Turning a z-buffer into a "how badly should something be JPEG compressed" mask, giving this interestingly "robotic myopia" view (The effect is a lot better on landscape on mobile / big screen)

I thought the compression ratio of JPEG was a global setting and not something that could be varied for different parts of the image. Does this approach actually produce smaller files than other video compression techniques? Or is it done just to produce that effect?

It's quite hard for me to find good clips that work well with this effect, the closest 2nd best I could find was this bird/tern flying off a post

Sadly I don't own anything that can do depth maps, so these were all predicted by Depth-Anything-V2, The prior art to this idea came from this thing I watched ages ago and always wanted to do it with real images: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuNgLZiWkm8

@benjojo could it theoretically be done in real time using something like the camera sensors of a mdoern smartphone

@benjojo I think you could do this with the jpeg damage OFX and the depth mask tool in davinci resolve.
