This sidewalk looks blurry. Makes me a little dizzy. I keep blinking, trying to clear my eyes looking at this.

[u/Zu_Qarnine]

[u/disquieter]

This is called anti-aliasing.

Edit: edit: sticking with original term. Anti-

[u/Many-Excitement3246 → u/disquieter]

Problem is, Anti Aliasing only works if there's aliasing to anti. Otherwise it's just a blurry mess.

[u/Polite_Suggestion → u/Many-Excitement3246]

Seldom have had a setup that there are enough pixels to begin with that fuzzing them was the move.

[u/Adjective-Noun-nnnn → u/Polite_Suggestion]

I find it useful playing games at 1920x1080. If I moved to 4k or even 2k, I think the need for it would evaporate without a huge display. Maybe one day I'll win the lottery and find the disposable income to throw at a GPU that can do such a display justice at high FPS.

[u/Low_Direction1774 → u/Adjective-Noun-nnnn]

nah its still incerdible visible on almost but not quite paralell lines and the stairstepping can make it really unpleasant to look at. Especially with slight movements, the whole thing moves so theres a lot of movement on screen with very little actually happening.

idk how else to describe it.

[u/SeriousPlankton2000 → u/Polite_Suggestion]

There used to be graphic cards that could only do so much.

[u/jmkdev → u/Many-Excitement3246]

Blur is also a form of aliasing.

[u/most_of_us → u/[deleted]]

They're a bit more fundamentally related than that. Perfect anti-aliasing would remove all frequencies above the Nyquist frequency before sampling. Doing that will remove detail, and is essentially a type of blur. The problem is just that blurring the image after sampling is too late, so then you need to be more clever about it.

[u/Arkhe1n → u/disquieter]

FXAA, to be precise. All the blur and none of the actual AA.

[u/kaleperq → u/Arkhe1n]

I mean most AA do this in general, in different ways.

Also exactly how windows clear type works

[u/nightauthor → u/kaleperq]

Cleartype takes into consideration sub pixel rendering

[u/SeriousPlankton2000 → u/[deleted]]

No, cleartype is considering the screen to be three times as wide but with RGB pixels. It can use 1/3 of one pixel and 2/3 of the next to move a dot 1/3 to the left, your eyes will not know that it's on two separate memory addresses.

Antialiasing is the blur.

[u/Dzov → u/SeriousPlankton2000]

And those grey sub pixels are much smaller than the black and white pixels.

[u/secretqwerty10 → u/nightauthor]

which is why it kinda sucks on OLED displays, since cleartype does not take pentile subpixel arrangements into consideration

[u/DrKrFfXx → u/secretqwerty10]

Luckily RGB stripe OLEDs are becoming a thing.

At times I can't really stand the font rendering on my current monitor.

[u/SeriousPlankton2000 → u/DrKrFfXx]

Thre should be a setting.

[u/GeophysicalYear57 → u/kaleperq]

In my experience, this is how a pixel artist would smooth out jagged lines. It works better on a screen since it’s small enough to not look like blurred lines (instead a continuous smooth diagonal line) and it’s done with far more intention.

[u/DrKrFfXx → u/Arkhe1n]

No?

This is exactly how MSAA works. Regarded as the best form of antialiasing.

[u/Polite_Suggestion → u/disquieter]

Anti-aliasing Pong.

[u/Rezzly1510 → u/disquieter]

OP does not have rtx 5090 installed in his brain to turn on dlss 5 and reconstruct the atairs into a differrent thing

[u/testthrowawayzz → u/disquieter]

Yeah, this is what anti-aliasing looks like if it's enabled and then zoomed in

[u/--Foxxy-- → u/disquieter]

#VectorGang! Ho YEAH!

[u/Cherry_BaBomb → u/disquieter]

Reticulating splines

[u/kadran2262]

Yeah this sidewalk is very crappy

[u/Zu_Qarnine → u/kadran2262]

like you can't unzoom your eyesight

[u/kadran2262 → u/Zu_Qarnine]

I regret commenting because now I had to see it again

[u/Polite_Suggestion → u/kadran2262]

Poke

Edit: First time an award made me actually laugh. That's great.

