Phenakistoscope - Research

The Phenakistoscope was created in 1832 by Joseph Plateau, a Physicist from Belgium.

The Phenakistoscope is made from a disc fixed to a handle, so that it is allowed to spin freely.

The disc has a series of images drawn around the outside, and these show the graduation of some kind of movement. These images are each separated by slots.

The Phenakistoscope works by being held up to a mirror and spun. The images are then viewed in the mirror through the slots, which creates the illusion of movement.
