New Features | The HAL Project (HAL 9000)

[@pennypetrosky4539]

I've used this screensaver for years at work. My son downloaded it for me. I would love it when people would say "there's something wrong with your computer" It just quit working today. I'm excited to get your new one.

[@TheHALProject]

That is wonderful to hear you've enjoyed the screensaver, and its great to know you've found this channel! It's funny you mention about people saying there's something wrong with your computer, I also got that all the time, lots of inquisitive looks and "what is your computer doing?" questions!

[@TofuAtttack]

Been using your screensaver for years, was sad it stopped working with the death of flash. But was pleasantly surprised to see you're updating it, can't wait!

[@TheHALProject]

Thank you! It's sad that Adobe no longer can support Flash and the result that has had on the screensaver, however I hope this new 4K remaster helps everyone continue to enjoy the project into the future.

@@TheHALProject How soon do you think it will be available?

[@TheHALProject]

[@wingflanagan]

Ahhhhhhhh! I'm so excited! Mine stopped working, too, when Flash got de-activated. I even tried installing an older version of it without the kill switch, and it STILL doesn't work (I suspect Windows also disables it for security reasons...). This has been my one and only screensaver since 2012. My whole computer is HAL themed, so I can't wait until it's back. TAKE MY MONEY! PLEASE!

[@TheHALProject]

I'm so sorry it stopped working. So apparently Adobe has blocked all Flash content from playing now because of security concerns (as Flash is no longer supported). That's awesome to hear about your PC theme, I would love to see it! No need to take any money it'll be released here on KZbin completely for free! Woo hoo!

[@Gripfall1]

Around 2001 I interviewed Kenneth Kendall about the filming of "The World Tonight". He told me that Kubrick said he should have something to hold, maybe a fancy pen, he would sort something out. That did not really come about in time for Kendall's recording, but may have been the origin of the pen Heywood Floyd's floating pen sequence. Just thought this might interest you. Many thanks for taking this project out of hibernation in a safer manner than HAL achieved!

[@TheHALProject]

Wow that is really cool! I didn't know that. It really makes sense, perhaps that the idea of then pen developed in Kubricks' mind and became the totally iconic scene. Thanks so much for sharing and thank you so much for following the project! I am delighted to revive the project :D

yes! I'm so happy to hear that this is getting a non-flash supported version. i was devastated to find my pc no longer displaying it, and i'm glad it's back in force.

I was digging about in my download archives and decided to re-install this screen saver. Clicking on the Hal Project button took me to your website, which led me to this video *this evening*. This is a wonderful surprise!

Purchased the original HAL screensaver for my Macs and they were the default screensaver for years. Loved them. Nice to see them back again in an improved form. Kudos to you! Although I realize that the project is a labor of love for you, you should charge for them; these are excellent!

Dude my screen saver doesn't work anymore, I absolutely loved the HAL screen saver, Ive had it for years, just wanted to say! I'm glad your still online though, and working on new projects. Keep up the good work!

Oh no! I am so sorry, yes it seems Adobe has put an end to the screensaver for good, and won't allow Flash content to play. But we won't let that stop us! Thank yo so much for your kind support. Hope you enjoy the videos!

[@ironbridge8279]

This is great news; I purchased the full edition screen saver back in the day and am still using it. I have just got a 34" 21:9 screen at work and am pleased the original screen saver still works great on the super wide screen without distorting. I'm definitely up for a 4K multi screen upgrade of this great software.

[@TheHALProject]

Thank you so much for your kind support in the past, it is hugely appreciated.

[@otaku1984-]

Oh thank god. Been using the full edition on all my systems for years. Even put it in the registry to trigger at the login screen. Stopped working on my Win10 and 7 machines today. So happy to hear it's getting an update. :)

[@TheHALProject]

That sounds really cool (triggering with a login screen!). I think the new version may work with an application such as Wallpaper Engine, meaning it could maybe become a background wallpaper!

[@banzaieightyeight1633]

So pleased to be able to contribute to this project as it was on my all my Macs til Adobe 'pulled the plug.' I appreciate the attention to detail you've shown. I miss the screen saver...I can feel my mind going...

[@TheHALProject]

I honestly cannot thank you enough, it is so incredibly generous thank you so much! The project is for you!

