Each time I would see her moving in one direction, I'd try to force myself to perceive the opposite, but it seemed impossible. But then I'd look away and look back, and shed be moving in the opposite direction. Wonder what this means. ya well some ppl CAN change the direction while looking at it | ||

If I look to the side of the picture not focusing on it, it sometimes looks like she turns left-right-left-right | ||

Ive looked at this image for long enough now to choose whether I want her spinning clockwise or anticlockwise. The first time I viewed it, I saw it going anticlockwise for about 3 mins till I worked out how to reverse it. Then Ive spent 1 min preventing her from doing a full rotation. Its not possible that this gif is rigged because I can choose beforehand what I want to see and make it happen. EDIT: oh and to chocolat, I can rotate the image while looking at the whole thing. I dont have to look at anwyhere specific at all anymore. Its not a glitch in the gif at all. | ||

The silhouete illusion I can see both ways, but my mind prefers clockwise viewed from above. I think this is because the out stretched arm and leg will seem to travel slower as they rotate away from you (the object is spinning so as it passes you closer to you it must be going the same speed as when it passes you on the further side from you. however, perspective makes the 'outward' journey look smaller as it is further away, but it takes the same time, so as it rotates away from you it will seem to be going slower). to me, as the hand and leg pass from the left to the right they seem to be going slower, thus I say that is further away from me and the figure is rotating clockwise. just my opinion.  | ||

As for how it works, no it is not 'clearly' spinning clockwise or anti clockwise, these terms don't even strictly make sense because you're viewing the picture perpendicular to the axis of rotation, but I guess people default to viewing something as clockwise when viewed from above (so that it's clockwise when the extended leg moves in front of the leg in the middle). All that's happening is that everything in the picture is moving in a circle, which is consistent both with the picture rotating clockwise or anti clockwise. We see the the picture moving and our brain decides that the best way to interpret the motion is a rotation, but there's two ways of doing this. If it goes clockwise, then when something moves slightly downward it's coming towards you, and vice versa. It's just a much more elaborate version of the Necker cube. | ||

I can see the shadow of the foot not circling at all, but the girl is clearly spinning clockwise.  | ||

I don't get it. I'm wondering if half the forum is retarded or I am missing something. | ||

When i tilt to the right i can see her clockwise perfectly Whats buzzy is when i tilt my head right watch the animation complete half a cycle then tilt left - what happens is it looks like the leg is oscillating back and forth - funky This is a nice way for ppl who can't see it go both ways. Also try looking away from the pic at the coners of your monitor (ie look at the system clock or at the start menu) and only see the gif at the corner of your eye. You should be able to change its rotation as you wish. | ||
