34 Discussion & Future Work Flicker *This video is for illustration purposes. When a saccade occurs on human's eyes or when human blink, people sometimes perceive flicker. Tradeoffs between the strength of the system’s resistance to flicker and an acceptable shutter speed (slowness). Not suitable for extended viewing of media? Optimization of patterns of division?

35 Discussion & Future Work Quality of the Display The brightness of each pixel becomes 1/n of the normal projection. But we need enough brightness of the screen to affect our system into photograph. Normal Ours Time Brighter projectors? N times division 1/N brightness Observed
