When you compare a snowy picture of a forest to seeing the real thing, there are a few big differences. Real life is coupled with all of the other senses, for instance. Real life also has a full field of view, yet even when viewing an ocean through a pair of binoculars at night with your eyes half shut, you still seem to get more out of it than an HD shot of the ocean at noon.
I want to be able to take a camera, shoot as many seconds of a particular shot as I can without moving the reference frame, and then run the video through a computer program which would analyse the different motion patterns in the image: branches swaying, or waves rippling, and create an algorithm for a constant stream output of similar video, for as long as you want. You could finally put those lcd picture frames to good use, and give the viewer a better impression of what it was like in that spot at that moment.
