I was intrigued by a video I saw on Youtube from 1977: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO2MZV9AC_c
20 seconds into the video they demo a computer taking a portrait of a person and printing out a very good likeness on an ASCII line printer. I wish there was more explanation into how this was done, is anybody familiar with the tech that could have been used? It would be a fun project to re-create, I post here in the S-100 section because there was an IMSAI later on in the video, perhaps the machine used to take the picture?!?
