acts like the lens in a camera.
... helping to focus light to the back of the eye.
Lesson 3: History of Moving Images

4. The iris and pupil act
like the aperture of a camera.
Lesson 3: History of Moving Images

5. If you are outside at night,
the iris opens and gets bigger to let in
more light so you can see in the dark.
Lesson 3: History of Moving Images

6. If you are outside in the bright sun,
the iris in your eye constricts and gets
smaller to let in less light.

called the retina which acts very much

optical device that projects an image of its
surroundings on a screen.
Light from outside passes through the hole and
strikes a surface inside where the outside scene is
reproduced upside-down, but with color and
perspective preserved.

does not have a lens.
In place of a lens is a single small hole on one
side. Light from outside of the camera passes
through the hole and projects an upside down
image on the far side of the box, across from the
hole.

11. How do images move?
• persistence of vision
• zoetropes
• beta movement
• animation through flip books
Lesson 3: History of Moving Images

12. what is
persistence
of vision?
Persistence of vision is a commonly
accepted, although somewhat
controversial theory, which states that
the human eye always retains images
for a fraction of a second (around 0.04
seconds).
Lesson 3: History of Moving Images

13. This means that everything we see is a
subtle blend of what is happening now
and what happened a fraction of a
second ago.
