Actually I think that 8K will bring back photo realistic video in higher frame rates because its resolution is so clear and if the image is large enough (although not truly 3D) will feel like you are actually there. Not suited for dramas or maybe narratives, but really great for Nat Geo and Discovery! Sports too. Now the wide shot of the football field on an 85 inch 8k TV will truly feel like one of the seats.
Three years ago I saw 8K at the NHK booth and said I would skip 4K altogether and go straight to 8K. Looks like that is coming true since Samsung just announced the WLED 65 inch 8K TV for $5000.
I also think only gaming will take advantage of virtual headsets….I’m not walking around town with a headset on. My large phone screen will be just fine thank you. So same with 3D….probably ok in theaters where everyone wears the glasses, but probably not in the home.
What about 360? How in the world do I know where you want me to look? However put up a weather camera on a tower and give me 360 views and that works! But for storytelling? Not sure I’ve seen compelling examples that make it worthwhile for narratives.
