Algorithm creates vector art from pixels.
An algorithm created by Microsoft researchers upscales 8-bit graphics and converts it into vector graphics, able to be upscaled to any size.

Video: ‘100 Yen’ Trailer.
100 Yen is a historical documentary about the evolution of arcades and the culture surrounding it - from the birth of arcades to the game centers that still thrive today. With a predominant focus on the three major arcade genres, Shooting games, Fighting games and Rhythm games, 100 Yen explores the culture and evolution of arcades through the past and present. All filmed on location in Japan, Canada, and the USA featuring interviews with industry professionals, game programmers and designers, casual gamers and gaming icons.
100 Yen is currently seeking funding for the final stages of post-production. A minimum $15 donation gets you a digital copy of the film when it’s finished - check out the indiegogo page here to contribute.
I can’t wait to see Mario clean this up.
