The praxinoscope is a device extremely similar to the zoetrope invented in the year of 1977 shortly after the zoetrope, it is said that this animation device is an improvement on some of the aspects and features that are included on the zoetrope. Emile Reynaud took his inspiration from the zoetrope device and worked onwards form that pioneering the praxinoscope. The idea of the praxinoscope was that a strip of pictures where attached around the inside surface on a spinning cylinder, one advancement that was made on this device compared to the zoetrope was the there was a circle of mirrors on the inside which replaced the narrow viewing slits. This was put in done so the pictures appeared to people as still when the wheel was turning. This resulted in whoever looked into the mirror to see an illusion of motion. The quality of the praxinoscope was said the be higher than the zoetrope with many changes being made it was a better end result.
