Praxinoskop

The system consists of partial mirrors and a
strip of pictures. A strip of pictures is inserted
on a circular surface. Partial mirrors are placed
in the middle of this surface. The number
of pictures on the strip of pictures and the
nuımber of mirrors in the partial mirror set are
equal. As the system rotates, the fast motion of
the reflected pictures creates a moving image
illusion. Cinema is based on this fundamental
principle.
