Back in the '80s, Douglas Trumbull (Silent Running, Brainstorm)was promoting a many-more-frames-per-second technology--like the one you're describing--called Showscan. My brother saw a demonstration in a Chucky Cheese/pizza theatre type place and said it was amazing. (Brainstorm, with its pre-digital vision of virtual reality, was also a teaser for the process.) Trumbull honestly felt that high-speed film was the future of the industry. I'm not sure exactly when he gave up trying to promote it.
Yeah, I have heard of such high speed projectors being demonstrated. Would love to see one.
Just because a technology is 100 years old (still pretty damn new really) doesn't make it out dated.
