Definitions for "Persistence of vision"
The ability of the eye to perceive a series of rapid still images as a single moving image by retaining each impression on the retina for a fraction of a second, thus overlapping the images. This phenomena makes it possible to see the sequential projected images of a motion picture as life-like continuous movement.
The phenomenon where by still images are shown rapidly to convey motion.
A visual phenomenon where an image is retained in the eye for a short period of time, creating an illusion of continuous motion in film and video.
