MOTION AND PERCEPTION |
A study of the scientific and psychological approach to this question: image-making processes and motion have been linked in various ways. |
|
- The perception of motion
It was studied in the 19th century as 'persistence of vision'
- Optical instruments and the simulation of movement
Optical toys were thus invented which show images in rapid succession each representing a phase of a movement, and which we see as continuous movement, modelling the perception of movement