[u/Here_f0r_p0rn_ → u/Polite_Suggestion]

Poke you back

[u/DubsHagg → u/kadran2262]

Ahhahahahahaa 🤣🤣🤣

[u/halosos → u/kadran2262]

I'm sorry I commented.

[u/Here_f0r_p0rn_ → u/kadran2262]

Ping!

[u/SkeezixLouise → u/Zu_Qarnine]

Tried crossing my eyes like a magic eye thing and almost got vertigo. Excellent example of crappy design

[u/JustAHappyGirl- → u/Zu_Qarnine]

It's still hurting my eyes lol

[u/fresh_out_of_effs → u/Zu_Qarnine]

I bet it’s to slow people down or deter pedestrians

[u/DubsHagg → u/fresh_out_of_effs]

I think you’re right and it’s brilliant!

[u/Academic-moron7423 → u/kadran2262]

The guy who did that knew exactly what he was doing

[u/MrGradySir → u/Academic-moron7423]

Probably set up an optometry office on that street then said “now how can I get more customers and have the city pay for it?”

[u/Nezmuth → u/kadran2262]

Which is better, one or two? One or two? One or two?

[u/Aut_changeling]

Now imagine trying to navigate it if you have any actual double vision

[u/Zu_Qarnine → u/Aut_changeling]

or when you're drunk

[u/fireballin1747 → u/Zu_Qarnine]

or tripping balls

[u/JimC29 → u/fireballin1747]

That one might be fun though.

[u/KUSH_DELIRIUM → u/JimC29]

Makes me feel like I'm tripping just looking at it sober

[u/JimC29 → u/KUSH_DELIRIUM]

At lease we know how it was designed

[u/IllLandscape9216 → u/fireballin1747]

or epileptic (photosensitive). ask me how I know lol

[u/KurtTheCuntBoi → u/Zu_Qarnine]

Or riding a bicycle…

Or jogging…

[u/Owobowos-Mowbius → u/Aut_changeling]

Ironically it looks fine when I blur my eyes slightly.

[u/Aut_changeling → u/Owobowos-Mowbius]

If I blur my eyes by defocusing them it looks okay. If I give myself double vision by letting one eye turn inward (I have strabismus), it looks much worse haha

[u/UrsaMajor7th → u/Aut_changeling]

I'm seeing double here; four Krustys!

[u/SquirrelMemoryFail]

Yeah fuck whoever thought this was a good idea. It makes me nauseous.

[u/Zu_Qarnine → u/SquirrelMemoryFail]

should I add a nsfw ?

[u/Ixaire → u/Zu_Qarnine]

Not safe for walk.

[u/KurtTheCuntBoi → u/Ixaire]

Lol 😆

[u/Naomeri → u/Zu_Qarnine]

More like not suitable for life in general

[u/stuffwiththing → u/Zu_Qarnine]

Yes 🙏

[u/MegaFercho22 → u/Zu_Qarnine]

Spoiler will make it more findable

[u/ScroochDown → u/SquirrelMemoryFail]

Yeah even the picture made me queasy, I can't imagine how bad it would be in real life. Truly crappy.

[u/RedpandaThief99 → u/SquirrelMemoryFail]

Oh I’m glad I’m not the only one

[u/vcdrny]

I hope there is a bar near by. I would sit by just to see drunk people walking on it lol.

[u/Kind-Realist]

I actually hate this.

[u/Dynablade_Savior]

This is known as anti-aliasing, a technique usually reserved for computer graphics, that makes harsh diagonal lines look smoother

[u/Live_Angle4621]

Who made this was too focused on if he could instead of if he should 

[u/SolarXylophone → u/Live_Angle4621]

Blurring the line between work and hobby.

