ANIMATION l l A collection of images or pictures Each picture is only slightly different than the one before it Pictures are displayed in sequential order – at a rapid rate giving an optical illusion of movement Persistence of Vision l l Staring at an object then close your eyes You can still see it © UNT in Partnership with TEA 3

PERSISTENCE OF VISION l A theory that claims: the human eye retains every image, even after the brain has had an opportunity to process the image. l This timing differential causes the brain to connect objects that are stationary. l This phenomena often creates an optical illusion of motion. © UNT in Partnership with TEA 4

PERSISTENCE OF VISION l l That is why this image seems to spin around. Another type of optical illusion is called a zolotrope. l l l A display that has two sides The first picture is on one side A second picture on the opposite side If you flip or spin the display fast enough from side to side The eye retains each image just long enough for the brain to combine the two images and believe they are one image Image taken from christopher’smark. wordpress. com © UNT in Partnership with TEA 5
