A variation on a classic illusion, this cat can be perceived as rotating in either direction. With practice, you can make it switch at will!

More bang for your buck! This three-in-one illusion includes a false spiral, an impossible Escher-esque structure, and what appears to be a seriously warped floor...

Believe it or not, this image is not animated. The effect persists only in your peripheral vision; if you focus on any one of the spirals, it will stop moving.

cool

the A B square one makes no sense. B is clearly lighter then A.

I AM MIND BLOWN
<--- literally

this is pretty trippy lol

I think it's might net book but can't see some of the illusions

The cat is probably just my own retardation cause I can't get it to spin the other way unless i flip my netbook upside down :haha:

The one with the red and green dot, theres clearly way more distance to the left of the red dot than the right, but maybe thats cause i'm using my netbook and sitting 10" away LOL

and the escher column thingy just looks like someone put an extra base in front of it, not a real escher that blows your mind, but overall not a bad thread

the cat still rotates counterclockwise for me.

not bad! i too couldn't see the cat spinning in the opposite direction. and i agree that the B square was clearly lighter than the A square. those purple/red spirals were pretty trippy too!

you can test the A and B squares. Thanks to MS Paint, it's easy to see that they are both the same (use colour picker then the brush) and this can be confirmed by using the colour picker then Colours -> Edit Colours -> Define Custom Colours. You'll see that both are:

Hue 160
Sat 0
Lum 113

Red 120
Blue 120
Green 120

it's going clockwise for me. i can't get it to spin counterclockwise.

for the cat one, try closing your eyes, imagine it spinning the other direction and open it

holy crap the squares illusion

I got the cat to go from clockwise to counterclockwise, but now I cant get it to go back to clockwise lol

cat only moves clockwise :(

^my cat moves counter clock wise! LOOL
dang this is trippy!

I concentrated on the tail and then the cat changes direction, pretty trippy shit

shit im at work and this totally has thrown me off

Try concentrating on the mid-section of the cat. See if that works.

fuckin cat!!! TURNNNNNNNNN

JAH you always make a simple most that much more interesting

Cat only moves clockwise for me.
