(hands are much better on mapping 3D objects than 2D eyes, one reason handsets should be hold in hands, not only seen on pictures, to be experienced) - even better, from a display, processing and memory point of view, some simple lines can make any brain skip both 1600x1200 resolution, 2D or 3D, to arouse the thoughts of the same thoughts, if both the pixel resolution of the eye and the visual center of the brain is bypassed, if one goes directly to the interpreting, associative center (some claim this is not always true, in that analysis I miss the aspect of if there is anything to associate with in that center) That is where the "artistic" way of looking at, producing things comes in, and the basic limitation is that one can only view some 3000-5000 pixels at full resolution due to the limitation of the eye (that is why soap-operas for NTSC must switch between backlighted facial closeups and larger views all the time, although it also helps for producing the stuff) That is, it is more a question of who and how the stuff is produced, than the real resolution. Ilmarinen Playboy is (was) funny, why do(did) they systematically blurr out exactly the details every normally experienced associating (fe)male has associated in his(her) brain?? (u-movie producers do the opposite) Some claim it because of the lack of earlier, existing, detailed, visual associations??? (not to forget the 3D hands-on experiences) Anyway, the newest flashmovies of Nokia are pretty good???
