00:00They plugged it into the PlayStation
00:02before connecting it to another one
00:04and repeating this hundreds of times,
00:06connecting them all together.
00:08And when they put in a blurry picture and zoomed in,
00:11each console did a little bit of the work,
00:14Analyzing billions of pixels every minute.
00:18You see, the military needed a system
00:20that could detect objects in blurry photos,
00:23but using computers to build it
00:25would cost over ten times as much.
00:28So they used PlayStations instead,
00:30creating one of the military's fastest supercomputers at the time.