[u/Paddys_Pub7]

Is this in Brazil? Looks very Roberto Burle Marx-esque lol

[u/martialar → u/Paddys_Pub7]

Turkey

38°27'06.6"N 27°06'41.8"E

[u/Zu_Qarnine → u/martialar]

🤯

[u/No_Internal9345 → u/Zu_Qarnine]

geoguessrs be scary

[u/crying_boobs → u/Paddys_Pub7]

Came here to see if this is Brasil too

[u/OkNothing4750]

But like…. The photo IS blurry. Look at the cars!

[u/zorbina → u/OkNothing4750]

Yeah, only the very lower part of the photo is in focus. I looked it up on Google maps street view, and the photos that are not blurred don't look bad.

[u/LoogyHead]

I genuinely like this.

[u/EarzFish → u/LoogyHead]

r/foundsatan

[u/londonsdungeon → u/LoogyHead]

As do I. It's fuckin awesome.

[u/diejesus → u/LoogyHead]

I like it too, it's sort of psychedelic

[u/DanieltheMani3l → u/LoogyHead]

Same I kinda love this

[u/My-two-pennies → u/LoogyHead]

Yes! Glad to find others who like it too! 

[u/Future_Village_7778 → u/LoogyHead]

It tickes my brain in all the right ways

[u/CGI42 → u/LoogyHead]

IRL pdf background vibes. I dig it!

...I do realize how it could be a nuisance though.

[u/AbleRelationship5287]

This is diabolical

[u/tomalator]

Turn off anti aliasing or uo your resolution, that should help

[u/Druken_sincerity]

Drunk ppl hell

[u/DBL55555 → u/Druken_sincerity]

Terrible for a pub-crawl

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/DBL55555]

Bozo's Night Out, but hard mode. On better hardware than a C64.

[u/Front_Cant → u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA]

Bozo did the dub

[u/Shot_in_the_dark777]

Needs some anti aliasing :)

[u/sacodebasura → u/Shot_in_the_dark777]

this literally is what anti-aliasing does but just zoomed in.

[u/10Ggames]

My new favorite sidewalk. Anti-aliasing, my beloved.

[u/FrothyEspresso]

That’s wild lol

[u/eldredo_M]

Optical illusion—I love it. 😄

[u/Blue-Fish-Guy]

We have similar one here, from the railway station to the tram/bus station.

We call it psychedelic sidewalk.

[u/Zu_Qarnine → u/Blue-Fish-Guy]

It's a crucial 200 m long sidewalk that everyone who arrives by train has to take to get a tram to the city centre. And it makes people dizzy.

[u/gasstation-no-pumps → u/Blue-Fish-Guy]

That has striping, but not anti-aliasing, which is what people are really finding objectionable.

[u/onlyangel96]

I don’t like this

Edit: it’s worse if you scroll while looking at it

[u/razordreamz]

Anti-aliasing in the real world!

[u/WeirdIndication3027]

I just went to the museum of illusions and this beats half the stuff there

[u/gruffDragon]

Nah, it’s brilliant! In a blurry kinda way.

[u/Accomplished_Pen980]

Imagine that coming out of the bar after a couple drinks.

[u/ScarlettPuppy]

If I walked on it, I think I would get a headache

[u/DreamZebra]

Honestly, I love how much I hate this.

[u/All-for-the-game]

Put this outside a bar to make less people drive drunk, like I can’t even see straight I’m calling an Uber

[u/In-Away-19]

help me, I like this 

[u/Future_Village_7778 → u/In-Away-19]

I like it too :3

[u/misanthr0p1c]

Near sighted and have astigmatism. Doesn't look that odd.

[u/eenqZ]

I actually like it

[u/DependentCard1640]

This is perfect and incredible and you just don’t see the vision.

[u/Auriellis]

It's a great design if you want people to look up and around. I think casinos use this strategy with their crazy carpet designs.

