0373 91 Tomorrow's World 1992 

Fewer channels and better quality.

Sarah Louise it got adopted by the 3D gaming community where perception of distance is more important for interaction. I really cannot see it cutting the mustard at a Ingma Bergman art film festival though!

I can't see 3D at all, so no difference either way... Still a great programme.

@@laxeystu8096 How do you mean please?

@@paulanderson79 My eyes don't see a 3D image giving the 'depth perception' (ie in stereo). I think most people see two images which the brain combines to give the 3D effect.

@@laxeystu8096 Thank you. Is that a neurological condition of sorts? I ask because my wife suffers from complex focal epilepsy and we're finding some perceptions of things in space can trigger seizures. Repetitive high contrast patterns and converging parallel lines, for example.

too fuckin right, I don't ever remember watching this when I was wee but... these guys should be hailed as psychics most of the time, they don't usually promote product brands, just technology and they explain it in depth without it ever feeling boring! I'm gonna go out of my way to watch every episode from 1965 just to see how ahead of their time they were!

also.. half the time you could be sure they invented the gopro! haha

American brands demand to be mentioned, and the BBC does not allow product placement, and rightly so, because we pay for it not them.

now in the future times all you get is apple fanboying. we fucked up

this isn't interesting either.

Welcome to the future!

LoL

I was a fan through pre teen to teen. I loved every episode which was made even better by the fact most of it was filmed live lol.

My Apple M1 is 16 times faster than that

Din't need ABS, airbags or traction control in dem days. We just learnt not to crash.

“No proper home computers”? What are you talking about?

And hardly any fat fuckers walking around neither

Oh we had proper home computers, had had them for a while infact. Laptops too. Just that year saw major games like Monkey Island 2, Lemmings, Civilisation, Duke Nukem, EoB2 and a couple of the Commander Keens for the PC Edit: I got the year wrong, those were games from 1991, 1992 saw the birth of the FPS with Wolfenstein 3D as well as Ultima Underworld, Dune 2, Zool, Caeser and others.

@@Ben_Dover753 Hi ABS wasn't mainstream nor were home computers. I mean modern home computers on which you could do film editing - spreadsheets etc. They existed but we're prohibitively expensive for average households

And what about the emergence of affordable yet high quality VR? A clue there?

The iphone 6 manages 5 trillion operations per second. That's the equivalent of 5,000 of those supercomputers. The iphone 12 is double that again.

Crazy to think about!

... what presenter did you mean?

@@michael_mouse the car glass cutting tool,

About this time analogue mobile phones started appearing.

Probably because couldn’t pay human life yet,i feel sorry for those casualtys.

recorded "as live", but not broadcast live

lol@@MarkPentler

I am surprised after vr died for 15 years it had the same name lol

😀👍

I took the process class like what's the diffusion gradient when you're extruding ingots or something like that

I'm from Cheltenham myself

Both themes use sounds that were common in commercials and TV themes in the early and mid 1990s.

There were some tvs that did it actually. I saw them at the NAB show in 2015, but I'm not sure if they were released or not. Perhaps it wasn't something most people wanted, but it was pretty neat.

Do it then! 👍😂

But not holographic tv which was what they were going for here ultimately.

lol yeah because it was bad , I mean is not comfortable to use glasses and now we prefer "virtual reality" over that still a long way to go.

Jeff Jones she was indeed!

She's no Philippa Forrester but, yeah very cute!

baxtardboy I wonder what happened to Roger?

Yeah, I'm surprised that last shot of her from behind on the proto-rollerblades was allowed to go out before the watershed lol.

is katie the girl in green shirt

Well, presumably, if the 3D TV viewer needed to "go out for a piss," as you so eloquently put it, they would probably take their "stupid goggles" off before doing so, and hence avoid "falling over"? I suppose that didn't occur to you? Oh well, never mind! 😂😂😂

​@@marcse7en You are probably right that when adjourning to the privy for a leak one could pull the old goggles off and put them on the sofa to be sat upon on one's return. Or pop them somewhere else and promptly forget where it was. Anyway, my lack of eloquence aside, the real problem with 3D is that in the real world the focus point and convergence point are the same, but in the dogs' doings world of 3D TV the focus point is fixed at the screen and the convergence point moves fore and aft, leading to a confusion in the brain and a wish to throw the jolly annoying contraption out of the window if you're anything like me.

