Example of scrying engine in use.
In the news
2017: The San Pietro scrying engine, among the most popular computational shrines of San Pietro in Vincoli, is used to process Spirograph data after hours "on a lark". Traditionalists call it "dispectful", but the Pope gives his blessing.
1890: Scientist, inventor, and APTO marketing director Charles-Émile Reynaud discovers a previously unknown Gnomon algorithm function which causes a Praxinoscope to function as a simple scrying engine.
Inventor David Brewster demonstrates his "lenticular stereoscope" (the first portable, 3D viewing device), predicting that it will find widespread use in scrying engines.
Crime-fighter John Brunner uses a modified Lee and Turner Scrying engine.
Diagramaceous soil yields new variety of Bingo algorithm, useful as clarifying agent in wager-based scrying engines.
Canterbury scrying engine computes Mandelbrot set.
Artist-researcher Don Tasmian converts Rotoscope to scrying engine.
