Seeing... a new way.
We are delving into an era where sharper images are becoming the norm and we are constantly developing newer technologies to fulfill more intensive tasks.
The question we should be asking ourselves is - once we have reached the limits of our senses - i.e a camera resolution reaching that of the human eye, what is to be after that?. After all, if a camera does take a 576 megapixel image, it could mean we may not be able to tell the difference between reality and captured image. Scary stuff when you think about it, especially at the exponential rate tech is moving.
Science of human eye resolution study (this is not my work):

Question:
What do we need gigantic, monster resolution images for?
Once suggestion could be, if you had a 15.9 gigapixel image, say on a billboard which could support that resolution, the image will be crystal clear from 100mm away and will retain that quality from 100metres away and beyond. Which ultimately could, in the long run, push design into new and exciting areas which have possibly not been discovered.
New billboards which look super crisp from afar?
New dynamics into design work?
