At the end of the scene, he tells the computer to "give him a hard copy" of the enhanced image. In the famous scene, Deckard (Harrison Ford), repeatedly asks a computer to zoom and enhance a photograph. However, one of the earliest known examples of computer involvement, as well as the first to use the term "enhance", is from the 1982 Ridley Scott science fiction film Blade Runner (below right). Realistic film enhancement situations, where the exposures get blurrier as they are enlarged, have formed the plots of several films, most notably the 1966 thriller Blow-Up. An early example of improbably blowing up a photo from film negative occurred in the 1948 film Call Northside 777 (below left).
If you don’t own an Omni TV (or Fire TV Cube), here’s a look at eight other ways to do video calls on your TV.It is unknown what film or television show first featured the ability for computers to zoom and enhance a photograph or video. Each TV comes with four years of security and software updates.
Earlier in 2021, Zoom and Amazon announced that you could connect a webcam to the USB port of a Fire TV Cube and do two-way video calls via the streaming media device on any TV.Īmazon released the Omni TV in September 2021 as its first Amazon-designed smart TV that uses the Fire TV software as its operating system. This is the first time that Zoom has released a version of its app for software that runs directly on a smart TV, but it’s not the first Zoom/Fire TV integration.
When Digital Trends asked about this limitation, an Amazon spokesperson told us that “we found the best customer experience utilized the built-in microphones and internal speakers to eliminate potential background echo and customer confusion on selecting speaker sources.” They also said that they would welcome customer feedback on this aspect of the Zoom experience.

After the app has been added to the Omni TV, you’ll be able to log into Zoom or access it as a guest, join a meeting using your remote, or say, “Alexa, join my Zoom meeting.”
