Persistence of Vision

What is Persistence of Vision?
- Persistence of vision refers to the overall optical illusion of a moving image/ picture which generally is not moving. This is how most animation works as it is to show fluent movement of characters and objects. By showing us a range of different images within a short and or quick space of time, we will be receiving the illusion of movement. 

Thaumatrope and Roller:
- From making these, I can see that it does work as you have to move both of the images rather quickly before you can have the illusion that they are moving independently. This occurs as both images are being moved quickly enough which allows our eyes to see the two images as if though they were moving by themselves. 


Here are two video examples of Persistence of Vision:
