Truth be known, there aren’t too many technological constants. Passing electricity through a wire to make it bright, using flammable liquid to push pistons, and pixels. But while great strides have been made to improve each, underneath they haven’t changed. Researches at Bath University, Root6 Technology, Smoke & Mirror and Ovation Data Services have launched a new video codec that could finally put the old pixel to bed. In fact, those behind the research predict the death of the pixel within the next five years.
