Re: Project Prometheus images and QR.

So... I went back to the suggestion from someone that there is broken code in the images that were just released, and if play with the levels in Photoshop or some other photo manipulation software there is definitely something there.. as illustrated by someone quite a while ago, my apologies to whoever it was that figured that out.

Does anyone know anything about QR codes and/or piecing them together if they are split apart? (Other than what I started and don't have time to do today which is copy and pasting rows and columns of code and trying to build something out of it)

Anybody have thoughts on it?


i've looked into barcodes & qr codes over the years & more recently read up on it during the firerises dark knight viral that went dead after the prologue. there was a bogus barcode on the gotham street map that didn't correspond to an actual iso standard, but it extended my curiousity in general...

with that said, qr codes contain specific components which i did not see in the patterns that seem to be 'qr' superficially by nature.

the key thing i looked for were the positional squares, which are missing in the patterns found:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:QR_Code_Structure_Example_2.svg

i mentioned this on twitter in passing but forgot to mention it here.

i'm skeptical but if they are infact qr codes missing positional squares, it can in theory be pieced together by finding overlapping matches and assembling it like a puzzle. positional squares may then be added to be accepted by qr readers.

Perhaps printing it out and cutting the pieces then stitched them in a order that produces a working QR code. Can any positional square do? My printer is busted. I might use photoshop and realigned them that way.

Found this website that one can add custom logos in QR codes, interesting part is the stitching process. http://hackaday.com/2011/08/11/how-to-put-your-logo-in-a-qr-code/

Are there any other codes in the new pictures of Noomi Rapace and the RT-01 Transport? So far I have only seen pictures released of the Prometheus spaceship that has the codes on them but not of the newer ones.

hey guys, first time poster here, been following this thread since the Eridu page was discovered... and i have to say... i would have found neither of the 2 passwords without looking here, and i would CERTAINLY not have found the second one Laughing

It would seem that this whole thing is on its ass for now, but my one question is... what does the Prometheus Movie UK facebook page mean when it posted on friday "Have you uncovered the new content within the 'Discover Prometheus' app yet? http://on.fb.me/Hg0Wt9"

the link sends you straight to the starmap (uk)... are they simply saying "have you found week 2 yet?" or am i looking for something that isnt there in some hopeless optimistic way..... ? LOL

It doesn't say anything on the US site so i'm guessing optimism?

Cool...been looking forward to the David video since it was first teased, AGES ago.

Hopefully it will mark a new phase in the game and some more interesting (and, hopefully, challenging) puzzles to work through.

I couldn't listen as I am at work but I watched it with no sound (bloody frustrating as my lip reading is not great).

One question though, what is the Slide ROR 76 (flashes up between David closeups a few times)?

Is it mentioned in the dialog of the video or is it random (and by "random" I mean was it placed there deliberately in a apparently random fassion)?

EDIT:

Correction - Images shown in order: ROR 77, ROR 76, ROR 75, ROR 78

Seems too random to be random imho

Good !

There are grinds ! I thing that the arrows on the both sides designate steps to follow !

EDIT:
Here is also David's related answers:
CHildren play, Angels, Universe, Robot...

Additionally, this image that can refer to the ANDROID EFFICIENCY charts:




EDIT 2: What is ROR?

ROR (Resources of a Resource) is a rapidly growing independant XML format for describing any object of your content in a generic fashion, so any search engine can better understand that content. RORweb.com is the official ROR website.

Hum... nope... Embarassed

Wooo!! new tic-tacs!!!

ROR is would suggest is the Rorschach Test, a type of psychological test - the link has the cards used on the article, but I can't figure out a specific correlation from first glance...

Plus, the answers David gives doesnt really tie up with the 'usual' responses for any of the cards

I think it's supposed to show that while the David-8 shows empathy and the illusion of emotions, it doesn't affect the way it functions.

Just watched the video.

Did you notice at the very end where David is siting down that it has the "Tipe - Technological - Intellectual - Physical - Emotional"

I am wondering if that has any meaning along with the additional images throughout the video.
