LIDAR - A New Way to See! (...is someone there?) 

thats so interesting

Yes, the most funny thing that they see us like in lidar mod, so thats real-life horror for robots (if they had feelings and etc)

Well they always scan, not like once per two lifetimes of universe

Except it is way faster, constant, and consistent. It's essentially "real time". That, and most of the time the have LIDAR and normal camera sensors.

@Vladimir Novitski No. LiDAR projects infrared dots to detect the shape of the environment. Obviously your eyes do not do that, they just absorb light going into your retinas.

I really hope he plays that, seems like SUCH a cool idea

I remember watching gameplay of it years ago I absolutely love that game!

I really like that game, it has some cool vibes, and it's the best video game cave I've ever been in

Sadly if I remember correctly Scanner Sombre sold pretty poorly

its nto a horror game

So these entities have flesh but when they get touched by these light layers there whole existence gets erased? Idk just a idea of mine... since the shadows left behind remind me of silhouettes after a nuke went off and they get vaporized while leaving a imprint on the wall behind them...

@@surytrap hay, I said that's just a idea.

@@junkoenoshima6756 fair enough

oh god.. this comment left chills down my spine. now im imagining what the map would look like if the gun made textures...

That was my favorite part !!!!!!! I was in awe

Got goosebumps and I had to sit up in bed. 7/7 spooked

It scared the heck out of me too.

23:27 is when we can REALLY see he got scared lol 😂

DIIiiiiᶦᶦᶦᶦᶦᵉ

Im glad you mentioned the map was inverted, I thought I was going crazy for a second there

@@hyperventalated same. Was wondering why is seemed like the bridge was in the wrong place

I remember from a comment on another video about this that it actually just flips your view or something like that. Mirror-images it? What I know is that map isn’t being changed, but the player’s view is.

@@joshuahilliker2364 it's either the map being inverted, or the view of the player is, either way, the map appears inverted

The rendered image is mirrored and horizontal movement (CUserCmd sidemove and mouse) is essentially flipped. The mode does do some things to the map, but it's only npc and soundscape removal.

Genuine fear in his voice

Same!

Engineer gaming

Mad respect on you mate, I just learned something new that I never would have learned or even heard about outside of something like this. I tip my hat to you.

nice dragon pfp :3

Idk how much you know about this stuff, but I wanted to add to your explanation. On moving robots, that distance map is created by taking multiple scans, finding similar points within each scan, then stitching all of the scans together at those points. Usually velocity/acceleration data is also used to approximate the movement of the scanner between scans, which helps with the stitching process. What’s even cooler is you can then use that distance map, plus new scans of the environment and motion data, to allow the robot to figure out where it is within the distance map. This is how robots can figure out where they are in their environment and navigate autonomously. The distance map can also be updated using new scans to account for changes in the environment, like moving obstacles. This whole process is called “SLAM navigation” btw. Sorry if I’m getting into the weeds here, but I spent a year working with LiDAR and navigation algorithms to develop an autonomous vehicle, and I find this stuff super interesting. Also, most of the newer iPhones have a solid-state LiDAR array on both the front and back. If you have an iPhone with FaceID or the big camera array with the small grey circle in the corner, you can do this stuff with your phone

​@@guyguy463 That's so cool!!! I've spent the last year working on a research project where we developed and tested a new process to create, somewhat, synthetic data (synthetic point clouds + labels) to improve the quality of data used to train object detection models, for autonomous driving. This is a very interesting field of study, but god it is hard... data segmentation for point clouds (captured by LiDARs) is a HUUUUGE pain in the ass. At least I think that BOSCH is working on a new type of LiDAR that can help solve this, but until then, many people will have nightmares that look just like this game ahaha.

Look up vietnam and America's attempts at nightvision

@@johnroyal4054 Don't know what I am supposed to be looking for but ok.

@@AmericanIdiot7659 project stargaze is the name i think. Google has burried a lot of stuff on it. Basically army used infrared before the green vision you get now and quickly canceled it as many people reported seeing demons all around them.

@@johnroyal4054 What? Now that is interesting, i'll check it out thanks.

so that's why my roomba randomly moves as if something's in it's way

that honestly makes it scarier in a way

The machine refusing to remember the entity’s texture is dope and scary af

I thought it was just vaporizing the man

what if redguy was actually just. a regular ass guy wandering the area. and you're a robot with an error that makes it so you can't recognize flesh

I still remember the splashing sounds of someone following us in flooded caverns... That part nearly gave me a heart attack back in a day.

@@mistakesregretsandimperfec7740 I remembered that game aswell, and saw it was on sale a while back. Bought it, realised I could play it in VR... Regret

Hey hey, Game's called "Scanner Sombre", Go relive your nightmares.

Librarian should totally play it in vr. I haven't played it since it came out so it would be really cool to se it in a new form.

