O2-02: ZOETROPE AND PRAXINOSCOPE
- ID Code: O2-02
- Purpose: Individual demonstration of persistence of vision.
- Description: The zoetrope and the praxinoscope are moving picture toys dating from the 19th century. The zoetrope is rotated while you view it through the slits on the side, so that a series of still pictures is converted into an apparently moving picture strip; the praxinoscope is viewed from an angle via a rotating mirror.