[@WTFG78]

Echoing the sentiment about the death of Flash. I've been using the advanced screensaver for years, and was devastated to see that it was no longer functioning today. I remember that the screensaver was completely unavailable for the longest time, so I figured that this was the end. Imagine my surprise when I went into the settings and clicked the "HAL Project" button expecting a 404 error or cybersquatter, but instead seeing the 4K update announcement. Bravo, sir. Keep up the excellent work, and I'll be sure to download the update when it becomes available! Now to find the Pipes or Flying Toasters screensaver in the mean time...

[@TheHALProject]

Yeah with the project relying on Flash in the past it was a double edged sword in a way, on one hand it allowed for pretty good quality animations and super small files but on the other it was a real pain to keep running properly, and now with Adobe ending its life, the screensaver is no more. Thank you so so much for your kind support of the project in the past, it really means so much to me. Now I do want to mention that the new version won't require a download or installation as it'll be released here on KZbin, so it should work on any KZbin compatible device. This should mean it is way more accessible than before. I need to investigate as to how that can translate to things like animated wallpaper and screensavers etc. but first I want to get it up and released. Thank you again!

[@kacperszatko8192]

Even though I haven't been around during original project (I just got my first own PC) I was really amped about possibility of having such iconic character reminding of himself every time I look at the monitor. Look's like I will have to stay to a rainmeter version for some time, but looking forward to this one.

[@TheHALProject]

Thank you for following along! I can't wait for you to see the full release :D

[@fordtimelord]

Very happy to see this, I have both versions of the screensaver, one on my desktop, one on my laptop- was very dissapointed that the removal of Flash took them away.

[@TheHALProject]

Yeah I am genuinely so sorry about that, and I feel your pain, but hopefully with this new release it can live on here on KZbin.

[@PaulCalvert84]

Hi, been using the old advanced version for years and still love it. Sad to see that as of today it no longer works due to the death of Flash. Just wondering if there is a non-flash version available yet, or if it is a case of waiting for this 4k Remaster to be released?

[@TheHALProject]

Hi! I am so glad you enjoyed the screensaver. As it was built using Adobe Flash technology to display the animations a non-flash version is not available at this time. Keep an eye out for updates on this channel - the 4K remaster will not use Flash.

Like most people that have commented, I have been enjoying your screensaver for years. Thank you for keeping it going! Went to Envisioning 2001: Stanley Kubrick’s Space Odyssey at the Museum of the Moving in NYC. Even got to screen the film in 70mm followed by a talk with Stanley Kubricks daughter, Keir Dullea and Dan Richter. Sadly the exhibit was supposed to go on until July but the pandemic locked everything down for the rest of the year.

[@TheHALProject]

Thank you so much for supporting the project over the years, its wonderful to hear from you and that you enjoy it so much, makes all the work totally worthwhile. I must say I am so jealous that you got to see 2001 in 70mm, and see those involved with its making, that's such a rare and amazing opportunity. That's such a shame that the pandemic robbed NYC of the exhibit :( Hopefully it will come back soon! I am desperate to tour some 2001/Kubrick exhibits!

Very good. I am not sure who I am impressed with more. You with this stunning level of work and rendering. Or Kubrick’s teams that did all this originally without the use of any computer graphics.

[@TheHALProject]

Oh 100% it has to be the original designers and team behind the film - it's astounding what they managed to accomplish given the tools at the time - the fact that a science fiction film - made in 1968 (!!) can still hold up to scrutiny today is a testament to their hard work, creativity and dedication to their craft.

Fortunately, it is still running (thank you JM many years ago) on my 15" and 12" PowerBook G4s. I tried in complete frustration to get it running on modern macOS . I'm eagerly awaiting the return of HAL in 4K glory and happy to provide a donation for the incredible work you've produced over the years. I was so sad when your website went dark. Please keep up this amazing endeavor. So excited to see HAL's screens again. Is there a timeline as to when the savoring public can expect the first release?

[@TheHALProject]

Sorry about that, Adobe has now blocked all Flash content from playing so sadly the screensaver will no longer function. However thanks to KZbin it can live on! And, it'll be free and you can watch it on any device that works with KZbin (or video). I also want to say a huge thank you for your kind support of the project over the years it means so much. So as for timeline, I can say I'm about 90% done and I want to get some new animations completed too so there something new for people like yourself (who have supported the project over the years) to see!

