More advanced versions of the magic lantern began to arise when people began to use the projectors to project moving image. This was achieved through having mechanical slides, or having two separate slides and manually moving one of the slides to create the illusion of movement. Chromotrope slides, which produced moving geometric shapes, were operated by a pulley wheel that turned a glass disk.
The magic lantern isn't used today to project moving or still images, however, there are many modern advances on the magic lantern that are used in today's society to project sequential imagery such as cinema projectors. This invention led to the development of such projectors that we see today and was an important step for the animation world.
