An Application of High Frame Rate TV

Here's a scenario that can warrant it.

You have a dance hall where you want couples to be able to learn at their own pace. So, each couple has a pair of headsets. One of them has control over the audio and video. The audio is easy - you could do FDMA or TDMA. The video is tricky - because, you want the people to be able to see everything else in the room, but, when they look at the one TV set on the wall, each couple needs to be able to control the content. How? The headsets are transparent 1/10 of the time. So, in one second, you can get each viewer about 20 frames if you do a 200 frame per second rate. That way, it's pretty social and uncluttered. Each headset will be transparent in sync with the channel of course. The problem - you effectively get only 1/10 of the light into the eye that you normally get.
