Gaming

The cut extended ending scene of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, in which Ciri becomes a witcher, has been restored. It turned out a little more soulful and with new details. Let's recall that in one of the three main plot endings of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Ciri, who eluded Geralt of Rivia throughout the game, not only remains alive, but also becomes a witcher herself following the White Wolf. In the release version, the scene ends with the heroine receiving her own witcher sword and an offer to try it out, but, as modder merigoldmaribor showed, the episode once had a sequel. https://youtu.be/HHcqUeftAoM While The Witcher 4 is still far from release, fans continue to dig up new secrets of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Doom Launched on Volumetric Voxel Display

Gaming

Weta Workshop graphics engineer James Brown built a device in the shape of a ball that rotates and displays a flickering 3D image. The enthusiast was able to run Doom on it. This isn't classic Doom, but a variant called Voxel Doom, where each point of the game object is assigned a position in 3D space, just like the points of a custom-built volumetric display. The display isn't actually 3D—it's an illusion. "It's like a holographic fan, but instead of spinning a 1D strip to create a 2D image, it spins a 2D panel to produce a 3D image," explains James Brown. https://youtu.be/na7pvihXhYs Brown initially aimed for a rotation speed of 300 rpm to produce a smooth image, but found that higher speeds were needed to achieve the desired clarity, especially when filming.
