SimuraTV

Description

The origin of SimuraTV is "SimuraEffect", a VJ (Video Jockey) tool I made in 1995. Color effect and image mirroring are all of SimuraTV.

Controlling

Alphabet keys controll the color effector, and numeric keys controll image mirroring. Color controlling:

Key	Result
Q, A, Z	blue
W, S, X	green
E, D, C	cyan
R, F, V	red
T, G, B	magenta
Y, H, N	yellow
U, J, M	white
I, O, P, K, L	unclassified
<Space>	normal

Each color effect has different effect level. For example, Q is weakest blue, while Z is strongest. (Bug: This key mapping is designed for US keyboard layout and does not reflect your keyboard setting.)

Mirroring:

Key	Result
1	no mirroring
2	left based
3	right based
4	down based
5	down left based
6	down right based
7	upper based
8	upper left based
9	upper right based

Using keypad is comfortable.

How to enjoy

Play like VJ with techno music.

Type M with mirroring effect, then shoot the monitor with the video camera. It makes very complicated fractal image when you tilt the camera.
