This paper presents the Zerotrope, an improvement of the classic phenakistiscope and zoetrope devices, used to create anew 360-degree 3D display by addition of a single ultra-realistic full-color hologram. The Zerotrope is built with a singlezero-degree transplane hologram mounted on a disc rotating at constant speed. This hologram displays a series of 3Dcharacters showing the sequential phases of an animation and arranged radially around the center of the disc. When astroboscopic lamp synchronized with the rotation illuminates this hologram, the recorded characters are animated as in astop-motion movie. The operation of the Zerotrope is successfully demonstrated and shows the effect of the holographicreality (HR) without the need for special glasses or other viewing aids.
