Description:

You can observe regular pictures from strange pictures. Zoetrope is an animation display that produces the illusion of motion via a displayed sequence of pictures; this device was invented in 1833. The traditional Zoetrope consists of a rotational disk and a strobe light. The disk has some plates that are pasted together showing sequential pictures and is rotated rapidly. The strobe light is emitted with synchronization to the rotation angle To display the animation. The Zoetrope has been improved and there are many kinds of the zoetropes in SIGGRAPH community: interactive zoetrope [Smoot et al. 2010], ZoeMatrope [Miyashita et al. 2016], and Magic Zoetrope [Yokota and Hashida 2018].
