ASCII video using a websocket and a pre tag

Nice proof of concept. I like to see the stretching of node's capabilities.

On a slightly related note, you can play with a similar effect in VLC by setting the output module in the video preferences to "Color ASCII" and restarting it.

Alternatively, by using either the libcaca or aalib mplayer drivers.

I'd love to combine this concept with my (shameless plug) ASCII art Kinect demos:

Looks like it's time to learn Javascript.

I get a message that my browser (Chrome) appears to support all necessary features, but nothing happens.

To view on Firefox 4, go to about:config and set network.websocket.override-security-block to true.

Video example doesn't look SFW.

Yeah, what is that?

edit: I think its a boxing match. Guess thats ok :)

The final word in the format wars.
