Description
a demo using an oscilloscope to display something.
- third in assembly 2007 shortfilm compo
- most original entry at assembly 2007
- scene.org awards nomination to most original concept, breakthrough performance and best animation.
IMO The effects used have been seen way too many times and the design isn't great: just some simple effects one after another and useless scroll text. I just didn't have better ideas or time to design it better!
Answers to many way too often asked questions:
The code runs on quite ordinary PC. The oscilloscope is connected to soundcard and is in X/Y-mode, with right channel connected to X and left to Y input. Z (brightness) input is not used.
Waveform: http://kapsi.fi/~jpa/stuff/other/youscope-wave.flac (flac) / http://mirror.kapsi.fi/koodaa.mine.nu/tvt/youscope-wave.wav (pcm wav) to see it on your oscilloscope. If you think it's fake, FIND SOMEONE WITH OSCILLOSCOPE AND TRY IT YOURSELF!
Most soundcards (and other players) seem to have a lowpass filter at about half of the samplerate, making some effects here look quite strange. The soundcard used in this video had quite low quality and didn't filter properly. It just happens to be suitable for these effects.

It's made with a C program I programmed myself. You probably don't want to read its messy quickly finished source code. I also know vector displays or showing pictures on oscilloscope isn't actually a new idea, I just wanted to try making something myself ;)
