Abstract 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/s, 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. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
