Andotrope

An Andotrope is a device that allows viewing of a two-dimensional video from any direction, without limiting it to a specific perspective as with conventional screens. The device is named after its inventor, Mike Ando, with the suffix -trope (Ancient Greek τρόπος, "turning"). The idea came to Ando in 2022 while working on a project for Mysterium 2023 to recreate Gehn’s Holographic Imager from the computer game Riven – The Sequel to Myst. The Andotrope is a replica of this device, but differs from a technical perspective in that the image is not a three-dimensional hologram. According to Ando, the device updates "a 150-year-old children’s toy into the 21st century.” The functionality of an Andotrope is similar to a Zoetrope, but differs technically on several key points. The device is built from a cylindrical housing containing at least one fixed screen. The cylinder has a slot for each screen that allows it to be viewed from outside. When at least two screens are used, the content must be synchronized to show the same image at the same time. This case is attached to a rotating electric turntable to create the stroboscopic effect of a film projector, whereby a linear sequence of images becomes a fluid video.
