Comparison of a city and supermarket = no difference

Google Tech Talks December 13, 2006 ABSTRACT For 3D global visualization systems, it is important to be able to render city-sized collections of relatively simple building models at fast speeds without losing spatial coherence. Since traditional mesh simplification algorithms are not designed for collections of simple models, we introduce a method of simplification through merging of similar objects. We incorporate the concept of "urban legibility" from architecture and city-planning as a guideline for simplifying city models. Our algorithm can be broken down into five steps. Hierarchical clustering, cluster merging, polyline simplification, and hierarchical texturing are performed during...

A recently finished project experimenting legibility to Illegibility

http://www.MasterNewMedia.org Former Apple Macintosh chief evangelist Guy Former Apple Macintosh chief evangelist Guy Kawasaki, illustrates a simple to remember and truly effective mini-set of rules to conquer PowerPoint typical low-legibility, visual boredom and inability to augment the presentation being delivered.

A video from the Phoenix lander website which appears like it might have been put together with the gamer in mind. Unfortunately, the legibility of a lot of the data has been lost due to the reduction in resolution, I recommend you dl the original from the pheonix website- http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/videos.php

Basically, this is a montage composed of all thirteen members of Organization XIII. I tried to make it mildly humorous, so all of the songs I chose have an amusing connection to the member to which it's playing. My own boredom is really what inspired me to conceive this video. It isn't really that good, but if enough people like the general idea, I may make a better one (perhaps with actual video of the members). If you can't read the words...I'm sorry. I didn't really know how well the legibility would hold up during the transition from a large screen to a small one. *UPDATE* Due to the suggestion of DuoMonkey, I've decided to print the most illegible text here (I'll assume you can all read the text right beside the names): Xaldin -- LMAO! Pwned by a girl! What a wuss! How is it that this guy is so damn tough? Lexaeus -- ZOMG! I USE ROCKS! LOLZ! Saïx -- Did I miss something? When the hell did "moon" become an element?! Luxord -- Isn't he a little old to playing with cards. Anyway, I apologize for the previous wall of text, and enjoy! :)

DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Corporation unveiled a new LCD display technology at the Inter BEE 2007 exhibition. The maker's OCB LCD display technology features fast response time and greatly improves display panel quality for movies by reducing blurriness to produce sharp, high quality images. Toshiba Matsushita's OCB LCD panel features the world's fastest movie response speed. This ultra fast response speed of 2.9ms enables the panel to achieve high screen legibility when displaying high-speed movement imagery. In addition, the new OCB LCD panel features a world top class wide viewing angle of 176 degrees, and a contrast ratio of 1 million to 1. OCB technology solves the response speed problem when LCD displays are operating under low temperature conditions. This new display technology can even achieve the response speed level of previous LCD displays operating at a room temperature of -20ºC! This is great news with respect to in-vehicle displays because the fast response speed of the OCB display panel ensures smooth video display even right after starting the engine in the winter.

I figure, it's been a week, haven't made any Star Fox 64 improvements, and with my accidental uninstalling of CamStudio, I can't record new Mario World levels right now. I've been a little busy with other things recently, I've taken up Chocobo Raising in Final Fantasy 11, I'm a leader in a very active SuperGroup in City of Heroes, and I bought Command and Conquer: The First Decade the other day, so i've been playing my hands off in Red Alert. Busy stuff. Anyway, not to neglect my YouTube account, I have another playthrough of a Star Fox Assault stage, the second of the three rail stages (third being the Aparoid Homeworld Core, stage 10). This video is so much better quality than the Fortuna video, in terms of sound, quality, lighting, legibility (you can read everything now), and play ability. It earns a fairly high 3789 points for the run, but it's about 120 points shy of my personal best, a record I had set in a run just prior to this. I was filming that run, but it turns out my cord caught the cable of my Eyetoy camera, pushing it off alignment without me realizing it.

