My father (Bryce Bayer) was known for the Bayer filter, which survives to this day as the dominant approach to capturing color images in all digital cameras, and Bayer dithering, which didn't. Last time I saw it used was as decoration on DEC computer boxes.
In grad school, I went "down the street" to MIT to hear him speak. I overheard some students disparaging this dithering as primitive. Hey, you try living in the past and seeing the future!

I love HN for its healthy love of history.
