satellite – the situation is more complicated, and<br />

motion impairments are more likely to be introduced.<br />

In conversion to a rate that is related to 24 Hz by<br />

a ratio of larger integers, the frequency of the repeated<br />

pattern falls. For example, converting to 75 Hz involves<br />

the fraction 25 ⁄8 ; this creates the sequence {3, 3, 3, 3,<br />

3, 3, 3, 4}, which repeats three times per second.<br />

Converting to 76 Hz involves the fraction 17 ⁄6 ; this<br />

creates the sequence {2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3}, which repeats<br />

four times per second. The susceptibility of the human<br />

visual system to motion artifacts peaks between 4 and 6<br />

beats per second. The temporal artifacts introduced<br />

upon conversion to 75 Hz or 76 Hz are likely to be<br />

quite visible. Motion estimation and motion-compensated<br />

interpolation could potentially be used to reduce<br />

the severity of these conversion artifacts, but these<br />

techniques are highly complex, and will remain out of<br />

reach for desktop computing for several years.<br />

When 24 Hz material is to be displayed in a computing<br />

environment with wide viewing angle and good<br />

ambient conditions, the best short-term approach is to<br />

choose a display rate that is intimately related to 24 Hz.<br />

Displaying at 60 Hz reproduces the situation with video<br />

display, and we know well that the motion portrayal is<br />

quite acceptable. However, 60 Hz is somewhat low as<br />

a refresh rate in a high ambient brightness, and flicker<br />

could result. Obviously, 72 Hz is ideal for motion<br />

portrayal of film; however, a refresh rate of 72 Hz is too<br />

low to unconditionally meet ergonomics requirements<br />
