motion blur in computer graphics

Motion blur in computer graphics is a visual effect that simulates the appearance of moving objects or a moving camera, where objects look smeared or streaked along their path. It mimics how, in real life, fast movement causes objects to appear blurred due to the exposure time of a camera sensor or eye. In digital rendering, applying motion blur enhances realism by conveying speed and movement, making scenes look more natural. It is achieved by averaging multiple positions of objects over time, creating a seamless transition that suggests rapid motion within a single frame.
