Live transmission of the FIFA World Cup Germany 2006

Ned Batchelder writes about a new service providing a live stream of all the matches in the Football World Cup in Germany via Telnet. This is like watching the world cup in the Matrix, really.

All you have to do is telnet to ascii-wm.net port 2006. There are no details on how it is done, but I guess they are using aatv or something like that.

And now for the screenshots.

This is Figo:

World Cup Germany 2006: ASCII Football: Figo

And this is Cristiano Ronaldo:

More text mode magic:

And if you use MPlayer, you can watch your videos and DVDs in text mode with the “-vo aa” codec (aalib).
