Spiegel VAMPIRE blue-start-run experiment mid-to-late 1970s
This was just a short test-run of my mid-1970s "VAMPIRE" software that I wrote at Bell Labs. It was one of the very first "paint" programs. In this brief clip I was just testing out realtime generation of contrary motion and the avoidance of the cadence if the top and bottom curves had touched instead of turning back. No audio, just a visual excercise. This was real-time interactive video generation, captured to a 3/4" U-Matic analog video tape deck. At the time, realtime interactive computer-generated visual material was something even Max Mathews didn #39;t think the computer in that lab would be fast enough to do.
