What's S90tv?
--
The S90tv idea was an
off-shoot of Farrallon's, Timbuktu/Remote software. The
modem and VATS "blackbox" were put together by Beijing,
China technicians, Victor Caballero and myself to stream
Video, Audio, Text and Scent from Pasadena, California --
to and from WNBS Murray, Kentucky, the birthplace of
radio and lookradio. Ref: TVI Magazine, Vol. 32, Number

The VATS Formula,
SMART90, and S90tv
By Troy
Cory,
Author of The
Smart-DAAF Boys
Many of you may be asking "What
is Smart90 -- and the VATS Dial Tone System?"
First of all -- Smart90 commenced the
research on its VATS dial tone system, way back when, --
in 1988, utilizing existing copper telephone lines. The
idea was an off-shoot of Farrallon's, Timbuktu/Remote
software. The modem and VATS "blackbox" were put together
by Beijing, China technicians, Victor Caballero
and myself to
stream Video,
Audio, Text and Scent from
Pasadena, California -- to and from
WNBS Murray,
Kentucky, the birthplace of
radio and
lookradio.

Who Were the
Original
SMART-DAAF Boys?
What
if I told you
that you
could have a computer that performs three billion
operations per second? What if it had 200 gigabytes of
RAM and its hard disk was 4,000,000 gigabytes? What if
I threw in a multimedia system that you never dreamed
of and a scanning device that could instantaneously
recognize the most complex images?
What if I told
you -
that you could have it for free? You probably
wouldn't believe that such a system even exists, and
if it did, only NASA could afford it.
You're wrong!
-
You already have it, it's in your head! The
ultimate computer, your brain - a perfect tool that we
hardly use!
Imagine that while
strolling down Broadway --
you came to a point where a 3 foot water puddle
crosses the width of the sidewalk. You decide to jump
over it. It would take you less than a second to
assess the distance, calculate the amount of muscle
power and jump without hesitation. Now, try to write a
computer program that would do the same. I'm sure it
would take years of hard work and trials and errors
before the machine could perform a similar jump.
But, try to multiply
283,474,510
1,345,875 using only your brain! Well, as you can
see it is very, very difficult. On the other hand,
your laptop will do it in a split second! Does that
mean that your laptop is more powerful than your
brain? Not at all ! The complexity of the first task
is by far greater than the simple calculation that
puzzled you for a few hours. But, why can't we
multiply numbers as easily as we can make quick
decisions, such as while driving a car?:
Here is why! - Your computer is still a
primitive counter, -
an electronic abacus, if you will. Its base
operation is adding one number to another and storing
the result in its memory. Alternatively, the basic
operation of your brain is "ANALOGISTIC" - and it
leaves a fingerprint on every previous event that
takes place in your life, which in simple words means
-- finding the degree of similarity between two or
more events, objects or subject matter that matches
each other. Using the adding procedure we can multiply
283,474,510 by 1,345,875 by just adding the number
283,474,510 to itself 1,345,875 times. But in order to
break down your jump over the 3 foot puddle of water
into series of adding procedures, you would have to
come up with billions of sequences. That is why it is
so difficult to write a computer program that would
demonstrate even primitive levels of intelligence.
And this is how brain fingerprinting works -
It memorizes your experiences of many, many jumps
that you had in your past along with the relative
muscle force and other appropriate site, sound,
written notices and pheromone attributions. When you
need to jump over that 3 foot puddle of water, your
brain simply correlates the visual picture of the
current situation with other attributes stored in the
memory. After finding the appropriate experience it
just executes it. Simple? Not really, but at least you
have a sense of the difference.

