I think we find slo-mo interesting because it lets us experience the very passage of present time and events slowly, rather than just perceived passage which is after the fact.So we get to see things in a way we haven't before, which would presumably be more memorable and also would slow down perception of time passing....
- soylentcola 12y agoI think of it like zooming in on an image so that it's easier to process information in a higher resolution. Slow motion is like zooming in so that you can interpret things on a higher resolution as well (just on a different axis). Scrubbing back and forth across video is like interactive zoom where you can gather more precise information about a particular subset of the total data and compare to the whole.
