Low-Res Screens Can Transform into Better-Looking Hi-Res Displays With Simple Vibration
And the secret is to simply just vibrate them.
Ok, so there's a lot more to it than that, but the clever discovery basically takes advantage of the way our eyes will blend multiple moving images together. To display a high-res image on a screen with significantly less resolution, the image is first broken down into several smaller images matching the display's native res. These images are then flashed in quick succession while the screen is rapidly, but subtlety, vibrated. Not enough vibration that the viewer gets dizzy, but enough motion so that the multiple images are never displayed in exactly the same position.
When the viewer's mind automatically blends all of the images together, they end up seeing an image that has considerably more resolution and detail than the display is capable of showing. So one day all smartphone screens might be just as capable as the iPhone's, without actually requiring that fancy Retina display. [Floraine Berthouzoz]

I'll be polite here and just ask a simple question. Who throws a shoe, honestly? (Edit comment)
Indeed they are... (Edit comment)
Looks down at diet Mt. Dew currently being consumed.
What about using the vibration of my heart palpitations instead? Would that do? (Edit comment)
Seems highly impractical in most situations. (Edit comment)
All you have to do is constantly waggle your device a little while using it... (Edit comment)
