A scene from the matrix, in ASCII. ::: cute - follow the link about 1/2 way down the page. the animation source is clearly from the original video. color and density of pixels are converted to ascii characters based on relative "opacity". no big dea there. but i'm interested in how this ascii "stream" of video frames is being played within the browser. i see some minimal javascript and the use of document layers and css. it's still not clear how it works exactly, but it's very interesting.
