Our eyes and brain doesn't see frames, they see changes in light intensity. There are cameras that try to mimic this behavior, they're called event cameras. I think they're going to see much more use in robotics in the future, but at the moment they're mainly (or only) used in research.
Event cameras are certainly interesting, but they have their own set of challenges. I do not believe they’re a better choice in any general sense, but can certainly deliver some impressive performance.
