Persistence of vision is a phenomenon where an image continues to appear in one's vision for a short period after the exposure to the actual image has ended. This optical illusion occurs because the retina retains the visual image for a fraction of a second, even after the object is no longer in sight.
This phenomenon plays a crucial role in how we perceive motion in film and animation. When a series of slightly different images is shown in quick succession, the brain merges them together, creating the illusion of continuous motion. This is the principle behind movies, television, and many forms of animation.
The idea is that each frame of a film remains on the screen for a brief period, and before the image fades from the retina, the next frame is shown. The brain then interprets these quick, successive images as a smooth and continuous motion.
