I could see a future where this works really well. It doesn't seem to be the case right now though.

The "super resolution" showcased in the video seemed almost identical to adjusting the "sharpness" in any basic photo editing software. That is to say, perceived sharpness goes up, but actual conveyed details stays identical.

Note that YouTube is really bad for these demos due to the re-compression, even in zoomed in stills.

Allegedly the new one plus phone does this trick in real time as well as up sampling and interframe motion interpretation. Mrwhostheboss seems impressed, but I don't really trust his yet judgment on these things.

The iPhone has also done this, for a few years now. It was, surprisingly, a one sentence mention in the keynote/release notes.

Whatever special sauce the Nvidia shield uses is honestly incredible. Real time upscaling of any stream, and not just optimized for low res source, its like a force multiplier on content that is already HD. Supposedly the windows drivers do it as well but the effect seems less noticeable to me in my tests
