Zoopraxiscope |

||||||
| A forerunner of the modern movie 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. The principle was much the same as in earlier projection devices, such as the zoetrope. | ||||||
