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.

E-paper would be great, as it's thin, viewable from a broad angle, has a high contrast and a nice texture. [http://www.pervasivedisplays.com Pervasive Displays] manufacture e-paper displays, one of their offices is located in Soest, The Netherlands. They don't sell it, sadly. The cheapest/nearest reseller I found is Ineltek, in Heidenheim, Germany.

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.