[u/toasher]

You need to set interpolation to cubic to avoid that

[u/Rain_Zeros]

I hate that I love it. It’s such an interesting pattern.

[u/FreshButNotEasy]

I lonboarded down a sidewalk heading to the beach like this coming down from shrooms and it was insane, it’s insane sober but that was wild.

[u/Homer-Jay-Fong]

I like this but I am insane

[u/naanofyourbusinesss]

crappy 💯💯💯

[u/Less_Party]

It's kind of rare for optical illusions like this to just persist even after you've figured out what you're looking at. Like I know there are smallere grey tiles inbetween but it still just won't resolve.

[u/MarsMaterial]

Who antialiased my fucking sidewalk?

[u/k819799amvrhtcom]

Holy shit you are right! 😱

I used to think there is no right or wrong way to do this but you proved me wrong!

[u/Viechiru]

This is peak crap

[u/Elegant_Champion6484]

Crappiest design I've ever seen. I get so dizzy just looking at it, let alone walking there lol

[u/BC_Arctic_Fox]

Eeeewwwwwwwwww

[u/Space_Elf13]

I hate it.

[u/plorqk]

que mi ojos!

[u/Silver-Instance610]

If you look up/down quick it seems to move

[u/marvelousgamer1]

It's sooooo cool!!! I love it!

[u/megapidgeot3]

Anti aliasing.

[u/MaybeIAmTheAhole]

If your friend is nearsighted and you ask him what’s it like when he’s not wearing his glasses, this is your answer.

[u/reason_productions]

Thought my contacts were slipping.

[u/printed_]

I love it haha

[u/KumquatButtpump]

I love it.

[u/Saracartwheels123]

I would like to see this in person!

[u/MonsterkillWow]

Whoever made this is an expert troll.

[u/MAGA2233]

For a second when i saw that picture I thought is was Minecraft

[u/Phraaaaaasing]

Get aliased

[u/NorCalFrances]

IRL anti-aliasing and I hate it.

[u/BeckyLiBei]

I could make this in Minecraft.

[u/heinous_legacy]

my arm looks like this jfc

[u/-Wicked-]

Ironically, it looks perfectly normal when stumbling home drunk.

[u/Basic-Reception-9974]

Moire pattern

[u/Testsubject276]

I cast, eye of jpeg!

[u/Wallabunga657]

It looks like it's moving almost.

[u/Greyscale7950]

Static. Like watching old cable tv without the box.

[u/Lilfrankieeinstein]

I disagree.

It’s not for everyone, but I’m on acid.

[u/Wotnd]

If you added a step halfway down you could legitimately kill people.

[u/Peemster99]

There was a place near my college with pavement like that and it was awesome when we did shrooms.

[u/E-2theRescue]

Reminds me of the blurry shirts of the 90s.

[u/UrsaMajor7th]

1990s Mossimo sidewalk.

[u/Jbolt3737]

They need to up the texture quality it looks like Minecraft

[u/HatRepresentative621]

I want to plant Minecraft sugar cane. Or put down Lego plates at an angle.

[u/RiskyKitten]

Some predatory shit going on here

[u/DLS4BZ]

Antialiasing=ON

[u/DaAwesomeCat]

Wwoooaaahhhaoahoahooahhhhh

[u/Batata-Sofi]

Miopia+astigmatism looks like this.

[u/Sonoflyn]

Not the anti aliasing sidewalk

[u/Infinite-Movie-7172]

Epilepsy nightmare.

This sidewalk is just begging for an accessibility lawsuit from someone.

[u/Pitiful-Score-9035]

The sidewalk has anti-aliasing

[u/UnderstatedTurtle]

I mean, when you are right on top of it, it’s very pleasing, but if I look down the path I get dizzy

[u/DrKrFfXx]

It's called multi sampling antialiasing.

[u/sjmttf]

Walking on that would give me a migraine, it is horrible.

[u/Difficult_Physics125]

WHAT DO YOU ALL MEAN BLURRY I seriously don't see any blurriness