Cos it was boring shite.

I think it has to do with how color theory was taught in school for decades. In my experience, (1) little attention was paid to the difference between additive and subtractive mixing (2) little attention was paid to the difference between mixing paint and mixing light (3) it was taught that the primary colors (of paint) were red, blue, and yellow (4) no mention was made of the system in which the primary colors are red, blue, and green (as in television and digital photography) (5) when any mention was made of the primary colors used in ink printing, the magenta, yellow, and cyan were _called_ red, yellow, and blue, even though the magenta and cyan were obviously not the red and blue we were used to (6) colored glasses sold with 3-D kids' books sure seemed to have plain red and blue lenses, and the inks in the books, which may have been magenta and cyan, just looked like light red and light blue (7) it was taught that the complement of red was green (and that the two other complementary pairs were blue & orange and purple & yellow). In the light of all that, to me it's not surprising if a person, presented with cyan, told that it's a primary color, and told only such normal color names as red and blue and yellow and green (not such strange ones as magenta and cyan), ends up calling the cyan "blue" or "green". I think the choice between the two words would depend on the ratios of rod cells in his retinas or on his knowledge and experience (e.g., is he more acquainted with the names of primary colors in paint (RBY) or in television (RBG)?).

Stephen Dickinson LEDs are made with compounds like gallium arsenide and indium gallium nitride (and others, it depends on what colour you want to generate), not sure but I don't think they use silicon because the resulting light would be deep infrared. Interestingly the blue InGaN LEDs are being more widely used with phosphors that convert the blue light to a wider range of colours, so you can get white, pink and cyan LEDs for example.

lik at waaaaaaaa And a passing cop doesn't think to himself, "Nothing unusual about that windscreen with a hole in the middle..."

Green desk

I dont think thats something for us to buy... just the fire fighters...

It's called a Glass Master 😊

It only really works on a car screen because it's safety glass, a normal window would just shatter

Why waste time cutting the windscreen when you can just smash the passenger window and reach in?

They put a man on the moon with the power of a modern fire stick

Moore’s law is stalling. We’ve reached the smallest transistor size for silicon. There’s a 4nm process, but it’s not going to be doubling every 18 months from now on.

It was.

& next im going to ROGER URWIN, jingle jangle,now then,now then.

The 90s was chock full of bland forgettable themes like this. Why jungle drums? Silly. Not a patch on the 60/70s Dankworth theme, the 70s Brain or 80s Blue/White theme, all classics, all unforgettable.

IMO, this theme is the best theme out of all of them. Sorry.

There was another theme after this one in the mid 90s which was better…

You heard it backwards, I guess. Greater noise = more dirt = a compensating increase in power.

Haaaa😂 great comment, spat my coffee out

The windshield/windscreen is a sandwich of glass, plastic, and glass. The plastic is a flexible, elastic film. If you hit the windshield with a brick, you'll just end up with broken glass stuck to a brick-shaped dent in the plastic. You need a blade to cut through the plastic. It's like tearing a sheet off a roll of plastic wrap (cling film): if you try tearing with just your fingers, it stretches a lot before you get even a small hole in it; but, if you use the proper motion against the blade on the box, you cut right through. Windshields are made that way so that, if you slam into one, from the outside or the inside, although you may get a blunt-force injury, you won't get deep cuts from free shards of broken glass.

I'd completely forgotten it. Bland 90s crap. Were there any great theme tunes from this decade?

Wrong.

@@mpwheatley Friends, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Saved by the Bell, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, X-Files to name a few. But yeah, 80's was much better for themes.
