I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated formats?
And if yes, do you think AI could also upgrade to 4K. So theoretically you could change a SD 4:3 program and make it 4k 16:9.
I’d imagine it would be easier for the early episodes of Futurama for example due to it being a cartoon and therefore less detailed.
Good choice.
I’d imagine that AI probably will be able to in 10-15 years. We already have that photoshop stuff that can analyze the surroundings and then fill in gaps/erase stuff. It’s not perfect but it’s the ground floor. I can only imagine that in the not too distant future it’ll be able to fill in the gaps of video too. Especially with a consistent set like Voyagers main engineering, as an example.
Actually come to think of it, the same principle could be used to make VR environments too.
