ASCII Vimeo: Stream Videos The Way Neo Sees Them
Posted by warmchip on Tuesday, Feb 02, 2010
If watching online videos is growing too boring or too old school or too graphic-rich, dial back to the way Wargames-era Matthew Broderick would have streamed his LOLcats. ASCIImeo, a personal project of Peter Nitsch that renders Vimeo videos in different textmodes. To get a taste of the way we may all be looking at the world someday, see this, or this. And read about how it’s done here.
But whatever you do, DO NOT watch this pixel-bleeding Chairlift video on this, or your eyes might start bleeding 1s and 0s too, and we simply can’t be responsible for that.
