The human eye doesn't move smoothly, but in short quick moves with pauses between them.The reason is to prevent the CGA snow that would result if the VRAM was being accessed at the same time as the image is drawn

@foone @lurkjay saccades are one of my favorite examples for how human vision really doesn't work the way people think it does 😂

@foone it can move smoothly though! But only via the autonomous function to track something while your head is moving. Which is why you can move around but keep looking at the same spot. We just didn't evolve a way to use that same skill for looking around as well, probably not that advantageous for survival. Birds do a similar thing but with their necks since they don't have eyes that can move within their sockets.
