Zoopraxiscope |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| A forerunner of the modern film projector, the zoopraxiscope was an invention of the 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The zoopraxiscope used light to project sequential images from a rotating glass disc, producing the illusion of animation, although Muybridge used sequences of photographs rather than the drawings shown here. The principle was much the same as in earlier projection devices, such as the zoetrope. | ||||||
