    I don’t get it. They’re spinning in one direction and I don’t see them spinning in any other direction.

    This reminds me of those optical illusion posters that used to be everywhere. Never saw anything in those either.

    Sorry. Didn’t happen for me no matter what I tried.

    I could see it for a moment but then it would immediately shift back into the true spin direction

    it’s called aliasing if anyone wonders

    If you turn your head left and right you can control the dots

    Can’t see it. It’s making me sleepy though

    I can switch them back and forth when I want.

  23. Meh

    December 13, 2021 at 11:40 pm

    I dont see any ilusion.

    Strange I can almost make the dots stop rotating by thinking of them slowing down. Anyone else tried that?

    Never changed direction, but boy did it make the warped vinyl more and more obvious.

  26. romulusnr

    this is because the speed of the dots is at a certain proportion to the frame rate of the camera

  27. ENetArch

    For me, I could watch the dots flowing in 1 direction or the other, and change their direction at will.

    Ye sit changes directions for me – but that’s the same as we all have seen thousands of times with car wheels and airplane propellers

    Nope

    They flipped for a second, then I blinked. Straight back to spinning left and can’t get it back. There’s too much movement and wobble for me to really focus on it properly I think.

    December 14, 2021 at 4:53 pm

    Nope, sorry, no direction change here. Guess I’m broken… 😁

  32. Issac Galvan

    I see it growing in size

  33. Primot

    December 14, 2021 at 7:28 pm

    Nothing… it wobbles.

    I got the dot going both ways, like a basketball dribble

  36. Haruya Rains

    December 15, 2021 at 3:39 pm
