What is the resolution of human eye?

Reading Time: < 1 minute

A 576-megapixel resolution means that in order to create a screen with a picture so sharp and clear that you can’t distinguish the individual pixels, you would have to pack 576 million pixels into an area the size of your field of view. You only see high resolution in a very small area in the center of your vision, called the fovea. You have a blind spot where your optic nerve meets up with your retina. You move your eyes around a scene not only to take in more information, but to correct for these imperfections in your visual system. Learn more at https://curiosity.im/EyeMegapixels
