What is Iris Effect

Chapter 20
Handbook of Research on Strategic Management of Interaction, Presence, and Participation in Online Courses
Sometimes called an iris fade or an iris wipe, consists of two choices: the iris in and the iris out. The iris out usually begins as a black screen and then opens up and out like the iris in the human eye or in a camera to reveal an image. This effect was often used in the beginning of cinema as a point of view shot to imitate the opening of the eye upon a new scene. The iris in places the circle around the frame and closes it around the image with blackness surrounding the circle. This effect literally gave closure to a scene and served as just such a transition.
