Take a 13 megapixel HD cam, and shoot at 60 fps. Capturing anything in nature will put on a very colourful organic display that's very appealing to the eye. A close up of a bee on a flower upscaled and in great detail running on a 120 or better yet 240hertz, even in slow motion will most likely be the nicest thing one has seen all day.
Yesterday I was in Futureshop and I was checking out the new 4K TV sets. We're talking 4 times the pixel density of the standard 1080P screens. Granted the file format is proper, we can see the pores on an athletes face, in unrealistic, yet very real ways.
What's breathtaking is the artistry of life, or art that's well done. The technology that can display this in motion, in ways that is comparable to bionic vision, in many cases turns out to be the preference beyond satisfaction.
It's been played but the first time I seen Avatar for the first time, and it was the first time I tried that kind of 3D, I think I might have paused a number of times, which could pass as breath taking.
