Suggestion for website guides
Posted: 16 Aug 2019, 09:04
As a new comer to the topic and science of vision and monitors and the myriad affects associated with it, I have a suggestion for some of the guides on the website explaining different effects.
Perhaps I missed some crucial explanation near the beginning, but when discussing MPRT, I feel as if a lot of the guides assume that the reader already knows what persistence-of-vision is and how it functions. When starting out, I personally didn't know the first thing about eyes and the retina and how any of that worked, so I didn't really understand a lot of concepts being explained until I went out and did some more research.
Also, I find it interesting that explanations of persistence-of-vision and motion blur that are very straight forward and simple are hard to find.
I actually feel kind of stupid, because I feel like this is some kind of common knowledge about eyes that I some how missed growing up and never learned, so everyone assumes it's just known, lol.
Maybe it would be a good idea to include a basic overview at the beginning of the guides that explains what the MPRT phenomenon is and why it exists in the first place? (i.e. the photoreceptive cells in our eye's retinas hold image data for X milliseconds and require time to reset or "refresh", therefore making moving objects streak when "dragged across" our retinas, rather than being held stationary in the center of our vision.)
