Significant new ATS Technology Breakthrough

For several months, the core technology of ATS has been involved in a special test designed to integrate websites with new systems for controlling cursors and interface items with direct input from the mouse or keyboard. The potential outcome of this work could be ground-breaking, enabling the physically-impared to better manage their online experiences, or even speeding up a more intuitive experience for the non-handicapped. The test URL is below. When you have a chance, please run this early version of the technology and let us know how well it works for you. Test URL Make sure you read the first page of instructions, and pause to focus on the calibration dot when the applet launches. www.abovetopsecret.com...

*stares at you*

What exactly is the point of this.

*continues to stares till SO's head stops spinning.*

OK, I did it but I don't get it. I see the spirals circling around, what is this supposed to do? I've actually seen this before, I thought it was just one of those illusions.

Don't mean to step on your toes SO, just wanted to give you my input that I tested it. I guess I'm a little confused.

By the way, when I really focus on one, they all stop moving. WHat does that mean?

Holy Crap it works!!

I just tried it. Freaky.

*ahem*.. isn't this thread technically against ATS guidelines?

That was wierd... I stared for 4 mins... and nothing. My head hurts, but the experiment was cool. I like it! DO IT AGAIN!

**me goes to do it again**

WHAT IS THE EXACT PURPOSE OF THIS?

DARPA? The last time I heard of them was while playing Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for Nintendo Gamecube!

*me wonders*

It kinda reminds me of this

We are slaves of the ATS now. I saw the same bunch of spinning.

Verrrry funny. I had an acid flashback and pushed my head through my monitor.

For those members who dont know what DARPA is:

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency

Did you read the instructions? The circle you look at is not spinning. A bit of fun for a tense time (geopolitically) on ATS.

Intresting!

When you look there all spinning but focus on one and they all stop

Very nice OverLord its does exactly what it says on the tin focus and it stops nice work .

Nice one SO! I love that type of thing.

That is so trippy! Once you focus on a white dot the rest doesn't move, but if you move your eyes to another dot it goes crazy....

Funny little mind game SO...I was wrong to say you are humorless earlier

Please do not link to images that the site specifically asks you not to.This guy Bert C seems OK he even allows you to download his images he just resents others stealing his bandwidth.

It is not good netiquette even before getting into the legal issues involved.

Thankyou

Check out this optical illusion (only for the slighlty mature)

That's an opitcal illusion

RIPPED OFF!

Nothing, nada, happens on that page. I feel discriminated against!
As for the circles, none of them spin, no matter which way I look. I feel inferior now too.

Gonna sulk inside my paranoia shell & cry my eyes out.

Wow that pretty cool, it sounds like a good idea to me, keep it up

Cool.
Although I already have that image hanging in my office.
Really Freaks people out..
