Although Athenasius Kircher is often credited with inventing the first projector, credit actually belongs to Christian Huygens, the 17th century Dutch physicist. He described the earliest known projector in a letter to his brother in 1656.

William Lincoln invented a projector called the "wheel of life" or "zoopraxiscope." It was patented in 1867.

Eadweard Muybridge visited Thomas Edison's lab. Muybridge had been working on stop motion Photography. Edison invented 35 mm film to work with a movie camera.
