There's something about this style of portraits that makes the people in them feel so much closer and more real to me than, say, a Greek statue. I also appreciate all the extra detail that can be seen in these and not so much in other

While it's true modern-day South Koreans don't use Chinese characters (hanja [1]) at all in their day-to-day life, there are still a few places where they show up, as it was the most common writing system in Korean up to the late

Humans are perfectly capable of driving on racing simulators using a flat screen though, where binocular vision makes no difference. And Tesla cars have more than one camera on them. The front-facing camera is actually an array of 3 cameras
