Optical illusion

robbo180265 · 06-28-07, 03:52 PM

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.

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.

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

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?

For how long?

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.
