A quirky animation tossing the Monday morning pancake welcomed Google desktop audience today. It was to celebrate Belgian physicist Joseph Antoine Ferdinand Plateau who invented the phenakistiscope, an animation device that creates an illusion of motion. The phenakistoscope is believed to have paved the way for the birth of moving picture entertainment and cinema. Today is Plateau’s 218th birth anniversary.
The doodle, created by animator, filmmaker and Doodler Olivia Huynh, is the first doodle with different imagery and themes on different device platforms such as desktop, mobile, and the Google App.
