Very impressive. It reminded me of a demo from Adobe at MAX 2011 that showed promising results; it was more focused on eliminating defects from real images to produce a more aesthetic result. [this video]

The low resolution to high resolution image synthesis reminds me of the unblur tool that Adobe demoed during Adobe MAX in 2011. Here is the relevant clip if you're interested [this video]

The audience reaction was great. It reminds me of a similar audience reaction in this video of motion kernel de-blurring in Adobe Photoshop from 2011 (at about 1:17 in the video) [this video] Audience: "No way!" and "That's impossible!" and "How did it do that?"
