O It created the illusion of moving figures

The zoetrope was a device that contained a series of images on a strip or disc, which could be spun rapidly. When the images were viewed through slits or gaps in the device, the persistence of vision effect made it appear as though the images were moving. This gave the illusion of animation and was one of the earliest forms of creating moving images.
