Bumping it up a notch, we could increase the number of pixels by upgrading to a better camera. We would be able to take larger pictures, with better definition and resolution. Let's go for a thousand pixels each way, or even a million.
We could also introduce colour! Instead of restricting ourselves to monochrome, we could go full Kodachrome. We'll bring in an RGB (red, green, blue) palette. Of course the amount of information - the number of permutations - would increase exponentially, but that's okay. Our gallery is ginormous.
As a result, we'd capture whole bodies as well as faces. And not only of people posed seated. We could have groups of people interacting, engaging in every conceivable activity - fishing, walking, cavorting - you name it.
You would feature there too - in fact, we would have you doing everything that you could possibly do, with every person or group, at any age, and in any environment. The gallery would contain it all. Every life that you could live. You are in essence just a subset of the universal set.
Imagine. Housed within the gallery there exist images of you having sex with everyone who ever lived, any combination of them, from every angle, in any position. The mind boggles, does it not?
That’s one hell of a thought experiment!
But wait, we're not done yet.
You see, there's no reason to limit ourselves to two dimensions. At the very least, we ought to extend it to three. Let's digitize in 3-D. In principle, we ought to be able to complete a plan, or pattern, for three-dimensional snapshots. With every (x, y, z) coordinate defined, we'd generate virtual holograms.
