Mostly during videogames as compared to TVs or movies

In: Technology

Answer 1

In real life when there is something very bright, your eyes can make it look like there is a glow around it.

For example, someone points a small bright led flashlight at you, the glow is bigger than the light source.

This glow is sometimes captured by the camera, other times its not, and they have to use special effects to add in the glow, or to make it look brighter.
