what is this type of CRT called? it's not drawing using scanlines, is it a vector display?
>>55087303
Vector display with a special stencil inside for masking out letters and digits. (The electron beam can optionally be guided through the correct character on the stencil before being sent to the screen.)

It looks awesome

lol i had the webm looping and it hit that frame at the exact moment i viewed this
>>55087303
Wow, I didn't know these are actual displays. I've seen many in various (older) movies, thought it was just to make it look better or something.

>>55087303
it's just a CRT.
>>55087303
It's a technology called "outrun" and it was invented by a hacker who only goes by "Kavinsky".

nigga shut the fucc up with your lame ass bullshit
>>55087303
Anyone know a good way to rice their terminal emulator to do that sexy draw-order shenanigans?
>>55091202
succ
>>55091633
You know that this is a slow motion video right
nobody would actually want to look at that shit

It's not slow motion.

Says you
>>55092052
>nobody would actually want to look at that shit
so you rather draw those graphs and charts by hand instead?

Someone pls

Best Tektronix video I've seen.
I want one. It does 4096x4096 resolution. If only it were a bit faster...
>>55096233
Whoops, wrong video.
Try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IztxeoHhoyM

By your command.

1) I'm in love
2) If the phosphor holds for that long, how can it suddely erase specific parts?
Here's a physics simulation taken frame-by-frame.
>>55091928
succ my dicc ya faggot
>>55096758
wait was this done with that era's computers? it's pretty impressive.
>>55094323
its like a carpenter movie

>Can litterally hear the mouth breathing

Fatty needs to lose some weight, he's out of breath from merely typing
>>55096758
how long ago was this made? looks pretty cool desu
>>55096799
wireframe sims like that aren't really difficult for a '70s mainframe or a supermini
>>55097840
Yeah but the physics are hard unless they way oversimplified them with analytical math, which I guess is the case.
>>55097401
this
This is so cool, it should be a computer screen on some 70s sci fi space ship.

Did some research and found nothing. Looks like it might not exist yet, anon :(
>>55098903
The Tektronix 4014 is supposedly one of the terminals xterm emulates. Not sure how well it works, though.
I'm in love, it's like something out of a 70's/80's movie. I'd kill for a graphing calculator that used a display like this.
>>55087303
mean green flashin machine
>>55096544
Fuck, just go read in wikipedia, probably has more than one electron gun? It's not even hard to guess.
Man, all those 16 year old faggots being surprised that there was computing before the pentium.
Priceless.
>>55088642
hawt
>>55097401
Hes just really excited...
>>55101828
>probably has more than one electron gun? It's not even hard to guess.
lol that's hillariously wrong for many reasons
I rewatched the video and I was wrong, not because of some impossible technology but because the images are always completely erased.
>>55101860
Dude I'm 24 and besides the exposure to my dad's old Atari and an Uncle's "portable" computer (A Kaypro) these things are hard to come by.
Unless you're 60, you're just a stupid underage kid with the "90's kid" syndrome.
How many people here do you think have worked with vector displays? How old do you think the userbase is?

that's really interesting.
>>55087303
bump cause I'm living and I want this alive when I return. LIterally the only good post on /g/ for the past month.
>>55102351
Not talking about you and vector displays, I'm talking about people being surprised computers where useful before they think they where.
>>55097900
even that isn't really computationally expensive, physics isn't hard, it just gets hairy as shit when you're doing it a ton of it at once
that model probably isn't more than a hundred polygons, probably not even fifty, pretty easy crunching for a typical system of the time that would have been doing those kinds of simulations
>>55097900
You could run anything even on a 29000 transistor machine, just not in real time pleb.
>>55096233
I had to turn the volume down. I couldn't handle listening to this fat piece of shit wheeze like he was going to pass out at any moment. He was literally out of breath from typing on a keyboard.
