LCD zoetrope tests
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.
Shadowplay tests
Makeshift setup:
Narrative / non-narrative
