TCW Podcast Episode 206 - SEGA Saturn Part 1   In this in-depth exploration of the SEGA Saturn, our focus delves into the intricate technology that underpins the console. We delve into the challenges associated with 3D modeling, collision detection, and object occlusion, scrutinizing how the Saturn, primarily a sprite-based system, manages to incorporate 3D elements. The pivotal moment arrives with the announcement of the Sony PlayStation, prompting SEGA's aspirations for enhanced 3D capabilities. SEGA sought Hitachi's involvement to augment the machine's speed for handling 3D demands. Fortuitously, the utilization of the SH2 chip presented an opportunity for two processors to collaborate seamlessly. Our discussion delves into the profound technical intricacies, laying the groundwork for the subsequent episode where we will unravel the repercussions of these technological endeavors for SEGA and the Saturn.   TCW 127 - Dreams of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/dreams-of-sega/ TCW 129 - The Crash That Almost Was: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-crash-that-almost-was/ Workstation VS Desktop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpBWaiWcXAk Workstation VS Gaming PCs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMSx2MUHSWM The Abyss - CGI Making of 1989: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAFIUuFRkBA Terminator 2 Advanced Photorealistic Morphing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37YrnLbQda0 How Did They Get the CGI in Jurassic Park to Look so Good?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4UuQxjFpfU TCW 087 - Virtual History: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/virtual-history/ Z-Buffer - Friday Minis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9GyYKcLDaw How Games Have Worked for 30 Years to Do Less Work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHYxjpYep_M Doom Engine - Limited but still 3D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGJQqhMN1U Collision Detection in Quake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLHXn8IlAiA MDShock: https://mdshock.com/ RISC vs CISK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rxade2nEjk Universal Logic Gates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPLg_P9dHNY Rodrigo Copetti Technical Breakdown Website https://www.copetti.org/ SEGA Saturn Architecture: https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/sega-saturn/ SEGA Saturn Polygon Distorted Sprite Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TleepxIORU Why Was the SEGA Saturn so Hard to Develop On: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa5pIfDvd68 Why Triangulate Game Assets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oY_Ogj9Gh0   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 087 - Virtual History   And now we discuss at the technology that has been just a few months away from revolutionizing video games for the past thirty years, virtual reality. While a hot topic again due to the emergence of the Occulus Rift and the PS4 VR, virtual reality has been a Holy Grail of computer graphics research since the early 1960s. We examine the origins of VR at the University of Utah and its refinement at Atari and VPL Labs before looking at several attempts to bring VR into the mainstream in the early 1990s. We end with a quick look at the state of VR today.   Master Collector of View Master: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JxAv3-QOzc Morton Heilig's Sensorama (Interview): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSINEBZNCks Legend of the Sword of Damocles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNSh519GxvY Sword of Damocles Headset Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OwlABr1o-g Sword of Damocles Headset With Explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vuGXWnYZpA Lecture from 1996 on Sword of Damocles Headset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2AIDHjylMI TCW 046 Atari, Ray Kassar, and Warner: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/atari-ray-kassar-and-warner/ Moon Dust Commodore 64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzVIEnTfclY Scientific American Interview Jaron Lanier: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/interview-with-jaron-lani/ AVGN Zelda II Power Glove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ab48nahZzo The Wizard - Power Glove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Esx7xgXl5g The Untold Story Of VR On The Sega Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UN_pN9ZU8Y Sega VR at CES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd98RGxad0U Dactyl Nightmare Gameplay and Unit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbOGV8-lyno Oculus Rift Polygon Nightmare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqfpt2hoVrU Discovery Channel Battletech Center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdJA5C_Po4U&t=4s Polygon Disney Quest VR Article:https://www.polygon.com/features/2018/10/18/17888722/disneyquest-disney-vr-closed Zone Hunter Promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8STASuTKDag Buggy Ball VR on a game show: https://youtu.be/NkQCWiYB3Wc?t=475 John Carmack Interview on Oculus Rift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyuMVazQPos Tetris Effect Launch Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFVL6t8IHE8 Real Bomb Squad plays Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYunaBkn9Ng   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

NASA has an incredible amount of available information about the early Apollo missions – information that Immersive VR Education has put to good use in a virtual documentary.

In today’s lesson, entitled Virtual History, you will learn a bit about the Great Fire of London of 1666. You will also hear about a fascinating new mobile phone app that can transport you back in time to key historical moments. That’s right. Time travel—well, sort of. Listen carefully to the passage and then answer the questions that follow. Answers to the Listening Comprehension Questions are available as a separate track on the KA Voicecast website.  And be sure to listen to the KEY VOCABULARY bonus track to boost your word knowledge! 

Few years in U.S. history call to mind such immediate stock images as 1776. Powdered wigs. Founding fathers. Red coats. And if asked to place this assembly of objects and people, a few cities stand out: Boston. Philadelphia. Williamsburg, perhaps. This is the small world conjured by the Revolutionary era; the remainder of the continent, some 96% percent of the landmass exclusive of the original thirteen colonies that called themselves Continental, conceived of as a blank slate, awaiting inevitable expansion. Claudio Saunt wants to change this. Richard B. Russell Professor of American History at the University of Georgia and co-director of the Center for Virtual History, Saunt’s new book, West of the Revolution: An Uncommon History of 1776 (W.W. Norton, 2014), explores nine American places and the diverse peoples who populated them in that fateful year, from the Aleutian Islands to San Diego, the Florida Gulf Coast to the Saskatchewan River. By illustrating complicated webs of trade and exchange, competing empires and diverse Indigenous responses, Saunt makes the case that the stories of people like the Aleuts in the Aleutian archipelago, Miwoks and Costanoans of northern California, Creek Indians of the Deep South and numerous others deserve our historical attention as fully and richly as musket-bearing minutemen.

Vad hade hänt om Hitler förvägrats Sudetområdet 1938? Om Caesar inte korsat Rubicon och Kina upptäckt Amerika före Columbus? Stian Nordengen Christensen har som en av få forskare intresserat sig för så kallad kontrafaktisk historia - historien om det som kunde ha hänt. - Det handlar om att förstå hur svårt det egentligen är att lära av historien, menar han, och hoppas att hans avhandling skall hjälpa till att föra in en smutskastad teori i det akademiska finrummet. Vetenskapsradion Historia besöker också dataspelsföretaget Paradox i Stockholm för att ta reda på varför kontrafaktisk historia attraherar datorspelskonsumenter. I spelens värld handlar det om att styra ett historiskt rike genom seklerna men där det finns stora möjligheter att omforma historien efter sina egna idéer. - Behållningen i våra spel är att man får ändra på historien och göra lite som man vill med den, säger Henrik Fåhraeus, speldesigner. Programledare är Tobias Svanelid. Nedan följer en lista på böcker och spel på kontrafaktiskt tema: Virtual History av Niall Ferguson Ödets fingrar av Alf Henrikson Attentatet i Pålsjö skog av Hans Alfredson What if-serien av Robert Cowley Mannen i det höga slottet av Philip K Dick Konspirationen mot Amerika av Philip Roth Faderland av Robert Harris Civilization-serien av Firaxis Europa Universalis av Paradox Victoria av Paradox Hearts of Iron av Paradox Total War-serien av Creative Assembly
