How Independent are HDR, WCG, and HFR in Human Visual Perception and the Creative Process?

UHD, HDR, WCG, HFR are bound to be powerful creative tools with which to engage the viewer. Such acronyms (and would-be logos) could also prove to be influential marketing aids. But how justified would standards bodies, content creators, and distributors be in thinking of each feature as independent? — This paper will provide principles of applied vision science to quantify the extent of interdependence of luminance, field—of-view, color perception, and temporal sensitivity. This paper will also identify situations in which luminance, color, and frame rate should perhaps be considered in concert rather than as independent creative dials.
