Zoetrope is a device which is used to create an illusion of action. It was used in the 19th century to find ways to make pictures come to life. People would draw pictures on strips and place it in the zoetrope and spin it. The zoetrope has a cylinder shaped bowl which has slits around it. When you look into it the illusion is that the pictures are actually moving.
Persistence of visison refers to the phenomenon where the retina retains an picture for a spilt second after the image was actually seen.It lends itself to animation by adopting the illusion of motion when we look at images in closely timed sequence to one another.
The Zoetrope was invented by an inventor name William Horner in england 1834.William called it the " Daedalum" which means (the wheel of the devil).The zoetrope didnt become popular until the 1860's where it was patented by both makers in England and America.The American developer William F. Lincolin named his toy the "Zoetrope" which means ' wheel of life'.
