the upscaling technologies for standard DVDs will get so sophisticated to render even Blu Ray obsolete.
This is an alternate strategy for getting to the same place whereby the computer chip makes educated "guesses" what the data should be that isn't there on the standard disk and displays a picture based on those increasingly smarter guesses, versus having the missing data actually stored on and read from the disk. The guesses could get so good that almost no one would even notice they were still guesses.
As a math problem this is certainly not impossible, and places like NASA deal regularly with photographic data invariably of lower resolution than they would like. Remember the effort underway to clean up the low res photos Hubble created before its new camera "fixed" the mirror curvature problem.
