Initial ideas

On one side of the thaumatrope, images of wild animals in their natural surrondings, and on the other, images of hats, rollerskates and rings of fire. When the disk spins the images on both sides of the toy combine. I like the retro feel of the thaumatrope and I think it would be appropriate that the images be printed on the disc in an old fashioned way (resembling the increasingly old fashioned view of animals as entertainment).














Using a similar form of electronics and programming to that of the 'RFID DIY kit' shown below, I could insert a tag into each of the thaumatropes so that when the toys are placed on the reader, a corresponding video would be played on a monitor.
