Persistence of Vision

Persistence of Vision presents the whole picture even if only a part of it is seen at a time. The exhibit consists a long tube with a slot at the end of it, which is held to the eye and moved back and forth rapidly with the slot oriented vertically. Even though only a part of the scene is viewed at one time, the tendency of the eye to retain images allows visitors to see the scene in its entirety.
