✦ Synopsis

This article investigates the effect of spatial disintegration in moving images at high object velocities: when the visual system interprets the same object in consecutive fields as different entities. For a 50-Hz display this effect is found to roughly occur in the velocity range of 20-45 degrees/% and to depend marginally on the resolution level of the objects involved. A more important influence is that of the trajectory length of the object: the maximum velocity at which no disintegration occurs is found to depend on it in a linear fashion. A simple model is presented that describes the visual appearance of the disintegration effect as well as explains the data quantitatively.
