Optical illusion
 

I've just found this on another forum and I'm pretty sure it's genuine.

If you stare at the woman long enough,she spins the other way!

As long as she's a spinner nothing else matters, least of all which way she spins.:D

:D :D :D

You change the way she spins by looking either a bit to the left or a bit to the right. After you see it change in the cornor of your eye you can look directly at it. Pretty cool stuff.

Is this a hoax? I can't get her to stop spinning clockwise.

Nevermind, got it. Had to put her in peripheral vision.

Nope. Stupid Steve doesn't see it.:dead:

This is a hoax. Someone with an animated gif editor can open this up to confirm it.

In the forum I took this from someone did have a gif editor, and confirmed it to be real - happy to be proved wrong tho.

For anyone that's having trouble seeing it, try looking at it for a while out of the corner of your eye,move your eye from the woman to the shadow and back again. It first happened to me when I moved the page a bit.

It's freaky when it happens:o

Me either

Try defocusing your eyes - like you had to with those 3D pictures that were all the rage not so long ago

No. I'm wrong. This is a real illusion. :p

I found it easier to highlight the illusion but covering up the image - except for the girl's head. I found the illusion more pronounced that way.

Just opend it up in MS Gif Animator2

It is real, 30 frames without reverse.


This is a VERY odd illusion. Anyone got a solid explanation?

"If you stare at the woman long enough,she spins the other way!"

For how long?
I'm late for work, oops works finished.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

It didn't work for me untill I tried this. Now by holding my fist in front of me blocking out most of the body and moving it slightly I can cause her to just sway left and right, not allowing her to do a 360 rotation.

Weird.
