Phenakistoscope



How it works:
The phenakistoscope uses the persistence of motion. This technique creates an illusion of movemnet.
History:
In 1832, Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau and his sons introduced the phenakistoscope. It was also invented independently in the same year by Simon von Stampfer.
Interisting Facts:
The machine is actually not being modified between frames, but is just being spun, the result is an effect of motion.
