Invented in 1889 at the request of Thomas Edison who wanted a machine that could reproduce moving pictures, the Kinetoscope can be considered the first machine capable of reproducing a movie, being nothing more than a succession of images at a specific speed that rotate through looping gears, creating the illusion of movement. The kinetoscope allowed only one person to watch the movie at a time, due to its use being through a small hole, where the 18mm films were projected, being changed to 35mm later.
