The beauty of animation is something which captivates us in childhood and for many, holds that magical air well into adulthood. Seeing animations before your very eyes is particularly mesmerising, and this JF Modern Phenakistoscope DIY Basic Kit is a superb way to experience this wonderful optical illusion of movement!
This incredible device comprises a sleek stand which has a built-in motor and lights to rotate the colourful cards – revealing tiny miniature worlds of motion! The beauty of this design is that it can be viewed with no additional apparatus, so it can be seen and enjoyed by any number of people at the same time. It uses an Arduino Nano, which can be added to the kit as a purchase option – as well as the motor, to give you all you need to complete this device. It’s both a perfect gift and a stunning tabletop device. The still images cannot do this justice, but see the video below of how engrossing the animations are!
