Before revision: Ocular microtremor and visual supersampling In 2014, Simon Cooke - an engineer in Microsoft's Xbox Advanced Technology group - proposed that ocular microtremors might be used by the eye in combination with the retinal cone cell's directional response to light, using the edge-triggered behavior of center-on/surround-off / center-off/surround-on retinal glial cells to super-sample the visual field at higher fidelity than either the Rayleigh criterion or the distribution of cones on the retina allows via simple light capture.
