Movies & TV Stimulate Sight and Hearing And? Mark Schubin, HPA “Visions of the Future,” 2009 February 17
Five Senses? discrimination “cocktail-party effect” • Hearing (audio) • loudness, pitch, duration, direction, depth, vector, rhythm, harmony, + • Sight (video) • brightness, color, shape, depth, transparency, vector, number, + • Feeling (Tingler & motion seats) • pressure, texture, moisture, fatigue, heat, thirst, hunger, nausea, pain, + • Smell & Taste (Odorama, CP 5+1) Mark Schubin, HPA “Visions of the Future,” 2009 February 17
Vision – We Already Have HD 1953 3-D TV glasses • Add 3-D • 3-D TV transmissions in 1928 • Increase color gamut • Increase dynamic resolution • Whyincreasetemporalorspatialresolution? • Post-production options • re-frame, stabilize, scan BG, slo-mo • Perception evolves Mark Schubin, HPA “Visions of the Future,” 2009 February 17

Human Perceptions Evolve “One of my neighbors was so much captivated that she sprung to her feet... and waited until the car disappeared before she sat down again” – Henri de Parville, 1895 1895 L’arrivée d’un train en gare de La Ciotat Mark Schubin, HPA “Visions of the Future,” 2009 February 17
Human Perceptions Evolve "It did not seem difficult to determine in the dark when the singer sang and when she did not. The writer himself was pretty sure about it until the lights were turned on again and it was discovered that [the singer] was not on the stage at all and that the new Edison alone had been heard.“ Pittsburgh Post 1919 Edison “Tone Test” Mark Schubin, HPA “Visions of the Future,” 2009 February 17

Resolution and Viewing Distance • 1 arc minute = 30 cycles per degree (cpd) • NTSC ≈ 480 active lines = 8° • 8° = 7.15 x the picture height (PH) • Similarly, 1080 lines = 18° = 3.16 x PH • 4K ≈ 36° = 1.54 x PH • UDTV: 4320 lines = 72° = 0.69 x PH • for 9’ viewing distance, screen height = 13’ Lechner Distance 9 feet Mark Schubin, HPA “Visions of the Future,” 2009 February 17 courtesy Warner Bros.

Problems with 30-cpd Theory higher-frequency content • 3 chartlinesbelow20/20 • April SMPTE Motion ImagingJournal: NHK “Research on Human Factors in UHDTV” • possible to distinguish between 78 and 156 cpd • 156 cpd is more than five times the 20/20 criterion • “realness” is a function of image detail • rises rapidly to 50 cpd • continues rising through 156 cpd • Bottom line: more rez works Mark Schubin, HPA “Visions of the Future,” 2009 February 17
