Russian artists from Moscow presented in London the totally useless but somehow cool device – goggles that you can put on and feel yourself like a robot from a Terminator movie or like somebody else from “the cyberspace”. See the video below:

Гибсон. Виртуальный Свет.
It’s like a magic mushroom’s trip XD.
This in combination with mushrooms –> ultimate weirdness
COOL!!! Cibernetic drugs are becoming real!
Syd Barrett should have got these goggles instead of the frequent acid trips that took his toll.
Genius invention! No more pills for me
“The goggles do nothing!”
I think is like Robocop or Terminator
Смотри Дом-2, не отвлекайся.
Wow, i never even thought that ASCII is pronouced “askee.” Never had to use that in real word though.
I’ve never known it to be pronounced any other way. How else would you say it?
A-S-C-2
ASCII stands for “American Standard Code for Information Interchange”. Always has.
A-S-C-two? That’s crazy. I’ve always heard it pronounced “askee”.
How do you pronounce SCSI?
It’s pronounced “scuzzy”; and ASCII is pronounced “ask-ee”.
I wonder if it would be very difficult to build a stereoscopic version of the goggles. Would it require a second processor, or would the single processor handle both image streams?
Perhaps the effect filters may also be able to receive audio input from a microphone, or perhaps input from a music device such as an MP3 player. This might do things like shifting color pallets according to the audio frequencies in the environment.
Also, beginning users may find it easier on the eyes to mix the real image with the effected image, to become accustomed to the effects.
I was just thinking that. They ought to be looking at stereoscopic for the next step.
nice goggles, but surely 5 years too late?
btw:
ASCII a silly question, get a silly ANSI

I saw this on the Russian site and my first thought after viewing the video was … Gee wouldn’t it be great if they also had a set of distorting earphones… Maybe some form of phase shifting .. Just a couple of mics, a $40 phase shifter from Guitar center and a set of headphones…. HEEEELLLLLLOOOOOO 60′s ….jegan
lol – i’m so glad i learned russian so i could appreciate little quotes like that!! ti voobshe ramsi poputal
j’en veux un!
I *WANT* a pair!
When/where can I get one, LOL.
Add earbuds and you can experiment with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
P.s. The ASCII filter should add the streaking top-bottom brighter Katakana letters ala Matrix, the movie..

HasciiCam makes it possible to have live ascii video on the web. It captures video from a tv card and renders it into ascii letters, formatting the output into an html page with a refresh tag, or in a live ascii window, or in a simple text file. It gives the possiblity to anybody that has a bttv card, a unix box and a cheap modem line to show live (h)ascii video can be viewed without any need for extra applications, plugins, java etc.

Whoever called this device “totally useless” needs a little lesson on how great things are developed.
Great! I guess these should be available for market.. At least i would buy a set of these!
OMG!!! He looks like Jebus!
wow, my anti-spam word is Vodka! Ruskies rock.
Anyway, I can easily see a device like this being a huge help for people with Macular Degeneration, or to help deal with the sensory overload problems people with Autism have.
russians ftw!
?? Weird…
All I see is Blonde, Brunette, Redhead…
it’s like a trip without the drugs!!
How soon before someone develops a “happy product” filter as in Mark Osborne’s “More” video:

plug
(purchase at http://www.despair.com)
/plug
Now they just have to do realtime cel-shading or vector art and thats win
So, what do you get while viewing the ASCII-mation “Star Wars” thru these goggles set to ASCII mode? Does it turn the ASCII-mation back into live action? That would be a novel creation, indeed…
In Soviet Russia, reality alters YOU
That is most excellent. Can you please invent a filter that will make ugly people more pleasant to look upon?
cool gizmo!
He pronounces it as “Askey”, while others pronounce it as “Aschee” (as in “cheese”).
Awesome work guys… greetings from Santiago, Chile
очень хорошо
Take a trip and never leave the farm.
sweet! fantastic… many more things can b done, its a good step
PERO ESTO ES UNA MIERDA MA Q COOL NI COOL, PARA Q JORACA KIERO ALGO DE ESTO YO… :S
BUEH TAN AL PEDO EH!!!
nice one!
i would be interested in stereoscopic version
with camera lences very far apart
That film’s not from London, but Manchester – in the Museum of Science and Industry.
if they could just make it smart enough so it applies image retouching instead of the filters.. everyone would look like a supermodel.
WOW !!!! That is Sooooooooooo Cooooool !!!
I look forward to buying one when/if you sell them !!
Shamon !!
I think this is fantastic! Just goes to show a very artistic innovation of what can be done with visual electronics. I agree this may have applications for the visually impaired also. Either way, Terminator Vision is cool.
Does this guy have a webpage? I can’t seem to find one. thx
lol alex.
http://effectv.sourceforge.net/
To far of the cyberspace!
Now, if they’d add “x-ray vision”, I’d send Alexei and Aristarkh all the Rubles I’ve been saving up for Svetlana the mail-order bride since 2001.
Svaka cast braco rusi!
i want one.
WHOA my anti spamword was comrade :p very russian
Why the hell has this got one camera? Not been able to see the world in 3D is kinda not what virtual reality is all about.
Is there version that have 2 cameras to process it to stereo image? (will have 2 separate displays for each eye)
If the processor can handle 2x more processing for that. Just imagine 3D processed funky image! Must be exciting.
IT is not as silly as you suggest. You can add targets, distance measures anything.
Think how a cop could use it at dark, chasing some guy in a dark alley or a sniper…

1830 warehouse… Woah, this was filmed at the Manchester Museum for Science and Industry, near me.
Cool!
he invented a kids toy, that will get the company sued when a kid crosses the road, can judge distance and gets smacked by an 18 wheel rig going at 65 mph
Very impressive, especially the ASCII render! +1 for the Russian nerds
And ROFL, the anti-spam word was “soviet” XP
It’s called a “visual filter” as described in (Chapter 2 of the wearable computing textbook, http://wearcam.org/textbook.htm).
Various visual filters, including ASCII art as well as a wearable face-recognizer that superimposes names on recognized faces have been already demonstrated in the mediated reality community more than 10 years ago, so I’m not sure what’s new about the embodiment shown here.
“Reality Processed”
That’s a phrase that should go down in history.
This would be good for superhuman vision.
You could make it so it would have headphones so you could translate what people are saying into different languages.
