The Object Locative Environment system was the tech demo precursor which gave rise to the idea of the full Echochrome game. Getting your head around the concept is likely to only be the first step on a long, mind-melting journey.

Echochrome isn't that mind-bending either, once you know that all the "impossibilities" are achieved by handling the drawing in 2D.
Programming such an environment is probably headache inducing, but the theory behind it is certainly not.

If your paying attention then you will see that a single black is placed on the floor.. blocks are stacked around it. The 3d rotation then matches our perception. That is ground breaking.
He goes on to stack blocks under the lowest block. Once it goes back to 3d this shifts the location of the entire column to again match our perception.
That is freaking amazing. it's fundamentally different to every level editor and 3d creation tool I have ever used. This is that is selling a ps3 to me. more then anything else, it's this.

Have you ever even used a 3D package? It is possible to make the same dimensional "mistake" in every and each 3D package (be it Maya, Cinema 4D, MAX, etc). Actually it's one of the basic principles you learn when getting into 3D modelling.
How it works is that you view the 3D world from a single 2D angle. Say, you'd have a camera set up directly above or maybe directly at the side of the objects. This way you see only the 2D representation of the image.
If you construct a 3D object, which itself consists of, for example, cubes, by using this 2D viewpoint, you will end up stacking cubes in a fashion that that looks proper from the viewpoint, but from other viewpoints it might look completely different.
There was nothing special about this OLE tutorial. It just showed how you use some of the tools available in echocrome's level creation tool. Only thing that was nice was how you could easily attach cubes to each other automatically in 3D space without the usual camera twiddling of a 3D package.

Hey this is pretty funky (IMO). But it's not at all as weird as it first seems in the video once you actually play with the program.
