Alan Chalmers is a Professor of Visualisation at the University of Warwick - in this video he previews a capture and display system comprised of various commerical components in an innovative response to the replication of human eye and brain physiologcal systems. An interesting development is the taking of the paramaters for lighting situations from the real world into the computer graphics realm (where HDR has been worked into many computer games).

Since this report was made, Red Cameras have begun to develop the ability of the Epic Camera to capture two frames at the same time - one exposed in the bright areas, one exposed in the dark areas, to then combine the two to represent the physiological range of the human eye and brain system (about 20 stops of exposure or 14 orders of magnitude). One of the problems of capture is if this is then displayed in standard LED, LCD, Plamsa and LCD displays - then the actual captured visual range is hugely compressed. To see the true extent of HDR capture - you have to be able to view this on an HDR Display. However, this report tries to convey what you might see if you had £40,000 for an HDR Display.
