    For those not up to date its exactly the filter in the thumbnail. The idea is interesting, to separate characters by something other than hue for players. It just seems there is a better, less visually assaulting way to do it. I don’t have epilepsy, but if you do don’t watch that video.

      There are better, less visually assaulting ways to do it. Several of them are in Tekken 8. There are like, twenty filter options. This is one of them. Even the “concerned comments” acknowledge that, and their only angle is “this one might cause seizures in people who elect to try it, and that’s dangerous.”

        I mean, it looks like it can kill people and it makes the game almost unplayable. So why put it in is the question.

          It looks like it would be really good for computer vision trying to play the game via AI

            So its a mode designed for OpenAI’s Universe?

            Edit: this sub is a bunch of angry crabs in a bucket.

      I’d imagine this is a pretty damn good way to help someone with poor vision, not necessarily color blindness, make out two separate silhouettes.

      That filter is just one of the vision related accessibility options.

        Is there a visual impairment where silhouettes with moving textures are more easily seen? I watched the video and am genuinely curious as to the actual purpose. I feel like this is meant to be fun without looking it up at all. The article was also heavily biased against it for some reason it seemed.

      This isn’t for color blindness, it’s for normal blindness.

      The kind where you are legally blind but can still make out shapes. The stripes are a clearer way to help such a person make out two separate silhouettes.

    “You’re holding it wrong” is a very poor response to “Your imagery might kill people.”

    The idea behind this particular filter is admirable. It even highlights the importance of silhouettes in basically all aspects of game design. But wow is it a bad idea to make it that high-contrast and that high-frequency. Use some sinusoidal waves instead of instant black-to-white transitions. Or hey, make one character grey-and-black, and the other grey-and-white, against a grey-and-scribbles background.

    You want it to be playable via the reflection off a Christmas ornament in the house next door, without killing anyone who’s sitting six inches from the screen.

        Image domain, not time domain. A high-frequency signal in time may rapidly go from very high values to very low values. A high-frequency image in space may rapidly go from very bright to very dark.

        You should look up how JPEG uses the Discrete Cosine Transform, because it is unreasonably cool. Nearly all modern lossy compression is based on intense cheating in image frequency domains.

    I felt like I was having a seizure trying to read the article. Why was every thing repeated 2 or 3 times?
