Peruvian Whistling Vessels are weird 

Thank you! This video is so cool

@@khalilahd. c0g

Amazing video thank you

Hey steve, just want to say stereograms are cool and all, but whats even cooler are youtube's 3d features and actually seeing the model in VR/AR. If you havent played with a VR headset yet but love 3D like I do, you're definitely missing out!!

Wow i love the stereogram Problem is I watched that clip for 10 minutes on repeat and need time to reset my vision 😂

Kids listening to the story: "HERE IT COMES!! THE PART WHEN THE PROTAGONIST SNORES!! " "YEAH YEAH THE SNORING PART!!! "

It really does! I couldn't figure out how it sounded like a person until I read your comment, and then it was obvious.

That was exactly my thought too

It's a person whistling :3 Although I guess someone who doesn't blow much air xD

@@kakyoindonut3213 there's plenty of stories which involve characters falling asleep, there's no need to be sarcastic lmao

Just like Surgeons in any Hospital...

Exactly. Seems bizarre to me. Could have found another way to make a 3D transparent whistle.

@@Eidolon1andOnly The problem was the 2D version not having enough volume to replicate the required force to produce the whistle. He could've just extruded it and made the 2D version thicker, still flat and "2D" but wider

Why does it need to be '2d'? Could have just made the transparent version thicker and still see just as well through it.

Making things transparent and watertight in 3D is MUCH harder than making them in 2D.

By hand

@@melodycaroline4520 still. people want to see the skeleton of the whistling vessel.

And the magic GLUE comes in and save the day ... and the whistle !

Lol

@@Taleton yeah because of a work of art that's been cut in half and glued back together is good as new right? lol

I'm also peruvian and I agree with you.

How intelligent they were , interesting

I am peruvian... PERO HABLA EN ESPAÑOL PE CAUSA xd

@@panpollo3383 he wants that the creator can read his comment, so he write his comment in english.

Are you a real peruvian or mixed as hell

being able to view it as a stereogram made me feel like a superhero ❤

Try making the real one

how'd it go?

This is why I'm unsub and dislike the vid. He was stupid, X ray give him info and if you need bigger volume, then make a fucking cube 😒. It's handmade and probably a couple years old. I know that no one asked

do you?

That's pretty damn impressive.

pft. we have made pottery for like 10000 years

Wondering how they made it.

@@ameyabulakh3394 I mean it's fairly simple in principle, if you know how whistles work and know how water tension works then this is an easy concept to come up with, it's just combining those things to produce something really clever.

@@aurelia8028 Pottery that convincingly mimics bird song though? Modern bird whistles weren't invented until around the 17th century. We've had wind whistles since the Ancient Egyptians, but a water whistle that convincingly sounds like a bird?

Do you post them anywhere? Id love to see

I just learned to make a clay ocarina it was so fun

Oh shoot! Do you have a link to your stuff that you makes?

Hahahahahaha smart man

I would love to see a 3D CAD model of one for 3D printing.

A friend of mine told me to look it up and I did....but unfortunately at 3 AM. I was horrified for a week lol

Yes

Oh I definitely wanna see that

I 3d printed one, it is terrifying. They also make ones that sound like a jaguar and it is very convincing, artisans sell them in Mexico City.

@Sabizos what do you mean?

You can still put it on a display, but you have only one side xD

You can display both sides at once now.

@@benwisey So, he actually made it better...?

Perhaps Steve should see if someone could 3D-print things like these & although they may not be completely clear to see-through, even if they're semi-transparent you should be able to see any dark liquid inside them!

@@stevie-ray2020 I've seen some 3D prints from sanded resin turn out really clear, but obviously takes a lot more work and effort for nice transparency.

SAME. I JUST NOW TRIED IT

@@stevenlynch3456 Really? I don’t understand but I really want to be able to whistle!😢

I still don't understand how...

@@hashfordalulz @W4iteFlame 7:04 You create the same geometry with your lower lip and lower teeth, and the air that you breathe will go into the gap and also over your lower teeth and "interrupt", making a whistling sound

I find that quite impressing too!

Probably thousands of years of pottery makers just trying different shit until they landed on a design that yields something interesting, like this one.

like low-key it kinda looks like someone was making 2 teapots stuck together

Stirrup vessels are another type of interesting vessel from the region that could have been a place where acoustic properties of multi-chambered vessels was discovered. They are also highly unique and interesting in their own right definitely worth looking up

Could have been much the same way as many fascinating inventions came to be. Quite by accident.

