Trans Lucy2 User Guide

Welcome to Trans Lucy Trans Lucy will rock your dreary work world. Yes, it will. Sure, you can listen to the radio or your songs on your computer while you work… but what about watching DVDs or television? Watching a video while you work can be hard because it is visual. You either need to be looking at your documents or watching the video. To see both you have to keep switching back and forth. Lame. With Trans Lucy you can see both at the same time. Using your own optic neural sensors (eyes) for signal acquisition, Trans Lucy overlays a visual signal (a window) directly onto the ocular sensory terrain in front of you (your computer screen). From there the signal is beamed directly into the optic center of your brain. Seriously. Optic neural beaming what? To phrase the above another way, Trans Lucy is a video player application, but with a clearly different way of watching videos. Trans Lucy shows your videos in a window that floats above all other windows, but even better is that Trans Lucy lets you change the opacity of the video display so you can still see your documents behind the video. However, the best part is that when Trans Lucy’s video display is translucent you can still work with your documents behind the display. This is because Trans Lucy lets you click through the video display. You can keep right on working even when the video display is over your documents. See, that really does rock your dreary work world.

In Trans Lucy 2.1 we have added several new features. First of all, we added Grayscale Display. Grayscale Display changes the video or the background behind the video to black and white. This can help keep the video visually separated from what you are working on so it is easier for you to work or to play. Note Grayscale Display requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or newer and suitable graphics hardware. Ano…
