Shimmer and Perception

Oriol discusses the concept of "shimmer" in StarCraft, a visual cue that skilled players can detect to identify invisible units.

This highlights the differences in perception and action rates between human players and AI, showcasing the unique challenges in simulating human-like vision in gaming.
