Low Complexity, High Fidelity: The Rendering of INSIDE
In this 2016 GDC Europe session, PlayDead's Mikkel Gjoel and Mikkel Svendsen detail the techniques used to achieve high visual fidelity in the context of the uncompromisingly simplistic aesthetic of INSIDE, Playdead's follow-up to the critically acclaimed…

looks like cuttlefish spends energy to change colour/texture, but not to sustain it, like e-ink display

LOL. Since 2007, I remember multiple presentations on major security conferences, with videos, including US-based ones, of people going through Border Control in US, UK, EU etc. with completely fake biometric passports (invalid signatures, issued by fictional countries, etc etc.) — and this memo says that at least US CBP *still*, in 2018, does not have software to verify them at all! This explains things %)
