[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1062917, member: 389824"] I remember a story regarding NHK and its early development of UHD where they had started at first on resolutions for what would be regarded as 8K back in the mid 00's. Because of the sheer resolution size, nearly all equipment were prototypes that were often modified from what was available at the time, requiring hard drives that could handle large read/write speeds with large capacities to match (AVC/H.264 was only starting to find its feet). So with a specially adapted camera that could record 7680x4320 video (16 times the pixel of that for 1080i/p) set up on a car they drove about Tokyo to capture some sample video at this resolution. When they finished doing some editing they did a first in house demonstration to other NHK employees by using a projector (again a prototype) that could display the recorded resolution on a wall, I think the effective display size was 110 inches but I'm not fully sure. Anyway this first demonstration left a number of viewers ending up with motion sickness albeit brought on from the reverse of what is normally the case - those watching the drive around Tokyo video had their brain thinking they were moving while their body sensed it was stationary, while usually getting motor sickness in a vehicle comes from the opposite way round! When I read about that the first time, that story convinced me that it had to be good, and surely there was little point trying to go beyond that except for some very specialised cases - well it seems that NHK is already working on development for 16K resolution!
