Stretching for miles along England's Devonshire coast, between the sea and a patchwork of hills, lies the shingly expanse of Slapton Sands.  Humpback whales  can occasionally be spotted offshore. A thatched pub at the far end sells fish and chips in an oak-beamed bar. And each year, at dawn on 27 April, hundreds of dead soldiers rise up out of the waves and march across the fields.

WHAT IS THE RESOLUTION OF THE HUMAN EYE?

                From - Shorit               Edited by - Amal Udawatta Explore the fascinating concept of the human eye's resolution, estimated at around 576 megapixels, and understand its unique, dynamic visual capabilities. Learn  | By  Leonardo Cavazzana The resolution of the human eye is often compared to digital cameras and is estimated to be around 576 megapixels. However, this comparison is not straightforward due to the eye’s complex and dynamic nature. Unlike a sensor, the eye has a non-uniform resolution, with the highest density of receptors in the central area called the fovea. This means the eye perceives details with high resolution only in the center of its field of view, while peripheral vision is much less detailed. So, what is the resolution of the human eye? Let’s take a closer look at resolution, megapixels and how it all relates to the human eye. What is Resolution and How Is it Measured? Resolution is a term that can have different meanings when used in differ
