Hud Application Print: Fill & Download for Free

That's easy. It's 6502 code that's part of an assembly function to load stuff from an Apple ][ DOS 3.3 floppy. The whole program appears in an issue of Nibble magazine. I imagine plenty of folks typed it in and ran it, and did not end up hunting down Sarah Connor.(EDIT: See the addendum I added below Michael’s blog entry for more details!)Michael Steil has a nice short summary at his blog:In the first Terminator movie, the audience sees the world from the T-800’s view several times. It is well-known that in two instances, there is 6502 assembly code on the T-800’s HUD, and many sites have analyzed the contents: It’s Apple-II code taken from Nibble Magazine. Here are HD versions of the shots, thanks to Dominik Wagner:This is the first assembly snippet:This is the second assembly snippet:There are some assembly equates:On the left, these are the assembled opcodes of the second assembly listing, reaching from “LDY#10” to “SEC”. On the right, there is output of a run of the checksum application Key Perfect on a file names “OVLY.OBJ”, which prints a 16 bit checksum for every 0x50 bytes:Addendum: Someone going by the name Dave added a comment at Michael’s blog with these detail:The VTOC listing is from the RAM Disk 64 program NEWRAM, published in Nibble September 1984 and Nibble Express V (p. 170) and available on Stavros disk NIB21B.The INSTALL/LOOP listing appears to be from MON.E, published in Nibble August 1984 and available on Stavros disk NIB21B (the object code on the screen matches the disk file).The OVLY.OBJ checksum listing almost matches that produced by Key Perfect 5.0 for OVLY.OBJ published in Nibble April 1984 (possibly the article “Managing Applesoft Overlays”) and available on Stavros disk NIB19B.I don’t know where the equates are from; maybe someone with a stack of magazines or the $90 DVD-ROM can dig around.

Just a few to start the discussion:1) What platforms would I like to deploy AR on (web, mobile, kiosk, HUD, tablets etc)2) Can I develop an application myself or will i need someone to build it for me?3) If I'm partnering with a developer, what assets am I delivering? What roles are both parties playing?4) What's my timeline (time until project needs to be live)?5) Who is designing storyboards for the application (what do I want to have happen?)6) How clearly is my marketing message being communicated by the visuals displayed?7) What marker will I use to trigger the application? What does it look like? How do I get it into peoples hands? (download + print, magazine insert, handouts, product packaging etc.)8) Once I have people engaged, how do I allow them to share the experience? (twitter, facebook)AR has a unique ability to hold a users attention + deliver a novel, memorable experience. Refining the interaction mechanics and marketing communication that go into that experience will make the crucial difference between you customers saying "huh that's kindof cool" or posting across their networks: "oh my god you've gotta see this"

Poetically ...Every musical instrument is a combination of interface and framework for making soundEvery meditation practice is a unique api for making low level calls to mental stateEvery workspace designed for chemical transformation encodes a set processes geared towards things as diverse as dyeing, cooking, and medicineEvery great game like go(ban) and poker are unique query languages for your opponent's character.Concretely ...The blender UI the unique outcome of in house developers writing specifically for a small team of in house artists. Digging into that history and how the software eventually opened up reveals a great story about how to adapt the master strokes of a quirky niche application into something generally useable.There are plenty of games with unique interfaces. Sometimes the interfaces is the actual challenge and appeal. I'm looking at qwop, and octo-dad specifically. Other times the interface is a instrumental in setting the mood. Lost in Space, and Aliens versus Predator (esp AVP 2) use HUDs and or the lack of a hud to great effect.Specialty programing languages abound and are really nifty. Robo, Max MSP, are all excellent material to study CLIP.Broadly ...Interfaces are linguistic in as much as they define what kinds of things a user can say to the system. Well or poorly, implicitly or explicitly, loosely or sharply, they articulate a kuhnian paradigm for approaching a problem space and tool set. The important thing to remember here is that any aspect of reality you weave into your interface adds its own voice. Suminagashi prints look watery and fluid because, well, water was part of the interface. Interfaces sit on top of systems. Systems exist to increase our power by allowing us to delegate to them. To allow us not to smear ink with our fingers, but to ask water to guild color placement. If you want an endless source of unique interfaces think about any aspect of reality, a material, a process, a thought, come up of with an interface that brings that aspect meaningfully into the human creation process.
