement.

I think this is such an important finding that you should inform the "Neural Correlate Society" necessarily about honouring the wrong entry with the first prize!

It wouldn't be the first time they've been either incorrect, mislabeled something, or didn't describe what they were doing correctly..

 

emkay is correct to a degree...

 

the illusions are only truly on some of the examples.... on others it is an effect.... depending on the persons understanding and acuity.

 

while watching I clearly saw a difference between those perceptions.

 

True illusions take advantage of the optical interpreter of the brain and forces it to filter input incorrectly...

 

for example disappearing items arise in the primary visual cortex, the part of the brain that processes information about static and moving objects.

 

so a blinking dot in the center of a screen surrounded by static or non blinking dots usually equally spaced from that center dot will cause the static non blinking dots to disappear / fade in and fade out while you are staring at that central dot....

 

that is an illusion..... and very effective

 

that being said I still would love to see more demos using all of these technics....

Naturally I cannot judge what you see, but my perception cheats me while i get the impression that the "Gabor-Elements" are moving - which they don't, they only drift.

So putting colour-cycling elements in a bigger context let them appear to move. I don't know what your term is for that, I call that an illusion...

 

Edit: Hint: Pause the video several times and examine how your perception "corrects" itself...

Its a nice 'effect' with I presume colour cycling in some form on the static items, would look nice on the Atari but I can imagine it would be done to overkill.

 

Also, I don't want to damage my eyesight any more than it is already, what with those cross eyed 3D old poster craze from years ago I'm stunned I don't look like Marty Feldman these days...

Got it in one..

il·lu·sion

iˈlo͞oZHən/

noun

a thing that is or is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses.

It qualifies in my book.

And back to the topic, I think it would make a cool demo, most likely doable in GTIA 16 shade mode?

[+CharlieChaplin]

Well,

 

it is just an illusion:

 

Maybe someone can create the demo above for the A8 and emkay can re-create this song as a Pokey soundtrack ?