It’s pretty comparable to the website, though of course it’s stuck in 2018. Some expanded sections in the book, though some fewer images of course due to space. Overall, I like it, and nice to have as websites don’t always last forever, though I hope that one does.

I'm so happy to know this is coming! This is the only screensaver I have used for at least 10 years on my Mac and PC. Nothing else compares. As with Ironbridge's comment below, this displays on my Dell 34-inch 21:9 ultrawide monitor wonderfully. With the death of Flash and the pathetic white screens I have now, any wait for a new version will be worth it. Paying for it before was no problem and that goes double for a 4K rendition. Is this project anything to do with MRG's demise, I wonder? (Lost a lot of cash there.) The completion of this HAL Project is highly anticipated.

[@TheHALProject]

That is amazing! 10 years! I am so so happy you enjoyed the screensaver. Thank you so much for your kind support of the project for all these years. I must admit I do not know what MRG is? No need to pay!

[@sliuman]

@@TheHALProject Actually it may even be 15 year! You obviously know that yours is the only place to go for a 2001 screensaver! As for MRG... A couple of years ago Master Replicas Group, formerly a (reputable) prop replica maker, got back in the game with a recreation of the HAL speaker module. An extra for the crowdfunding campaign was an attached screen that could play back animations and audio. A little later, another item available for purchase was a HAL 9000 screensaver, that, from images, was very similar to yours. At the time as the HAL project seemed to be dormant, I assumed it was due to licensing issues related to MR. It was about US$20 and I felt it was a rip off, because I was sure it was your work and never bought it. However, I may be mistaken in this regard as the firm said it was developed in-house. What I am not mistaken about is that MR eventually failed to deliver any speakers or consoles, declared bankruptcy after using more than US$500,000 in funding cash with nothing to show. Scammed. Sorry for the sad tale!

[@TheHALProject]

@@sliuman Wow I had no idea! I've never had any contact with Master Replicas Group, though I think I've heard of them. I am fascinated now however and will try to find out more. What a shame that they were unable to release their product, but to be honest it does sound very suspect also $20 seems quite steep - how much was the speaker module? Does that mean people will have lost money by crowdfunding? If so, that's really terrible. To rake in half a million dollars and have nothing to show for it? That's crazy.

[@sliuman]

@@TheHALProject Bad news all round really. I lost some US$800. Stupidly I went from ordering just the speaker which was about US$300 and upgraded for the whole package. They even charged for delivery upfront. I should have know that was suspect immediately! I must have sucker printed on my forehead lol! As you can imagine, it makes me feel real sore.

I WAS working on the 2001 screens up until I saw yours, so I'm putting my focus back on the USCSS Nostromo telemetry screens from Alien. I've been using JS to make them fully interactive, but I think the higher res, crisper, and more detailed animations such as yours are the way to go. Are you using Adobe After Effects or something similar for your animations? Edit: Apparently I'm just going to comment on every...single...video you have haha.

Will there be any way to download the Manifold typeface? I've been working on animating an old presentation of mine on the mathematical modeling of oscillations in star formation regions. Basically, after staring at my screensaver for so long I started to wonder whether or not you could actually use this style to present and communicate actual science and math concepts. Long story short, my final project for my mathematical modeling course stole the show. It's not perfect, and I'm limited by the capabilities of PowerPoint (surprisingly capable), but I feel it absolutely captures the spirit. It would probably be even better if I had the Manifold typeface to use. I'd love to send you a copy of the presentation, but I couldn't find any way to do that.

So I looked into this... If you post the video, I can "download" it with my app. I then can strip the audio with my software. 1) On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Desktop & Screen Saver & then click Screen Saver. 2) Open the Screen Saver pane l. 3)Click a screen saver on the left, then set options for how it will look on the right. ... Set options for when to show the screen saver.

@@moondog0468 Yes for the release it'll live on KZbin, I'm hoping it offers much greater flexibility for people with KZbin compatible devices. I'll definitely check out your instructions as to how we can get it running as a screensaver, and I can post an update to everybody! Thank you!!

Nope! It'll be released here on KZbin as videos so no requirement for Flash.
