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)

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. |
