Johann Zahn was WAY ahead of his time as it would take another years before this design became a reality.
The basic idea of this natural optical phenomenon is very simple. Light passing through a tiny hole in one wall will project an image onto the opposing wall.
The resulting projection is an upside down image and the birth of photography. Learn more about how a camera obscura works and a very brief timeline of how photography evolved below:. You may have also heard the term pinhole camera.
