Client Requirements:
Mystus Interactus was contracted to develop and fabricate seven large zoetropes. This client request was significant because although there are zoetropes in many science museums around the world, large ones are virtually non-existent.

A zoetrope (called a kinescope in this display) is a spinning, slotted cylinder with filmstrip animation inside. Spinning it produces an animated motion effect - a precursor to today's film projectors.
