Very nice find indeed. It makes me wonder how they exactly made this stuff.

I tried this once:

You can control the position of the point on the scope by sending different voltages. By moving the point faster that the eye can detect you can create lines.
No pixels!

A few months ago I was fortunate enough to see a performance by Robin Fox, an electronic musician who used a combination of custom software and hardware to create music using a large selection of really short sharp samples. as the sounds played around the room, their waves were fed into an osciliscope at the front. static osciliscopse images are nothing compared to a live, dancing, evolving pattern

Pan|a|sonic(http://www.phinnweb.com/panasonic/) also uses it to visualise their live performances. Instead they project oscilloscope output to background.
