Lemming Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) I hope this is in the right place. hahaha but ok has anyone ever thought about how much graphics and resolutions on pc/consoles/handhelds are just pixels dancing on a screen? It begs the question, what are we really watching when we play video games? Well let me induce a little truth into your gamer world. Some of the first guided missile weaponry (not the navy stuff, I have no idea) were developed with infrared sensors that incorporated single pixel guidance systems.

Lemming Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Sorry to use such crude methods, I didn’t want to link wikipedia since someone is in charge of altering its contents. anyway, from sidewinders to adventure and pong, tank, asteroids, other generic Atari, commadore, intellivision, nes, sega master, gameboy and so on. All of these technologies piggy backing off of it’s predecessor. It’s kind of funny how the first military interceptor and air superiority fighter also employed the processors that made their way into home computers. Also this aircraft had extensive use of the weapons technology mentioned above. So fast forward to modern media, and wow, you get the jist of just how good some of these developers creator kits are that generate open world environments. This gives way to movies and and series’. Anyway, if anyone has something to add on gamer tech history and or current trends in tech culture, please feel free to contribute.
