I can't believe I'm seeing this website again. I forgot its name a few months ago and thought it would disappear into obscurity. Nice to see that it's getting some recognition on here!

There's an IRC client tucked somewhere in there, and the owner is in one of the channels.

I talked to him on it a while back through it, it's a side project of his. It's meant to be some kind of Youtube browser simulcast multi-tool (think: watch Youtube videos with your friends simultaneously over the internet... in 3D!!!).


This seems like some hosted video player with a confusing interface and a set of strange functions (look closer, world wide chat).... Am I wrong? This is confusing.....


I imagine this is how the "internet" looks in an alternate universe


This makes me want to buy a Dawner Prince effects pedal and I don't even play guitar anymore. Pretty effective advertising.

As a side note, the Look Closer button consistently crashes my browser (firefox 48.0.1). Anyone else having the same issue?


Strange, confusing site. Sort of fun to explore though.


quick google searches: https://www.patreon.com/1080plus


Pretty much the same exact reaction I had: What is this? I like it


Doesn't seem to do much on iOS.


throws an error and reloads the page in a loop for me on iOS.


I don't understand anything.


Controlling the volume wasn't obvious to me at first - or maybe key parts weren't rendering? - so for any others maybe similarly confused, drag the red box to the right of the Volume label left and right.


It is a guitar effects pedal: http://dawnerprince.com/products/boonar


WHAT IS THIS


This crashed my Macbook Pro in Chrome. Full reboot.


one of the buttons crashed out my firefox, I'm liking the 3d asciisector thing it's showing at the moment though :O


I ended up watching more videos from the site.


I tried to get the thing to play Rich Hickey's Simple Made Easy talk... Couldn't get the thing to work.


looks like a bucket brigade analogue delay pedal of some type.


OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan) FF & Chrome: black screen and nothing else
