I've seen zoetropes before like the one on the previous slide, but these 3d printed ones looked amazing. The motion actually seemed organic like the object was a living thing. It's hard to imagine how it's possible to create a 3d printed object that works so well spinning at a specific frequency.

In person, this would just look like a rapidly spinning blob right?

@L100magikarp No, it would look the same in person. I can say that, because I've seen this one in person! :-)
The key is to use a strobe light, to eliminate blur.

Fun fact: there used to be an enormous zoetrope at the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh!

@idontknow Yeah, I've seen this. It was nuts!
