[i]Should be the current state of the output image.[/i]

Has anyone noticed that the url ends in day=0 ?

It looks like we're forming an infinity like symbol with the geomask, 45 degrees askew

At least Bungie stayed true to their word. We were first to be notified of the site.

It looks like there's some text for us to read in the left image.... We're gonna need a lot more people. :V

There are words written in the picture to the left. A paragraph it looks like.

Has anyone tried doing a u-v shift on the left image?

I wrote a tool that is capturing the changing images over time and saving them online. You can see the images at Tied the Leader's web server. I'll add more meta data to the page but I wanted to get something up quickly. For some background, I'm requesting each image, and when the 'ETag' http header changes, I'm grabbing an updated image and saving it to the servers. The default page is listing the images from oldest to newest at the moment.

2 more minutes!

This guy on NeoGAF is a genius: "I think I know what Bungie (or their PR company) has done (or are trying to simulate). The terminology being used in this teaser is very similar to that used in radio interferometery, a technique where signals from individual radio telescopes are combined electronically to produce highly detailed images on the sky. Collections of such telescopes are called "arrays" (like the Very Large Array in New Mexico). A given telescope is sometimes called an "element." Pairs of telescopes in an array are "baselines." In a radio interferometer, signals from each pair of telescopes are interfered and the resulting product, a "visibility," is measured. A given pair of telescopes produces a measurement in spatial frequency space, the "uv-plane." The ensemble of visibilities are Fourier transformed into an image. What I think may be happening is that every visitor's IP is being traced and the distances to other IPs being worked out, making "baselines" from which an ensemble is being used to slowly reveal the image on the left as more people check out the page. The image on the right is the distribution of spatial frequencies so far covered. As the image on the right becomes more white, with more page views ("global observatories"), more spatial frequencies will have been covered and the image on the left will become more legible. The "frequency gaps" noted beneath the image on the right indicate that the spatial frequency coverage is not uniform, leading to significant aliasing and artifacts in the image on the right."

Here's my input :) Having just compared two copies of the images made 20 minutes apart, it looks like the image on the right is an indicator of how many people are online and the image on the left gets clearer when more people are online.

So it's counting down to next Monday?

Can anyone tell if the "output.png" is changing over time like the "geomask.png" is? Also what's with the Force and Equivalence symbols in Alpha Lupi's avatar?

Looks like we're aiming for a 10PM "strike" on this.
