> No, even that has a limit. We're getting to the point where humans will be unable to perceive additional improvements in resolution.

Not all improvements come with only resolution as the change. It's entirely possible (if somewhat less feasible, based on what I think) that we might start encoding movies as full 3D landscapes, with some preset positions for each scene (e.g. where the director wants the"camera"), but that people could roam around to view it from different aspects at their discretion. This is less or more interesting in certain performances, but imagine some great war film, and you can flit around to see the different people storming the beach or crossing no-man's land. What if you decide to make your own run and see if you would have made it or not?

3D headsets are just now breaking into the mainstream. That's a major shift in medium if taken advantage of, and it could easily create use cases where the media is many multiples of it's current size.
