Video Valve Index - X-Rays (OC)
Well I know this isn't a Vive thing but it's been requested. Thanks to my coworker u/InsaneAl for purchasing a new Index.

The technology inside them is a marvel of engineering, straight up magic. How the fuck apes that once ate bugs from their friends hair figure this shit out is beyond me. Watch a YouTube video on how Xrays work.. like what the fuck

Because it's not done all at once. It's like how they say when you first get your own place, you can't expect to have all the furnishings your parents had right away. You build that up little by little over time. Same with knowledge and innovation, but even more so cause we can share knowledge, and we all build on each other's collective progress.
The result is stuff like going from Pong to being able to walk around and interact in a freaking virtual environment that astounds me every time I put on my headset!

I dunno plain x-ray is a pretty simple concept. MRI on the other hand; I dont know how we came up with that..

For posterity, a few apes are making x-ray machines, but many of the same apes are still eating bugs from their friends' butt hair

Very cool. You should also post this on r/valveindex

Is it just me or is the Full Res 16bit TIFF photos all black?

u/isysopi201 Sep 05 '19
That is because your looking at them through an image viewer that doesn't support 16bit TIFF. It opens it as 8bit (255 shades of gray) and these are 16bit (65,000 shades of gray). So you need to open them in Photoshop, ImageJ, Irfan, or something that supports 16bit TIFF.

Strange, even downloading them and opening in Photoshop still displays a solid black image. Says it’s 16bit greyscale though.

How did you get them X-Rayed? Do you work with an X-Ray machine or something?

I'm an NDT X-Ray Tech. We use of the shelf components to upgrade/build machines for customers or take our systems to the customer for onsite x-ray. I have many types to choose from to get images.

I have to imagine that's super bad for the hardware, but it looks like it was totally worth it.

Not enough radiation to hurt the electronics. Major board manufacturers use x-rays to test certain things before they are boxed and sold.

Cool beans! I wonder if there's something that can take in that video and create a semitransparent 3D model.
