1, Beginning Research - The origin of Théâtre Optique

The Théâtre Optique was a moving picture show presented by Charles-Émile Reynaud in 1892. Reynaud was a French inventor who invented the Praxinoscope, which was viewed as the Zoetropes predecessor. The Praxinoscope replaced the narrow viewing slits of the Zoetrope with an inner circle of 12 mirrors. This allowed a much clearer view of the moving image and also allowed more than one person to view the animation at a one time.
