When I say 8k images I meant 8192x6144 images. At just over 200Mb per frame, and 24 frames in a single second of footage, the data piles up mighty fast!
Unless screen sizes in people's homes get much larger than the current 60"+ we have now, or even the 120"+ screens in FP systems, there's really not much need for anything more than 1920x1080. Hell, if you go to your local cinema and watch a movie, it's likely been film recorded at 1828x988 on to 35mm film. (Granted the original film had MUCH higher resolution.) Digital projectors in theatres are also only 2K.
4K projectors are just starting to see the light of day, and honestly I think in the 35mm world, 4K projectors and digital cameras will be the standard in the future. These holographic discs will likely help move digital capture and projection forward towards 4K.
But in the home? Why would you need that much resolution? Unless you have massive screen sizes, you simply don't need that much resolution.
