Plateau stated that the illusion could be advanced even further with an idea communicated to him by Charles Wheatstone: a combination of the fantascope and Wheatstone's stereoscope. A new translucent variation had improved picture quality and could be viewed with both eyes, by several people at the same time. In 1849, Joseph Plateau published a note about improvements for his Fantascope (a.k.a.
