Optical Toys

Our teacher gave us a site to look at that had multiple versions of old Optical Toys and state our opinion.  I think this is a very cool site. It has a bunch of examples of toys and objects used to entertain with motion picture. If you click on each thumbnail it brings you to a page that tells you about what the object is. I think my favourite is the Phenakistoscope, it creates the illusion of movement by a series of pictures on a disk spinning continuously.  The link to the site is to the side on the link list.
