Shannon's Mind Reading Machine
In an early attempt to predict human behaviour by a machine, D.W. Hagelbarger created such a machine for the penny guessing game

MERAC
Mechano-Electrical Retrograde Automatic Computer
The effort rebuild early computers truely requires significant effort which is in most cases not available.
So demonstration objects are a good choice to show the essentials of a historic machine. A mock-up controlled by a modern computer is very cost-efficient, but lacks the flair of authenticity.text/html2024-03-14T20:07:59+00:00rainermerac:merac_teaser.mp4 - created

Whirlwind I Vector Interface
This is a preliminary text.
Introduction
To connect a Whirlwind I (WWI) machine (emulated or simulated) to a physical CRT
not in raster, but in X-Y-Z-mode,
a hardware interface supports drawing of vectors.
Single points are drawn as zero-length vectors.text/html2023-10-12T18:43:49+00:00rainerinhalt - wwi en