Freakin' knew there was a game about this

Oh shit it's my favourite memer watching my favourite gmod youtuber

Holy fuck, kmlkmljkl! Didn't expect you to be here in the comment section.

Legend

And its actually scary

holy shit you are here too? you are an absolute legend.

Imagine Nextbot + LIDAR

If someone makes/made a version of this mod without the scary moments, then it’d be usable for that stuff

@@ScuttleBugReal theres a option to do that on the mod itself

@@lauraeidikoniene4749 oh sick!

cool

@@oxymoron02 It may be inspired by it, but not stolen.

@@perico17 its literally an exact copy. And from what i remember seeing the creator never even gave credit to scanner sombre.

did all your popcorn manage its way to your stomache or did some end up all around you?

It actually worked very well to spook someone,

Pretty late to the party but he tries it on his own map and realizes thais and points it out

The entity is just hanging around in its natural habitat and some losers show up shooting lasers everywhere including at him, ofc he's angry. LiDAR theory: WE are the bad guys.

@@kabardino1337 The official story of this mod is that your eyeballs have been replaced with a device that feeds your brain data from the scanner gun, treating blindness. The one you've been implanted with is unfinished and malfunctions as it displays things that aren't really there, AKA the entity. When it tries to save the material of this nonexistent entity, it freaks out and deletes the texture entirely. It's a series of strange events supposed to spook you I guess. I much prefer the theory that the red man is just a normal guy who thought you were the weird entity shining lasers everywhere and punched you in the face, breaking the device and resulting in all the weird glitches.

@@nts0n I thought the entity was a regular person and the machine tried to save the texture of the person then went "shit idfk" and decided to ignore it

@@nts0n the question now is why you were stuck in an empty area with some dude and couldn't just yell "Hey I'm blind please don't be annoyed by the lasers"

@@plasticballs they could be infrared lasers, invisible to humans.

23:27 "Redman 2"

Seems like the "Redman" shows up before the "loading screen" interesting

I’d like to say the red man is the trigger for the main creepy events on the map to take place, considering he is the first encounter before all the weird stuff happens

at 24:14, there's a faint shadow, so it isn't a glitch. he covers it up fairly quickly, but it's there.

I’m terrified to know what “stubborn shadow” means

i have ping in the lower 100s, it's not like that

I usually have ping that is over 100ms and I am fine

MY PING IS 110000 MS PLEASE HELP

Actually, the ping is supposed to show the distance between you and the creature. In real time.

@@joshuahilliker2364 like an actual radar or lidar ping then very cool

It tried to catalogue the redman's material but it failed and as such ignored him in future hence the shadow

So,it's a ghost?

Maybe it's referencing "Color Out of Space" or something? Looks really cool and absolutely terrifying though.

So it's an error texture or something?

its called the stalker im pretty sure

thinking about light retracting off of things to make a image makes me feel blind yet also not blind for some reason...

I remember reading that ancient Greeks thought that our eyes have thousands of invisible tentacles that grab everything around and that is the way we see, not sure if that's true but it's an interesting concept.

@@bruh7894 That sounds like its the origin of the phrase eye fondling

It's also how ray tracing works

@@DogsRNice Pretty sure raytracing works more like normal light, where there's a light source or sources that emit rays that bounce around and many of which land in the camera/eye, rather than the other way around which is what's being described as the childhood misconception.

Yeah that shit woulda gotten me so good, i woulda just been walking around trying to fully map out a map

I already knew about the entities and stuff when I first tried this mod, but it still scared the absolute shit out of me when the red figure appeared. Now THAT is effective horror.

@@VeeTHis Can you please tell me how to activate LIDAR? I have the mod but can't get it to work.

@@SpinoRexy733 bottom right of the loading screen, you can select the game mode.

@@SpinoRexy733 It's a game mode. Click the button in the bottom right of the main menu, and click "LIDAR" in the drop-down that pops up.

nah it teleports lol

@@linuskobal it's just a stalker. Their ai has no actual things they do, so they wander around basically constantly. As a result if you have no way of actively tracking them they cover a lot of distance despite not being very fast.

@@onlinepanic2036 You'd be correct if the gamemode didn't delay their next think way into the future, effectively doing nothing and standing still. The gamemode then constantly removes and respawns the stalker on random spawn locations using the navmesh when burst scanning is used, effectively teleporting. This code is found in the lidarscanner swep.

Ever play Scanner Sombre?

@@jackrip6495 No, But i will have to look into it

@2BDamned Well i know what i gotta download then

@2BDamned WELL AFTER A MIN ON THE MAP WITH THE GAMEMODE YES YES IT IS

@2BDamned gm_krot would be worse since the map itself is unnerving, so taking away the ability to see normally would make it worse

I’m confused why it’s a shadow wouldn’t the dots just project onto the man? Or does the LiDAR just glitch out and not project because it’s a mysterious entity ?

