The Mutoscope is an early motion picture device, invented by W. K. L. Dickson and Herman Casler [1] and granted U.S. patent 549309A to Herman Casler on November 5, 1895. [2] Like Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope, it did not project on a screen and provided viewing to only one person at a time.
The Kinetoscope is an early motion picture exhibition device, ... the Phantoscope, developed by young inventors Charles Francis Jenkins and Thomas Armat.
Edison's phonograph had inspired more interest in recording motion pictures to accompany the new medium, but when motion picture systems were developed, synchronization turned out to be much more of a technical challenge than imagined. Edison started the exploitation of the Kinetoscope without the expected accompaniment of sound.
The advent of film as an artistic medium is not clearly defined. There were earlier cinematographic screenings by others, however, the commercial, public screening of ten Lumière brothers' short films in Paris on 28 December 1895, can be regarded as the breakthrough of projected cinematographic motion pictures.

The American movie business started in New Jersey. Between 1893 and 1896 in West Orange, N.J., Thomas Edison was developing the early motion picture tech, inventing new ways to capture images in ...
The mechanics of primordial motion picture cameras and exhibition are explained, [4] with eponymous emphasis given to the kinetograph, the kinetoscope, and the kinetophonograph. Dickson worked with Edison on the development of these devices, which respectively capture pictures on film, play films back, and combine picture with sound. [5]
Two years earlier Le Prince, a former chemist and industrial draftsman, had shot the world’s first motion picture, a two-second snippet of some family members gamboling around a garden in Leeds ...
