...I'd put these in a product! I am an RC nutzoid, and I rubberbanded this on an electric car, and drove around the house while sitting in the living room watching my TV!!! It was great fun. First, powerslides and watching the suspension work were very cool. Then I set up some old TMNT figures (Don and Splinter to be specific) and ran them over, drove under and around furniture, all that. At one point I got interference on my car's radio but the video was still coming through and I helplessly watched it crash itself until the batteries fell out of the camera's pack and the screen went to snow. Classic.
I'm DYING to put this in a plane or heli, but the range is garbage. It was nice to discover that even though the antenna is a dish-looking thing, it doesn't act very directional. Works great at nearly all orientations. I'm a software guy; wish I knew how to amplify the signal. If anyone can boost the range on this puppy, let's hear how!!!!
Anyways, a big stinky poo on you to all readers who think this is a non/. posting. You are a killjoy. Go read manpages.
Dude. The point is this. When an object is moving fast across the screen, it has some delta that it chunks between on each frame. I don't care how fast the framerate is, I can make an object move fast enough that it makes a large jump in space each frame. That looks like crap. The faster the framerate, and the smaller the deltas, the closer to real motion blur you get.
Motion blur techniques that exist today either suck, only work for certain conditions like heli blades, or only apply to making framerate limited situations like theater movies look reasonable.
I can always make something fly by so fast that it only exists in the center of your screen once. Sure it was only there for 1/800 of a second, but it sure doesn't look like it would in real life.
