You focus on a point moving your eyes ever so fast, your brain discounts all frames between eye movements. This is a neat trick from the christmas lectures that proves it, try looking in the mirror and see your eyes move even slightly. Your brain is constantly analysing a large CIRCULAR input moving the focus to areas of interest dependeing on educated context and especially movement. You can focus on one point and sort of focus on another but both suffer from brain overload, if you do. > > You can't fill your vision with widescreen unless you lose the edges. > > IMAX is the most immersive experience I've had at a cinema purely > > because it is 4:3. > > That depends on where you sit, doesn't it?

Ironically, often I prefer films on EDTV than DVD/BLURAY because there aren't any black lines. I'm not sure if they cut off the edges or get a bit more from the Master copy. Considering your field do you know what caused that idiosyncrasy? -- Kc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