@@HillBilly_Urbex The first time you scan the entity, it's initially red. The gun you use tries to save this material but fails so it just ignores the texture all together which is why all you see is the outline of where the entity was stood. Technically there's always dots on the entity when you scan it, you just can't see them because there's no texture for it.

@@CannedPsycho- oh thank you :D

And that only makes it scarier when you shoot your focused beam at it and it stays there. Like at 16:39

after playing around with it a bit I think its actually just that it only spawns the stalker in after a certain number of sweep scans, around 20 something. If you turn off blindness even if you look directly at it it doesn't trigger the cutscene and the stalker just disappears after a minute or so. I wonder why. I kept trying to find out how it spawned it in, whether it was there and walking around but I guess they're just spawning in the model since it doesn't move or animate.

Players get captured as red dots until the error happens, afterwards they cast shadows too.

unfortunetly no

@@billybobjoephilcorncobtiptopge Damn, just a display thing. It would've been cool if the ping was an indication of distance.

A mod that you can play AND learn some stuff about how vision works (to an extent alteast) While also serving as a good prank to a teacher when they just are wandering around living the "blind man" experience only to get jumpscared...

I think we might eventually get an actual survival horror element to this, where the shadows hunt us, and you’d need to use the scanner to catch them before they get you.

What does control c do

@@dimitriousdrake it removes the darkness for some reason. You see the map in normal way but you can still scan stuff.

@@hanke9595 it's because in Linux ctrl+c stops execution of command.

@@shawermus oh right. Спасибо, что напомнили)

I thought Tesla didn't use LiDAR. Elon has said publicly that he doesn't think LiDAR is the right type of sensor for a car. Whether he's right is another matter entirely. I think Tesla mainly use ultrasonic & radar sensors along with a lot of cameras in their cars. But I could be mistaken. Though it is true that several other companies have been using LiDAR as part of their self-driving sensor suite

Imagine your a tesla car and you're driving then you see some weird red guy

@@mrchoochooguy4045 hehe funny red guy- wait where is he?

@@mrchoochooguy4045 Did you see the video of a person in a tesla and the tesla map thing showed people around him but he was actually alone on the road? Yeah. LiDAR shit.

There is no evidence the entity is malicious

Halo CE mods? Didn't know CE even had mods... apart from changing the values of gun dmg and jump gravity through the files...

@@junkoenoshima6756 RIP. Imagine never playing Hugeass with the flyable Longsword or Coldsnap with the big mecha. Tiamat strongest mapmaker.

@@SecuR0M ever heard of inferno plus? Funny guy. Makes funny things.

There was a community dedicated to modding the mac version of the DEMO back in the day. I mostly just added new maps. One of them used a lot of light bridges of different colors that got a neon vibe that LIDAR reminded me of.

Imagine if it's ping goes to like 0 or 1 It goes from being so laggy it can't move properly to instant reaction times

How pleasant

@@joshualeahy2162 Haha oh yeah... Even though it is already programmed to have sound effects that play randomly, It should have distant footsteps and faint whispers to really get that spooky feeling. Now THAT would make me nope real quick.

@@xbox2801 Oh my.. hehe now that would be scary! Same that'd make me jump out my seat. I'd love that, would make a fine addition. I like how you think. 😌

@@joshualeahy2162 It's even more terrifying that this is something some people deal with almost everyday. What I mean is Ghosts. You should check out either "Ghosts of Carmel Maine" or "DinoNuggets741" on RU-vid. These two alone have probably the most compelling ghost videos out there. Dino is more "short, sweet, and to the point" and its that idea that you are asleep and you hear loud banging, whispering in the ear, and feeling something bump your bed in total darkness at your most vulnerable 😨😭

not really

@@edenkeeping2298 k, good contribution, keep it up.

Tell me, would you prefer a non-processed, non-interpreted echo of what was?

@@remobothic ...uh no, why would I? That makes no sense.

@@NicholasBrakespear Neither did that thing you posted. Besides having total positional knowledge of every atom and q-fluctuation around you simultaneously with no travel speed or data-processing interval, I.E. having the depth-of-knowledge of God, there is literally no way to actually attain "seeing what's there, right now" by the standard you set. The sights and sounds your mind sees are as real as it gets- there is no threat a human being could reasonably encounter for which that so-called 'blindness and deafness' would have any meaningful effect on us.

Same, my eyes bugged out. I didn't even know it could stay like that.

yeah that's what I thought, like that one game markiplier plays when there's that big blind rat

Can you play in multiplayer?

if your gmod bricked try unsubscribing from your most recently subscribed addons

The first time it went wrong was gold tbh A terminal screen appeared, like something was wrong, then the shape appeared, and scares me. And then stayed there one moment. For some time I was scared to scan, but then I realized. I'm actually really surprised that that was Gmod
