Optical Illusion

NickSawyer	Date: December 3, 2007 @ 10:55 PM This optical illusion shows and woman spinning- clockwise. But, keep looking, and she can spin the other way! If you look in the right way you can change it at will. Just don't stare all day, it's hard not to... The theory is that if you see it turning clockwise, you are using the right side of your brain, and if you see it counter-clockwise, you are using the left side of your brain. They claim that if you can see it both ways, then you're a genius, but I think that's just a speculation, because on the comments I've seen for the picture, most people can see it both ways. Have fun!!
baiko	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 3:08 AM it's not a illusion... she's spinning 15 seconds clockwise, and than changes counter... blah... i thought that i was genius... damn...
pog	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 4:53 AM nup.. always clockwise for me.. damn brain
evansorchid	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 8:53 AM The tracers are really tripping me out.
BlackMage	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 11:08 AM If I read the text under the animation I can see it turning counter clockwise from time to time. If I just look at the animation it turns clockwise.

NosmoKing	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 11:53 AM Oh No... she isnt moving... I think I will google lobotomy
baiko	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 1:39 PM then, i AM genius!!!!
NoRentJoseph	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 2:12 PM Fantastic, I like it. It took a few minutes to seer it. but now I get it it, I can swap it's direction at will . I'm left handed, I wonder if that should make a difference
Distilled1	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 3:12 PM yes if I concentrate on the reading below she will change and I can keep her counter for a bit but then that blasted right side says oooh Naked lady!!!

Opossum	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 8:33 AM My brain's messed up. All I see is a weird jumping from left to right to left, like she's just swinging one leg back and forth. No, seriously, I can mentally change the direction at will, the same way those old 3-D cube and staircase images work.
Opossum	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 9:45 AM Anyway, I can make her turn left, and then immediately right - like what I said above - immediately just back and forth INSTEAD of turning, and I can do this over a longer time period. I do this by focusing mostly on the head.

BlackMage	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 4:41 PM That's the weirdest animation, really. I can see it both ways now.
NoRentJoseph	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 6:01 PM Yep, I've gone back to it. And can now do the leg swat left to right thing. I had it on my desktop. and it was running a bit slower. so it was easier to do work it out. and can have it spin in the direction I choose to imagine it to be. This is the best illusion I've seen in a long while. Before this it was the pinwheel worth checking out if you have never seen it before http://www.siliconhell.com/mindbenders/handtrick.htm It's like free acid man well for 5 seconds anyway
NosmoKing	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 6:27 PM Ok... now do it straight! hmm.. did I say that out loud?
NoRentJoseph	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 7:46 PM There was nothing wrong with my posture
ebarbarella	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 8:17 PM the first one didnt work for me she only spins clockwise! with Pete's i feel like i just drink some mushroom tea
evansorchid	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 7:34 PM I don't mean to say that this forum isn't a worthy topic, but seriously... How did this forum discussion merit being listed as one of the 'Hot Topics' on the main page. 1. Optical Illusion 2. It's That Time Again! 3. Nov in the Spotlight: Distilled1 4. DM Awards 2007 - The Winners! 5. DMusic Compilation CD Posted! I can understand 2 though 5, but this one????? Now, what was that again about mushroom tea?
hantu	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 8:16 PM Logically it makes sense to be able to see it both ways as it's a shadow, which makes it even more annoying that i can't make me see it go counter-clockwise. Might have something to do with the slight up-down motion
shutyatrap	Date: December 7, 2007 @ 1:51 AM oh theres something moving other than her breasts...oh I'll look again..lol

Hey though, at least the homepage is a little prettier
GeneHilbert	Date: December 7, 2007 @ 10:35 AM Pretty Kewl..... both ways - I did a check on the gif it is 34 frames. One complete clock wise rotation or counter rotation for you lefties.
8111	Date: December 30, 2007 @ 9:45 PM funny, it only spins counter0clockwise for me...
8111	Date: December 30, 2007 @ 9:45 PM yes, I said "counter0clock"
8111	Date: December 30, 2007 @ 9:47 PM besides, she looks a little young

RichLum	Date: February 14, 2008 @ 4:42 PM hehe thought it ironic that this topic shows up on the Community page as a "Hot topic"... Only Optical Illusion around here at teh moment is this...
lucysmusicbox	Date: February 28, 2008 @ 9:53 AM crazy. that made me crazy waiting to see her turn the other direction haha.
