Graduation

A test using a circular array of smartphones - to find out if zoetropic motion is possible with LCD screens. Findings:

It works
The limited viewing angle doesn't seem to be a problem
When viewed in the dark the screens seem to 'float' mid-circle
The screens reflect into each other, better use non-or-less-reflective ones
In a dark environment the screens cast beams of light on the surroundings
As with a regular zoetrope, images get slightly squished horizontally
This test should be repeated with just iPhones, set on the same brightness, and using thinner slits.

Makeshift setup:
