Mesmerizing Stroboscopic Patterns That Come to Life on Spinning Easter Eggs
Mesmerizing stroboscopic patterns come to life on spinning Easter eggs with patterns that were drawn by the EggBot robot by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories.
Various patterns are generated in Matlab using mathematical equations similar to ones describing Spirograph (or harmonograph) and Phyllotaxis. The patterns are calculated in such a way that when rotated under a stroboscopic light of suitable frequency or when recorded by a camera, they start to animate. It is kind of zoetrope— early device for animation.
