A codec for physical reality?

I don't know what that would even look like.

There was a guy who did that, right?

He printed a small cone, right, like the ones we distribute as goodies, and inside he put an RFID chip, which was his way of playing a movie, right?

And so he put this on the RFID player, and when he put that, it was playing, like, the last Star Wars and so on.

So instead of having, like, DVD boxes, he had, like, VLC cones all around, and he plugged that, and that was, like, physical objects.

So there are several stages, right?

The first stage is to get from an address, right?

Which is the type of URL to give you a byte of streams, right?

So this would be, for example, HTTP, file, DVD, right?

To give the pass to the media and give you a stream of data.

Yeah, because what people don't realize is that the compression on video and audio is...

100 times, right?

Like, people don't realize how compressed we do, right?

For audio, you move, you compress by, when you go from normal audio to MP3, you compress by 10 times, right?

When you move to video, you need 100 times, 200 times, right?

So you need to remove all the details that you don't care about, because all the compressions that we do, and that's very important, people forget about that, is to be viewed by humans, right?

So

all the codecs for audio mimic basically how your ear works, right?

And a lot of things about like the response on the ear and same for your eyes, right?
