It's for recording videos I'd expect.
Although nobody wants to watch a video like that either.

What if it boosted your frame rate and saved your battery?[1]
The blurry areas could be rendered at lower resolution then blurred to the final screen. I read an article where a 2D side scroller used this technique to good effect on its frame rates.
3D would require a serious mathematician to make the various edges match well enough to not be offensive.

This looks far more computationally expensive than without shaders.
That side scroller benefited because it could just draw the background/foreground sprites at a lower resolution before blurring. You wouldn't be able to get that luxury easily with a 3D game.

I can't speak for all games, but I find my fragment shaders dominate. That is compute power related directly to the number of pixels rather than polygons.
If I can render objects in the distance at 1/3 the spatial resolution, that is 1/9th the fragment shading, times a much reduced texture bandwidth since I'll be using a lower resolution mipmap.
I'll still have to composite it back in to the full resolution frame, but if that operation is faster than my fragment computations it would win.

I think a pretty great sandbox game could be made out of this effect alone.
Is it just me, or does the video jerk every second?
This one does the same: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQbUyO9goxM&feature=relmf...

Nice work!
Very nice! I doubt my old MacBook pro can tolerate much more in minecraft, sad to say.
The nicer parts of shading are from the mods that he is using (in modified form), http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/120261-125-glsl-shaders-... and http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/940974-125sonic-ethers-u...
