I had a quick look about to see what the eye/brain can actually perceive and the below is interesting. We can appreciate frame rates far higher than I thought.
A pilot identifying a plane displayed for 1/220th of a second (reddit link) is pretty impressive.
Yeah, and those tests were to comprehend the image to the point of identifying an air craft. If you're just trying to identify motion, you could probably perceive much higher frame rates.
There is no proven limit of how many frames per second our eyes can see, and I'm sure you would be able to discern a difference between 144hz and 1khz. You may not be able to fully comprehend each still image, but the procession would almost certainly appear smoother, especially for fast moving objects.
This is probably good enough in practice, although you can see differences even beyond 1000Hz by observing the phantom array effect of flickering signals during fast eye movement.
Nonsense. We wouldn't cope with it in the same sense we can't cope with the millions of colors in a 24-bit color space. Do we distinguish each individual color? No, but he full spectrum enables continuous color flow.
When it comes to such a high framerate, the upgrade is akin from going from 256-color palette-swapping VGA to 24-bit HD, or ather from stop motion to realistic motion blur.
