The overlay disappears until the next set of spoken commands. Then the contents of the rectangle are enlarged to fill the screen, in a series of steps which are punctuated with sounds similar to a mechanical camera aperture. When the animated rectangle reaches the targeted rectangle, its outline blinks yellow a few times. ![]() “ZM 0000 NS 0000 EW 0000.” The NS and EW-presumably North-South and East-West coordinates, respectively-immediately update to read, “ZM 0000 NS 0197 EW 0334.” After updating the numbers, the screen displays a crosshairs, which target a single rectangle in the grid.Ī new rectangle then zooms in from the edges to match the targeted rectangle, as the ZM number-presumably zoom, or magnification-increases. Each has a two-letter label and a four-digit number, e.g. In response, three data points appear overlaying the image at the bottom of the screen. He stares at the image in the grid for a moment, and speaks a set of instructions, “Enhance 224 to 176.” If this is distracting you from reading, YOU SEE MY POINT.Īfter a second, the screen reveals a blue grid, behind which the scan of the snapshot appears. (Imagine a news ticker, running backwards, where the “headlines” are glowing amber lines.) This seems useless and an absolutely pointless distraction for Deckard, putting high-contrast motion in his peripheral vision, which fights for attention with the actual, interesting content down below. A series of seemingly random-length orange lines begin to chase one another in a single-row space that stretches across the remainder of the panel and continue to do so throughout Deckard’s use of it. A thin, horizontal orange line glows on the left side of the front panel. He inserts the snapshot into a horizontal slit and turns the machine on.
