This [1] was also done in 2016, are those projects related ? (apart from the idea)

Interesting. Years ago there was an emulator that would do a similar thing for arcade games. I remember it working on Pac-Man. edit: It looks like it was only for Pac-Man and very different than this: <a href="http://pacifi3d.retrogames.com/pacifi3d/" rel="nofollow">http://pacifi3d.retrogames.com/pacifi3d/</a><p>I think it is equally interesting that they got this on steam. I think think there are other emulators on there, are there (aside from things like classic games sold by the owners of the ip.)
I wonder if they could combine this with the upsampling or vectorization of the sprites/textures. The results illustrated by researchers looked great.
I was hoping this was more of a 3d first person perspective ala Ready Player One / Oasis style. I would so throw money at that. Playing through Zork in VR First person style would be fun.
