Father of all streamers

The mouse used two potentiometers to create the xy position on the screen. Impressive. I wonder when the two wheels were first replaced with a rolling ball that interacted with the two potentiometers?

1) Jesus the quality improvement is massive, carving out some time tomorrow to give the whole presentation a rewatch in this beautifully remastered version. 2) I can only hope Santa will please give me a nice professional version of this font. I adore the use of overscores to indicate uppercase letters.

[@elcapitan6605]

yes, those fonts are just wonderful

[@sarbuthnot00]

I had no idea this level of dynamic computer functionality existed in 1968.

[@davidbeszeda6894]

I was waiting for years to see this footage in remastered until now. Thanks.

[@Ribby00]

Absolutely legendary

[@bobd5119]

I want one of those piano-key gadgets.

[@galihprasetyo6214]

This video deserves trillion views

[@viarnay]

we couldn't watch the invention of the printing but Holly Molly we are watching this freaking miracle 😲😳

[@erikperin]

Miracle? I would leave Dr. Strange for jaw dropping.

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

I can see this evolving into something pretty useful. And equally scary. 😳

[@bobd5119]

Hyperlinks in 1968!

[@saxmaster45]

Visually much better but there's an annoying hiss in the audio.

[@rickyschultzusa]

Really innovative video mixes. To do those kind lap dissolves, layered superimpositons would take multiple cameras, a control room and switcher. So, you are showing the mouse placing where you want to edit. It looks like you are using a text editor, like vi to affect the editing of the text from specified points. The vector graphic example is impressive. How was the output of the files saved, and shared?

[@datashat]

What is this display? Is it a phosphorous vector monitor being shot with a TV camera with the image projected to the audience in negative? Or was it a halide salt "dark trace" vector monitor? Certainly doesn't look like a bitmap display since the lines at 15:40 are so smooth. It almost looks like teletype ink on paper. Absolutely amazing!

[@grossteilfahrer]

It's a negative shot of a tiny crt on a black and white oil trace tv projector.

I wonder how many people who watched this voted for George Wallace

[@jj74qformerlyjailbreak3]

I'd think Drugs would be the first or last stop after Work. 😂
