Olympics' ceremonies...

I noticed they have cool visual effects like we see in the demo scenes. I guess that's the future. I still think Beijing's 2008 was the best. ;) I can't wait to see what South Korea and Japan will do with theirs.

It finished with the Mario level complete music. It had Abe Shinzo emerging from a green pipe dressed as Mario.

It was frickin' awesome!

yeah, at least eurovision had fairlight visuals!
Also, it's called demos, not demo scenes.
"demo scenes" is common youtube lingo for "demo", btw. And I liked the Tsubasa bit best.

Kuiash, yes that Mario scene was rad. Also the other Japanese parts were rad. I can't wait for 2020!

Creonix would love to see these cool visual effects which you are talking about Ant, Creonix does not watch tv and Creonix is too lazy to search it more so give some links by the chance if they exist.

but if you watch the eurovision "demos", turn off the volume for 90% of the contributions..

most of the eurovision stuff is just pre-rendered videos though - very little of it is realtime or interactive. same with most projections/videos at gigs/shows/whatever. the thing is, most people care more about whether the visuals looks good (and looks the same every single show) than whether it's realtime or interactive. the bigger shows are tours can be very risk averse when it comes to visuals. also, the media servers need to be kicking out visuals over multiple outputs at massive resolutions and at rock solid fps - video is still much easier to handle here.

thing are changing in the last year or two though with high value shows like eurovision '14, innovative companies like cirque de soleil, various theatre shows and artist tours (ed sheeran) dipping their toes into the water. the rest of the world is finally (finally!) cottoning on to what we've known all along - that realtime lets you iterate much more quickly on artistic concepts and makes you much more responsive to changes in the environment.

London 2012 was run on these guys hardware

i don't know who was responsible for the visuals at rio this year. i'm still trying to find out
