Detail was lost, that is the law. Raisr makes up detail based on some learned likelihood of that detail being there.&lt;p&gt;You could add any image to Raisr and it will make up more detail, you could let it loop over the same picture over and over and it will probably add infinite detail, or up to some fixed point.&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#x27;s cool is that for many pictures, it&amp;#x27;s good enough at making up detail that the result is credible.</text></comment>

How does it work in the field? For instance, I can imagine it being a JS library that can be downloaded and cached for client-side use, or it could be deployed as an Android module that the Android browser can use. But I don&amp;#x27;t know where to go looking for this because I don&amp;#x27;t use Google+, have no photos on it, and wouldn&amp;#x27;t be sure whether or not I was seeing it.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.blog.google&amp;#x2F;products&amp;#x2F;google-plus&amp;#x2F;saving-you-bandwidth-through-machine-learning&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.blog.google&amp;#x2F;products&amp;#x2F;google-plus&amp;#x2F;saving-you-band...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
