Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Pritchard and Reinhart explores the concept of sensitive strips, motion picture and still photo film formats. They note a paper on stereoscopic vision published by Sir Charles Wheatstone, whose interest in the field can be traced back to the early 1830s, to the very period in which the persistence of vision was also first investigated, described and scientifically explained by various scholars. A number of optical toys using the stroboscopic effect were developed and introduced, among them, the Phénakisticope (1832) by Joseph Plateau, Simon Stampfer's Optical Magic Discs (1832) and -- at least as a concept -- William George Homer's Zoetrope (1834).
