I saw this back in '90, showing an aquarium, zooming into a goldfish, zooming into its eyeball, and then zooming into the Earth. I always wondered what happened to the tech. The company was IFS, IIRC.

Sounds like a demo for a multi-resolution image file format rather than something to do with the fractal compression per se.

nah, the guy that demoed it talked about iterated fractals (hence the IFS company name). And this was EARLY 90's, a black and white laptop.
