Fantastic film, and great scene that for the longest time would've been utter bullshit but modern camera technology may allow for something like this to happen!
Well assuming it's space future they can probably make cameras advanced as and maybe even higher resolution than the human eye. Which is believable if they can make things like replicants

@@Kinosei30 can make sense if this isn't a regular photo but rather a insainly detailed active 3D scan tech of some sort capable of scanning every corner of the room even if out of reach for plain light rays to reach the "lenses"
The big problem with the scene comes at 2:06 when the pan left reveals Zhora's face with parallax when it wasn't previously visible. But if that was a mistake then I tried to calculate how much he zooms in. I estimate that by the end he's got a 49000% zoom, and a pixel resolution comparable to the grain shown would be about 300 x 120. That means the original photo was about 8.6 gigapixels. That's out of the range of current technology but not unfeasible for the future.
Actually, the "current" (2012) technology had already done a prototype gigapixel camera with an expandable design that could easily reach 8.6. So plenty of time to figure out how to see around corners.
You can easily have made a super responsive voice UI that does just one thing but does it REALLY well. This UI simply analyzes his commands on the fly instead of waiting for them to finish and then react. By the time he finishes the sentence the system already has all the data it needs to react. The problem with these kind of systems is that they aren't intuitive (you need specific commands)
Wait, in 1:55 is he walking through a photo as if it were a 3D environment? "Go right"? "Look behind that pillar"? "Walk through that door and show me around in the other room"?
Disregarding the fact that the resolution on this image would have to be insane, in the last pan to the left, when it moves past the dress, the image revealed with the woman is data that was never in the original photo. It was obscured. This is impossible with a photograph. It had to have been some kind of photorealistic 3d model of the room
Yes, the theory is that these weren't photos. They were special 3-D image technology that when scanned into a machine would create a 3D image of the entire room. They just look like photos when unscanned.
@@Amdk423no, you clearly misunderstand his comment (or the word “photograph”). It’s not possible. Whatever MIT thing it is that you’re thinking of, assuming it exists, is not a camera taking photos that behave like this (or “behave” at all)
If you're talking about e.g. a Lytro, it's 4d in the sense that a common camera is 2d. They're not commonplace nor very high resolution, but sci-fi is about imagination, isn't it? And yes, they can see around corners to a very limited degree.
That scene, in all of its 80s sci-fi naivete, is actually much more credible than the modern NCIS/CSI crap: if I recall correctly, the device Deckard is using is actually a sort of standalone scanner + TV combo (it was fed an actual printed photo, IIRC). Such devices existed in the 80s (e.g. video microscopes), just not with this fancy firmware and vocal commands.

And yet, in 1982, it wasn't certain what direction computing and UI would go. We take it for granted now that things would be this way but one of the things that makes BR so interesting is that it's a plausible (and disturbing) alternate history for us. Probably diverging in 1969, but that's another issue
Who says it's a fixed 2-dimensional image? MIT has created a camera that can see around corners by decoding the photons reflected off surfaces. So this is certainly plausible in the future. Check it out, it's pretty interesting.
Bladerunner is a masterpiece of cinematography with multiple scenes like this which remain in the memory forever. Ridley Scott's sci-fi paragon... his masterstroke for this scene is all those beeps and clicks though... perfect feedback after 30 years or more... genius! Thanks for the upload...
I doubt it was Scott who came up with the clicks and effects. He used the same effects team that he used for Alien I believe. As usual, there's some brilliant tech behind the scenes that never gets credit. Proof of this is how lame the Covenant effects are.
This is supposed to be 2019. There is no technology, not the gigapan or the Light Field Camera, which lets you get more information than is contained in the image. Now, maybe the original camera has multiple lenses so it is in fact just stitching together multiple images. Looking carefully at the way the scene is presented, it looks like they just took multiple images and slid them back and forth in front of the projector - the snake-scale-like white stuff he has the camera center on before he finds the woman to the left seems to be just a bit of photograph sliding back and forth over the background image. Way better than crap like Judge Dredd's "enhance to see the baby is actually in a steel drum" scene of course; I was always partial to this one.
Maybe the image is incredibly high resolution, and the information is in the image. In a study just published in journal PLOS One, Jenkins and Kerr demonstrated the ability to identify faces reflected in the pupils of high-portrait subjects.
If the two mirrors in the wardrobe had rounded or angled edges then it would in theory be possible to see more of the room by analyzing the reflections on those surfaces. I don't think rounded edges are a thing though (unless they are in the future). And angled edges would be more visible I think.
There's a theory going around that these weren't normal pictures, but special futuristic 3-D images that could be viewed as such when scanned properly and just looked like normal 2-D Photos when unscanned. Would explain how Deckard got 3-D Images from them.
Yes - if it was a photograph the image of the woman wouldn't have been available data. It has to be some kind of photorealistic 3d mapping that had then reconstructed the room - IF that was the case, it should have been able to pan 160 degrees around and observed the woman directly, not just in the mirror
i would like to get my computer to make sounds like this during certain functions, used to be able to do that with older Windows, not sure about the new ones.
It serves the scene. It's also why you see corporate logos all over their products when they're not like that in real life. It's for the benefit of the audience,
I've never understood this scene (I'm not talking about the technical aspect) - why does he look so surprised when he sees Zhora? He had been shown images of all 4 of the replicants earlier in the movie. He seems to have discovered something out of the ordinary, but all I can see is that she's sleeping. Can someone explain? Also does anyone else think she looks sick? I guess that shows that she's dieing like Roy - but then why doesn't she look sick when he meets her in person??
Stephen D I think he looks surprised because of what you have said before, that she looks sick, meaning that she is going to die soon, and that explains that skin scale he found before. But after seeing this scene again, I have one question: How the hell did he realised that something was strange in the photo before putting it into the machine!?
Blade Runner doesn't stand up to very close scrutiny in plot details. The overall themes, score and visuals are amazing, but the writing has some major logic gaps. Luckily the plot is pretty simple, or otherwise you end up with a travesty like Prometheus.

Remember that the Voight-Kampf test is based on the empathy reactions that the Replicants are supposedly lacking. His surprise has nothing to do with recognizing the fugitives, that's his job, but with their unusual behaviour shown on the picture. That is just how I understand this scene, who knows what Scott meant :)
@@personzorz lol, I came to watch this scene because a paper was released in 2022 called "Image reconstruction with Transformer for mask-based lensless imaging" where it could theoretically make "one-shot 3D imaging and post-capture refocusing possible". It's absolutely wild.
Their other paper "Incoherent reconstruction-free object recognition with mask-based lensless optics and the Transformer" has demos of extremely blurry pictures being reconstructed.
I know, it’s moronic! Alright the scene is technically nonsense when you think about it. So what, the rest of the film is as well! 🤣 It’s a great scene and utterly captivating!
in 2023 we have this with AI enhanced photos and out-painting. however, the AI makes up what it thinks is most likely to be at the edges or around the corner of a picture, extending it based on statistics. Something that Deckard finds like this is by definition an anomaly, so he wouldn't have found it with the help of normalizing AI.
god damn, was this a 25 gigapixel photo?
just kilopixels. /:
Well assuming it's space future they can probably make cameras advanced as and maybe even higher resolution than the human eye. Which is believable if they can make things like replicants
we already have gigapixel prototypes that can do this type of stuff
You mean DECKARD had a CRT display. He's keeping it OG. He's sick of all this future shit he's gotta deal with every day in LA...
