What you don’t know might not exist

At least when it comes to what your eyes can see and your brain will stitch together. This was something I wrote about for my Masters (I forgot the technical terms for it) but essentially it said that the brain can be fooled because all it’s looking for is a pattern when watching video. So this meant for my Masters project, the various compression codecs that we used could be tweaked up considerably to save on bandwidth and space. This made sense to save time, but now people are looking at these same ideas to save power on mobile devices. It seems so very simple and logical it makes me wonder why nobody thought of it before. After all. compression was to help slower processors (I think) and as processor power increased, compression’s usage shifted toward more quality in the same smaller space to make use of the increased horsepower. So this lower quality idea is certainly an interesting twist that could get us ever closer to better mobile devices and increase the ubiquity of computing.