Well he isn't smashing it

Because the X-ray image wasn’t helpful for Making the 2d version

Como se chama esse objeto?

And paying them to make things fair.

@@MrTachyon actually one of those vessels sells for 90$ on online websites, that's around 350 soles which is almost a third of the minimum wage in Peru. That's pretty good businesss right there

@@HugsmadeDrugs Ah yes, the classic "exploitation is justified because its screwing them slightly less than their wrecked economies already do" mindset

@@HugsmadeDrugs ..The people reselling them get rich but the people who make them don’t get their fair share.

@@MrTachyon who do you know they aren't selliing themselves, i know plenty of artisans who sell online outside Peru because this kind of crafts are very sought after outside the country

@@misteryA555 When you accidentally loaded up Legendary mode, and you're the rest of the Goettge Patrol

@@misteryA555 so dark, why am I laughing? 🤣

Creepy pastas are getting _rough_ 😳

Read as "There is no escape, only drugs." Immediately made me think of my early 20's.

As a guy that fixes various Xray stuff in the medical field I do many many 3D scans before I sign the equipment off to be used on people again. If you know a guy that does the same stuff I'm sure they would gladly take in whatever you want scanned to use as a phantom to prove accuracy of a system. That's what I do at least.

That would be pretty cool.

Says the person who's had how many X-ray machines?

Do they happen to have a CAT scanner?

That is literally why they're called "spirit" levels. You use "spirits" inside.

Bit of washing liquid.

Try mineral spirits. It flows so easily that a folded paper towel or rag like you would for other water-like chemicals just doesn't stop it.

@@eideticex But it would get dirty i think. And cleaning that seams very difficult.

@@tissuepaper9962 even just adding a small drop of dish detergent to the water will break the surface tension.

I can look at stereograma both ways and in this case, both work. But it makes the model turn the other way around.

@@adrigax Yeah, if I relax my eyes to unalign them positively, I can sometimes get very brief convergence locks, but my bad eye tends to start drifting up and to the right, which ruins the alignment very quickly. I can get them to lock in vergence much better if I go cross-eyed, though - and the accommodation (focus) is better, maybe because I'm near-sighted in my bad eye.

Lol...I have amblyopia bilaterally, and there's really seldom any 3D for me. Crossing my eyes gives me two well separated images that do not mesh, and as for the staring off into space...well, no. Unusually though, both eyes have full function and while they can work together even whilst wandering (ex, I can watch the road and the rearview simultaneously), it's a conscious thing. And since using a smartphone, it makes typing accurately very difficult; the responsive bit for H, for instance, isn't quite where my finger thinks it is, so I get a lot of Js instead. Frustrating but fascinating!

@@RICDirector I've never really been sure if my effective depth perception and peripheral vision (enough to pass transient tests) are because I have partial correction from wearing a patch on my good eye for hours each day as a kid, or just a quirk of my particular amlbyopia. It does give me a good idea of which image in double-vision to treat as the "false" image, as the one from my bad eye is far more transparent, and gradually disappears if I keep my gaze fixed. I do still sometimes have to "cheat" on [DMV] vision chart tests if I don't have a valid opt*ist note on hand, but my peripheral vision and depth perception are relatively good for someone with 20/100 vision on one eye, when that eye also tends to fade to black in a strictly-static gaze over 15-30 seconds. ;D ... (that's a pun of an emoji) Edit: typos.

I have normal eyesight, as far as I know, and I've never had much luck with the "staring off into space" stereograms, yet the cross-eyed ones work just fine.

Yes

Inca's made these whistles. Not the Aztecs

@@tracischmidt8593 Yeah they did. But most people don't really know the difference.

@@brandonnguyen6718 whole different country actually! i wish they did know the difference :/

@@jeremy7707 It's mainly because of the name. It was named wrong by the people who first found it, and even though now that we know who actually made it, the name stuck. It's like Chinese water torture, which was actually an Italian invention.

Thank you!

I wish I could find a file to print one of these myself but as far as I can tell, nobody has made one yet.

@@drnarwhal2888 Steve's done the modeling himself on his transparent version. Find a frame where it's mostly planar with the camera, take a screenshot, drag that into your CAD software of choice, trace the elements, extrude, job done.

as soon as I read epoxy my mind jumped to the idea of a collaboration between steve and xyla foxlin

I seriously think Steve has one of the best educational channels, his stuff is always equally as entertaining as it is educational, and he doesn't even have to do anything super silly to keep it interesting, he's just that good at teaching

You are now becoming like the ray mak guy lmao. I see u everywhere.

