A view of Shanghai via BigPixel's high-resolution image
A Chinese company has created photos with such high resolution that you can zoom from thousands of meters away to see people's facial expressions. The photo's resolution is a mind-blowing 195 gigapixels - more than 2,000 times as precise as those captured by an ordinary camera.
