That dude with the 10 frame per second camera was pretty late to the game.


Heh, yeah. The point of a 1D wasted.

This is a dupe of http://videosift.com/video/TED-Imaging-at-a-trillion-frames-per-second if anyone wants to call it.

Won't kill it so that the other vid can get the votes.

It's a pretty neat idea, but 100% limited to static content: for a given enhancement (say, 4x) each pixel has to be refreshed four times faster, which means a 60 frames-per-second display will fall down to 12FPS. Even a fancy 120Hz display will be as low as 24 frames per second, which means you'll have massive amount of jerkiness and/or ghosting any time animated content is displayed, even for something as simple as a scrolling page.

In fact in current LCD tech, it is the refresh rate that is the main limitation, much more than maximum resolution.

I think a lot of this is an effect of the camera. At 30 frames per second and 8 inch cars, they seem even faster than they really are.

I've been involved (to varying degrees) with slot car racing several times over the last 45 years, and each time I come back to it, the cars have vastly increased performance. When I first started, cars managed to top out at just a bit over 20 mph (actual speed, not scaled). Last time was some 15 years ago, and the cars at that time were running probably 35-40 mph. Given the apparent size of this track, I'd be very surprised if these cars were managing twice that. 60 mph seems much more believable, and -plenty- fast enough to be a challenge.
