So, how fast do the frames need to change to create the illusion of motion? The science says that 16 FPS (frames per second) is enough. Use fewer, and the brain will perceive them as a series of discrete images displayed one after the other. More frames, the better the illusion works.

For example, the standard frame rate is 24 FPS for cinema and 30 FPS for television. It can go over 100 FPS for games, depending on the graphics engine, as they often need to display objects moving at high speed.^[1]