Let me give you
another example!
Imagine yourself in front of your computer
-
Then imagine that your computer is a cash register
with a thousand dollars somewhere inside. But, as you
look at the keyboard and the screen -- you say to
yourself -- is this really a cash register? -- Or is it
an adding machine? -- Who knows? ! ! ! So you hit the
"ON" button and suddenly when you hear the dings -- look
what happens. Your brain immediately reconstructs the
noise made by the ding, and as the icons and numbers
start flickering on the screen, the $1,000.00 is shown
entering onto the monitor -- and as the computer opens --
you picture in your mind's eye -- the thousand dollars
inside the drawer. This illusion is used by magicians,
and it is what made the great "rabbit out of the top hat"
trick so famous. This move wouldn't be possible -- if our
eyes, ears and nasal passage could recognize the movement
of objects governed by the Law of Inertia. Everybody
knows how the trick works (thanks to the History Channel
and Houdini), but what no one knows -- is how to use
subconscious mind data -- in data analysis!
Back in 1992, our Desk top audio video was
operational -
Victor Caballero and myself were streaming our Mac II
computer digital signals back and forth from Pasadena to
the first "lookradio" station, WNBS in Murray, Kentucky.
With our new Macintoshes, we even had Bright Star's Hyper
Animator characters, working in our news room,
lip-syncing our special news events.
At that time, Timbuk2
did a remarkable job transmitting digital signals
through copper wires, but not good enough. We were
struggling to predict the best time of the 24 hour day to
stream our programing. As you probably know, there are
many forces that can influence webcasting. Its transfer
rates change all the time. For years, top mathematicians
have tried to come up with the prognoses formula to
predict the best time, but no one has been
successful.
Then I remembered -- back in
1987
I was performing on stage in Shanghai. As I sang and
moved around the stage, suddenly, the lyrics on the paper
I taped to one of the dancer's backside -- fell to the
floor, leaving me singing
the wrong phrase.
(I sometimes forget my
lyrics on stage).
But, I noticed the
camera with the little red light was focusing on just one
of my back-up singers, -- dancing here and there, and not
on the rest of the group. The Chinese cameraman was
playing games with actress
Joey Lauren
Adams' shinny earrings,
and focusing on her bouncing blond hair that smelled of
sweet perfume.
Immediately I was trying to
predict where Joey Adams would be next -
so I could keep her between the camera and myself,
just in case I missed a lyric or two. In a few moments, I
got so good at her movements, that I could predict where
the camera man would be focusing next. That's when it hit
me -- his eyes, ears and salivary nasal paths were doing
a far more accurate job in interpolating the melody and
lyric of the song, than myself. Before the next show, the
VATS Formula was
born.
Return
To Top
It wasn't a prediction
system
or a complaint to the Chinese officials about the
attention span of their cameramen. My new
VATS
Formula became a simple
"attention
getter" -- using the
natural senses of the human body as a tool, to get the
cameraman to focus onto the movements of the dancers. It
took just one show to train myself, as to which one of
the dancers the cameraman would be focused on -- with
amazing accuracy.
Since I saw the blinking
red lights
focusing on the "real
thing" -
the "real thing" has been my motto. I have managed to
use my own VATS
Formula discovery in
many different scientific projects -- and it has always
amazed me how the VATS
Formula was born -- and how
the brain's
fingerprints can search
and "pin point" the right combination of movements
to analogously reconstruct, sight, audio, text and
smells to help me remember the past -- and solve the
most difficult problem.
Scientifically, the VATS
Formula could be defined as -
"brain
fingerprinting" -- the
use of video, audio, text and smells -- to draw on
one's memory, "to a real event" -- to set
illusionary conditional reflexes. For instance, your
ability to focus on the illusionary thousand dollars
inside your computer, or on the jump across the
puddle on Broadway, or on your ability to focus on
the "rabbit out of the top hat", the illusionary
trick made famous by the magician. Of course,
"something real" should take place after utilizing
the VATS
Formula to resolve a
problem, like "showing the rabbit and top hat".
Picture This! In October
1989, I watched a Chinese TV technician --
at Beijing's government controlled TV station, "doing
some weird stuff". He was connecting a small thin wire
from one computer to another. The first thing I saw on
his computer monitor were scenes of my Shanghai
performance in 1987, being fed into the computer from a
tape deck. On a window, on the same monitor, I watched
him dissolve the scene being fed from a video camera
shooting my live performance on the Beijing stage -- ! !
! ! I was in shock for a
few minutes. The
tapedeck, camera, and microphone were all connected
directly by this small thin wire, into his computer
connection box, all at the same time -- without a time
base corrector. That is how I got introduced to
"Firewire"
and broadband television. !
It might sound strange, but I
had no idea that "Firewire"
existed. It took me about two years to learn how to use
"Firewire" in the multi-media world, and it was
four years before Firewire became IEEE 1394, and
another six years before "Firewire" would become a
standard e-wave transport system in today's
Macintosh's G4s, Sony's iwire computers, and in
digital VCR cameras, hard drives, and DVD
players using 1394 connections.
After realizing the
similarities in the "real world" -
and the VATS world, the rest was relatively
easy. Shortly after putting our China version of "side
banding" electromagnetic signals together, --
Smell-O-Vision and "Firewire" was
introduced in Anaheim, California to some of the floor
participants attending the annual Anaheim
Communication Computer Show. The results were
astonishing. They were amazed as well as surprised, to
hear the word "Firewire" for the first time, as
well as learning that "smells" could be secreted by the
Mac.

So, what is S90tv?
• S90TV
-- is the sum and substance
word for -- SMART90 and VATS. It is our
goal to give the user, the "real thing" and those
classic VATS "illusionary" visual tools -- that is
meant to entertain your eyes, ears and nose,
through the use of Video, Audio, Text and Scent.
• SMART90 -
was named after the inventors
of those wireless radio and sideband signal transmitters
and receivers -- that put the pizzazz into the
electromagnetic wave.
Stubblefield,
Marconi, Ambros Fleming, Reginald Fessenden, Tesla,
DeForest, Alexanderson,
Armstrong and
Farnsworth.
It was the SMART-DAAF boys that first demonstrated
their devices to the U.S. Patent Office, Westinghouse,
Bell, AT&T, RCA, NBC and
David
Sarnoff -- the E-way to earn
E-money, with the electromagnetic wave -- without making
preposterous claims.
• S90TV works
best in real time! A
SMART90 web site or web page is like most mechanical
systems, they normally work well on historical data --
because they have been tested, and have been used by the
web innovators to adjust and test their
upgrades.