Same!

If you want to see more of that use, I'd highly recommend searching for cross-eye stereograms. There are even paintings that reveal an image only when cross-eyed! If you can "de-focus" your eyes so they're parallel (sometimes called a thousand-yard stare), there are also stereograms for that. VR headsets do something similar too. The lenses redirect light so that you can view parallel-eye stereograms without de-focusing your eyes, and the screen displays a constantly-updating parallel-eye stereogram!

@@mlatpren I first tried to do the thousand-yard stare and wasn't able to, then I realized we were supposed to go cross-eyed anyways. Pretty cool.

But the immediate cut to a singular image at 2:54, while going crosseyed, was totally irritating:(

I found something curious. I am nearsighted so if I take my glasses off and de-focus my eyes I still see close things crystal clear (because my eye can't focus to distant things so it just gives up on it and stays in close focus). This way the image is so much bigger and much eaiser to focus. If I put my glasses on I can't do this since I become able to focus to the distance and the 3D picture becomes all blury. In the same way if I do it cross eyed without glasses for some reason I can't focus my eyes but glasses on cross eyeing it, it works perfectly.

@@mlatpren If this one at 2:16 is viewed wall-eyed (focus in parallel) instead of cross-eyed then it's still 3D, but rotating in the opposite direction!

Lmao same

Surprised that people came up with such an amazing device, imagine what a common person must have thought when hearing this back in the days

Actually it’s been used extensively in the past. There are artworks that have elements that can only be viewed stereoscopically and is the basis behind all of those magic eye gimmicks that was popular in the 80s and 90s. Additionally novelty devices called stereoscopes have been around since the late 1800s. They worked by having two photographs of the same image shot from slightly different angles placed inside and the user would then look through the viewfinder and see a 3D image.

@@joshs5577 I meant on YT 😅

@@cheaterman49 In that case do you remember the Google Cardboard. Same thing but with RU-vid.

How did you do it? I can do magic eye pictures, but two videos? How should you do that?

@@Freestila So how I do it is relax my eyes and let them cross slightly. That will result in basically 2 sets of images each with a right and left video on them. Try to overlap the middle two video images (basically the left video in one with the right video in the other). It can be tricky so it might help to move your phone or laptop closer or farther away from you. But for me it generally quickly "pops" into a single 3 dimensional image that is moving and in focus. It's hard to describe but I hope this helps!!

@@Freestila I put my phone 15cm from my face and focus on something roughly 70cm in front of me. Merge the middle two of the four images in the middle, if you can do magic eye you can find it.

Hi, thanks for the insightful info, really appreciate it. If you're interested in joining my Discord where we chat through ideas here's a one time link: discord.gg/P2QMZSsjhm

Oh, where is that sold? I would love to have a howling wolf jug and support an artist

Lol, I had a similar story but the other way around. I remember watching these "fake 3D effect" videos and images that can trick your brain into thinking it's looking at a 3D image, by just crossing your eyes and focusing both images with each eye at the same time. But I didn't know it was called "stereogram". Also, to me I found quite difficult to recreate this stereogram, as the image was spinning around, and when it got to the back part of the whistle, my eyes just moved with it and lost the focus to the 3D image. I don't know if I explained myself correctly. English isn't my first language.

This ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gpLm695aeXM.html

I recently learned how to see them and they're wonderful...

Same, I was not ready for that

If only Steve would start embracing the third dimension. An entire video of why a flat model didn't work, but no thought on making a wider one lol

I saw an exhibit at the Science Museum in London that demonstrated this with a rotating cube. They tell you to close your eyes and look again a few times. Each time you look at it your brain chooses a direction to interpret it as moving. It is because of the ambiguity between which lines are in front and behind.

It's inevitable at this point

@@SteveMould In the next video I attempt to use a Peruvian water whistle to hail a taxi in NYC. Coming later... One trick the whistle cartel doesn't want you to know! Love you Steve!

That's just him developing his own brand/image

Besides buying one for myself, Steve inspired me to buy the man/woman Peruvian whistle as a gift for a newlywed couple. The whistle even comes with a romantic story. The man is lost and cries out (first whistle sound) for his wife. She respond, 'I'm here. Follow my voice" (second whistle). Then, you can make them both sing together. The couple and everyone else found the whistle delightful and romantic. So, Thanks, Steve!
