To be fair, movies are 24fps!
So movies might be too low framerate for a chicken, but 60+ fps game footage'd probably be alright.
Ima have to try and see how they react.
But chickens process 120-200 fps so I don't think that'd do the job to show them motion. (Which makes sense, they fly and have to dodge stuff in flight at high speeds)
I may have been mistaken about what hz refers to..? Not sure. Don't… think so..? I know its refresh rate, i just don't know how thats different.
Also fwiw some movies seem jittery to me.. so maybe we need more than 24 as a normal allotment. :)
Hz is cycles per second. It's used in monitors because monitors are refreshing their screen with a new image each cycle. Fps is frames per second, it's more about the media itself. Hz to mean fps makes a certain sense though
Oh yeah, hz and fps are the same thing here! I mostly said 24fps because you can display a 24fps movie on a higher refresh rate display and it'll still be 24fps (hz is more usual when talking about what the display itself does, fps for the content it's showing).
And yeah, I'm more targeting "minimum to look like motion" than I am "perfectly smooth looks", heh. :3
Super fair and was mostly and idk situation o just know what we see as motion they typically don't and so was a bit confused.
All good think we are on the same page :)