New Title for some new metal! Greetings true believers, I'm back again for another round of face punching beautifully brutal metal. If you are unfamiliar with the medleys feel free to check out my profile. These videos are to give virgin fans of metal a good sampling of what the sub-genres have to offer. If you are a hardcore experienced fan of metal music, this isn't for you. If you just want to see someones personal taste in Metal than stick around. More new music from my collection and some representative classics thrown in. More new bands and more new albums. 15-30 second clips from each artist in alphabetical order. Each clip is my personal favorite part. Album covers included with each clip. The artist and song listing is now back at the end of each part for legibility concerns. Requests taken from previous comments as well! From death to doom, I tried to include it all. Again stay tuned and look for parts 2-3! IF YOU AREN'T A FAN OF DEATH METAL VOCALS SUCH AS GUTTURAL SCREAMS, GROWLS AND YELLS, DON'T TORTURE YOURSELF BY LISTENING. THE SAME GOES FOR CLEAN/SUNG VOCALS FOR ALL YOU PURISTS OUT THERE. THIS ISN'T A LESSON IN METAL HISTORY, IT'S AN INTRODUCTION TO TODAYS METAL. For the list of Artists and songs check the ending credits or e-mail me at "hoboalliance@hotmail.com" I would also like to hear any feedback or comments you may have.

On April 17, 1999 this march and rally occured in San Francisco to protest Clinton's bombing barrage against Yugoslavia. This movie was shot with the Sony TRV 900 3-Chip camera that was image quality 'state of art' at that time for a mini DV format image. Notice the extreme legibility of the smaller signs in background, signs normally unreadable are now very clear with this 3-chip precision.

This is a video I made for the PF Champion, a font I felt in love with since the very first time my good friend Panos showed it to me. Music: L.V.Beethoven, Moonlight Sonata -------------------------------- From the Parachute site: PF CHAMPION SCRIPT PRO Copyright ©2007 Designer: Panos Vassilíou PF Champion Script Pro is the most advanced and powerful script ever made. This typeface was first presented in June 2007 at the 3rd International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication (ICTVC) and was met with rave reviews. It is based on the manuscripts of one of the great writing masters of the 18th century Joseph Champion. There are many reasons that make PF Champion Script Pro so unique. Each one of the 2 weights is loaded with the amazing number of 4265 glyphs(!), offering simultaneous support for all European languages based on the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts. Furthermore, a wide selection of alternate forms and ligatures is included for all languages, in order to accommodate diverse design aesthetics. These alternates are either applied automatically through an advanced programming scheme, or manually through several opentype features. An attempt was made to design a contemporary script typeface with classic roots, by following certain guidelines, i.e. lowercase characters were completely redesigned so they are less inclined, have a higher x-height and are less condensed than the original. Some characters were stripped-off their connecting lines in order to enhance legibility. A plethora of ornaments and frames (117) was included. All characters were carefully designed with the proper weight in order to sustain harsh printing conditions. Finally it was carefully and painstakingly programmed to preserve handwriting qualities. http://www.parachute.gr

E-mails have been circulating about how Obama will increase taxes and John McCain will lower them. This video debunks that myth. It shows that Obama will lower taxes on all but the rich. McCain will give the rich people a tax break. With the serious financial crisis looming, brought on by all those fat cats, do we want to give them more breaks? If you vote for McCain you are voting to help the rich! Sorry the e-mail's legibility didn't come out too well.

http://movie.diginfo.tv DigInfo News Described by Suzuki as "the epitome of functional dependability and fun", the X-Head concept vehicle features an exaggerated, yet functional, chunky, toy-like, design. "The X from the name X-HEAD stands for cross-utility, so, it's a combination of two different functions and is meant to express a new style of car." The exterior features side and rear storage areas, with panels that drop down and can function as a bench. The X-Head also features full-time four-wheel drive, ladder frame construction, a live rear axle, a limited-slip differential, a mid-mounted, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed, twin-clutch automatic transmission. "This car combines the running performance of the Escudo and Jimni, with the load capacity of the Carry. We have unified the principals of these three models with the Suzuki design philosophy and made a new and interesting vehicle." The load-bed is also configurable with Suzuki detailing three possible examples, on was the Fashion, for urban driving, the Camper, which has sleeping space for two adults and a Rescue unit for emergency services and rescue organizations. Regarding the cars interior, we have fused industrial with personal, analogue with digital, creating a completely new style. Particularly the information panels in the interior are simple in design with a simple shape, and the overhead console displays the simple analogue style. The dash features a wide monitor information system with high-legibility meters and the door light can also be taken off and used as a flashlight or a hammer in emergency situations.

This video demonstrates a problem with legibility when creating screen recordings. The zoom tool was used in Camtasia when editing the movie to magnify areas of the screen.
