Zoetropes were common in the 1800s but they were 2D things. Here, 4-Mation has created a DIY 3D kit that uses strobes synched to the rotation of the carousel to create eye-popping 3D animations.

4-Mation is a modular 3D zoetrope with swappable animations. http://www.4-mation.co.uk Sign up to be notified of our kickstarter campaign launch.
