We were successfully able to achieve the following result:
We achieved an upscale of 240p to 480p at 25fps on a wide range of Android phones.
We achieved an upscale of 360p to 720p at 25fps on an iPhone 11, thanks to the performing neural processing unit in the iPhone 11.
We established an MVP, and a Marketing and Sales strategy, and developed all supporting material, and reached out to a first set of parties to pitch the ENHANCEplayer concept.
We prepared for a public demonstration at NAB, but unfortunately had to replace this by a virtual NAB with a pre-recorded demonstration. The same holds for IBC.
We prepared a final MVP definition, including roadmap going forward.
We collected feedback from real users.
Unfortunately, we were not able to overcome the technical difficulties on Android devices, and after trying a variety of potential solutions, we concluded that the technology is not yet ready for this solution.
We've put together a selection of recommendations for future research, as we see technology developing in the next two to three years that should enable this technology to be successful and have a strong market impact.
