Baird's first public demonstration
Baird's first public demonstration refers to Scottish inventor John Logie Baird's 1926 presentation of television technology in London. During this demonstration, he successfully transmitted live images of a human face using a mechanical system of rotating disks. Baird showcased his invention by sending images of a ventriloquist’s dummy, followed by live images of people. This event marked a significant milestone in the development of television, introducing the concept of transmitting moving images over a distance, paving the way for modern electronic television. Baird's efforts laid the groundwork for future advancements in broadcasting and entertainment.
