Caltech’s Carver Mead began working seriously on this in 1967. A few decades in he focused on vision specifically. 25 years ago he and others established Foveon, Inc. which basically modeled the retina in semiconductors.

Does anybody remember the Flowvon image processor ?

They eye is efficient because only a small area (about 2 cm in diameter at 1 M) has high resolution. An 8K television has the pixel count needed to provide that high resolution anywhere the eye looks. The problem is, where is the eye looking? That is where the brain identifies what is of interest, so we can direct that high resolution there. The brain fills in a lot of our surroundings, giving us the impression we see everything in high resolution. If you look at the camera on your phone, how much of the screen can you read - not much. An 8K TV could turn off most of it's pixels by tracking viewers eye, and providing high resolution only where they are looking. If a space based camera is looking for submarines, use a low resolution scan, where a submarine may only represent 10 pixels. Monitor that data with AI to direct the high resolution camera to anything that may be a sub. Identifying how the human brain does that, with the low resolution data it gets, would be a good start.
