  maybe there is more going on here but it's relatively easy to make a text post processing shader and apply it to anything, 3d scene, a video, etc...

  I had a similar effect for a C program I wrote a long time ago (I think 2007?). Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4j-BkwMB20

  and the code: https://github.com/kristopolous/ascsee

  I just updated it so it compiles on modern systems.

  I also found the original version if you like being an archaeologist: https://9ol.es/tmp/gol.c

  Just throwing a HELL YES <with a kung fu punch> out there for this. Nice work. I've been trying to integrate a live ascii video feature for a while now and the subtle detail on this is really inspiring.

    I think it's just a technological show piece, basically built on top of open source libraries and a couple of algorithms.
