You might know what is an apple iphone retina display is! Basically it is a ceiling or limitation that apple company had put on the resolution of the screen to match the perception of the eye. Most if not all products today consumed by humans are catered to serve their senses. 5 physical senses and the 6th if you believe in 6th sense. This is about how a saturation and if not an end to external engineering or product development can come sooner or later.
Let us take one example of screens or displays. Below are the most important things in a display when you buy it.
Check what is the resolution of your phone or screen. You put few phones next to each other with the same picture on display on all of them. Let the resolution of the screens on them be 8k, 4k, Full HD (high definition), HD (High definition). If you do not know it already this is the heirarchy in terms of greatness and quality 8k > 4k>Full HD> HD. Make 100 and if not 1000 people look at them from a 10 inch distance (normally we should hold our phone to atleast 10 inches of distance from our eyes) and ask them if they see a difference in quality and overwhelming majority of them won't be able to correctly spot the difference in 4k and 8k screens where as few of them will be able to spot difference between HD or Full HD against 4k or 8k.
So if humans see no value in getting a phone screen with a higher resolution then they won't spend extra money on it for no reason. They will settle with 4k or less. So the ceiling for a phone with a screen size of 6inch or less the ceiling to innovation is 4k.
Currently we have displays on laptops, monitors which go upto 244hz refresh rate and that itself is considered as an overkill. Even if we get screens with 500hz or more, people will easily settle for something around 500hz or less since more than that cannot be sensed anyway. It is like your body can absorb only certain amount of nutrients and anything more given to it will be simply thrown out of the system and ignored.
Color reproduction is already being offered to 100% sRGB and adobe RGB but even if we come to a new standard which offers a bigger color spectrum equal to what we see naturally then we have reached the ceiling and beyond that human eyes cannot perceive so here too the human perception is the limitation.
Currently we have screen offering 1 millisecond response time, even if tomorrow we get screens with higher response time like 1 nanosecond or less, there is a ceiling of human perception and beyond that all innovation will be of no use and no consumer will invest in it if it costs more and no company will invest in making it since most won't buy it.
I took the example of displays since I wanted to talk about one sense which is most used by humans and well admired too. eyes.
The closer we are getting to the human perception ceiling the slower the innovation is getting, some might say that most innovators are deliberately doing this to stretch their inevitable obsolescence.
Solution: Invest on enhancing human perception. Invest on human health. Most humans want to live longer, healthier, stronger and be better than the previous generation and it can all come through "Inner Engineering".
There is only one civilization which is known to have achieved the highest success in inner engineering and that is Bharatiya Civilization. If you have purchased a yoga matte then use it.
There is however no ceiling on human health or internal engineering (physical, mental, spiritual, conscious, sub conscious etc.,)
All products which cater to 5 human senses have a ceiling which is directly proportional to the ability of human perception.
Let us take one example of screens or displays. Below are the most important things in a display when you buy it.
- Resolution
- Refresh rate
- color reproduction and accuracy
- Response time
