Optically Animated Artwork.
These elegant little movie machines rival the classic motion picture toys of more than a century ago. Contrary to popular belief, they're not holograms. Surprisingly, the technology, in one form or another, has been around for centuries! (Roll Over Images To See Them Move)

CineSpinner™ Animated Suncatchers

CineSpinners™ and their strings should not be handled by children under the age of three.

Display Tips: CineSpinner™ Suncatchers should be suspended at eye level either in a daylit window or in
front of a plain, light background such as a white wall,
leaving enough room for them to rotate completely
around at the end of their string.
Dark walls or busy backgrounds such as cluttered
shelves will make the CineSpinners™ unreadable. |

Briefly explained, the technique combines parallax perception (your angle of view) with moiré-style multiple-line patterns to create the illusion of motion.
When a scrambled image layer is viewed through a striped decoder layer, a series of sequential pictures is revealed to your eye, and your brain links this succession of images together, creating the illusion of motion. |
