"The word zoetrope comes from the Greek words zoe meaning life and tropos meaning turning. Inspiration

The zoetrope is based on the human retina's ability to retain an image for about a tenth of a second. If a new image appears within that time, the brain combines them, making the sequence appear continuous.

Modern zoetropes
Some modern zoetropes use 3D technology.

Pop culture
Zoetropes have appeared in pop culture, including a scene in the 2016 film The Conjuring 2

Making a zoetrope
You can make a zoetrope by taping two sheets together to form a loop, placing the pictures on the inside of the loop, and taping the loop to the edge of a CD.
