LabTOONS, The secret life of LabVIEW objects!

[altenbach]

Today we look at the PIXAR short movie "Lifted" and see if we can make a few interesting obervations.

• Gary Rydstrom must be a LabVIEW programmer, because the telekinesis interface of the alien spaceship definitely looks like it is LabVIEW based.
• Mastery of a complicated user interface IS possible, but it probably needs a few centuries of practice.
• Control labels are for wimps.

(The short "Lifted" is included on the "Ratatouille" DVD, but you can also watch it here)

Here's a quick one for today. 🙂

I will probably have to take a summer break for a few weeks, because I have the house full of visitors from oversees and will be traveling too. I'll try to post one occasionally whenever I get a chance.

Another hollywood angle. The usual troublemakers attract the most paparazzi. 😄

I love yesterday's LabTOON.... I was wondering however... how did you get MathScript to give you an output before he was done

Hi altenbach,

I love these cartoons!  An AE pointed me to this thread yesterday and I have had a blast reading them.  So funny!
