How many "FPS" can the eye see at?!


Question: I'm not sure if thats the right way to say it but im not exactly sure what other units to use for how fast the eve sees at but the essential question is how if a camera were to be able to see at the same rate as the eye how many fps would it be

About 30, but for things like games 60+ is ideal so they blur together a little.(unless its a newer game w motion blur built in then 30 is fine till it dips)

If I remember correctly, the human eye can't detect more then 25-30 FPS, which is why TV's run at that speed. When a computer runs higher then that, it makes more room for FPS drops, and smooths everything out, but your eye can't directly pick up anything above that, you just see the 30 FPS or so.

It varies across the eye, and between the sexes.
It also varies with luminance, colour, contrast, and area of the flickering source.
18 -120 c/s!

In eyes, it's usually referred to by the FFF: flicker fusion frequency. The cyclic rate at which a flickering light source appears constant.

Peripheral vision is much better than central vision at detecting flicker, and females appreciably better than males.
So if the ladies working at their desks notice the fluorescents flickering overhead, and complain, the male office manager will come in, look directly at the tubes, and see no flicker at all.
And they'll both be right.
