I don't get this... people say its supposed to spin in both directions, but it seems clearly clockwise to me

<-- p.s. more optical illusions

It spins clockwise because your brain assumes it's a 3D representation of a human. Let it sit in your peripheral vision for a bit and you should be able to make it spin the opposite direction.

oops, I forgot the instructions

>>558478
for this one, keep your eyes on the dot in the center, then when it turns back, don't move them away from the dot

>>558482
for this one, stare at it for 30 seconds, then look away at something else
>> Anonymous
Its not an optical illusion the OP, its merely a gif. Its shot clockwise for a while. Matched up midway, and then shot counter clockwise for the remainder of the gif, where it is again matched up to the start of the gif file.. Nice try though..

you're all right,
the illusion is that the image looks different for different people,
some see it spin clockwise, some counter clockwise
some can concentrate and make it appear to switch directions

the fact that the object appears to change its motion based on different perceptions is what makes it an optical illusion

SO EVERYONE SHOULD STOP ARGUING!

I just checked it in ImageReady. It's 34 frames and one complete revolution. The direction is entirely up to your brain due to the lack of depth in an image your brain perceives as three-dimensional.

It's spinning clockwise.

based on the fact that if given a silhouette of someone facing opposite ways they look exactly the same. but the original pic fails because of the angle being slightly above facing down. therefore in the 2d space of interweb pictureness an objects y position is changed based on its real life z coordinate.

think zelda(2d oldschool) when you move back in the z coordinate it is shown my moviing his y coordinate up. just has her foot is up a little more when its farthest back and down a little when its closest.

the way its changing has to be in line with the angle of the viewer. so GTFO

When the model's outstretched leg is pointing right, the rotation is clockwise. When the leg is pointing left, the model is spinning counter-clockwise. The illusion is that your brain thinks the model is rotating continously in one direction. But it isn't. So there.

dude that thing is so gay all u do is wait about 2-3 minutes and it spins the other way it dont blow my mind it just blows

>> Anonymous
if you're having a really hard time seeing it like i was, try this method. it worked for me.

- cover up every part of the image except the reflection of the foot spinning in the middle

- try to imagine the foot is spinning opposite whichever direction you currently see it spin. it sometimes helps me to squint my eyes so it looks blurry.

- once you can see the reflection of the foot spinning the opposite direction, uncover the rest of the image, trying to keep in mind which way you want to see it spin.

p.s. people that deny it's an illusion STFU

no it's not it imprints the basic colors in your mind and then shows you the shaded version so your mind combines the two images and you imagine that it's in color

And what does this gif look like if played backwards? If it is indeed an optical illusion, and the rotation direction can change, then it should not matter in what direction the frames are presented.

OK, I did that. Try to see if you can tell the difference. I can see a clear difference between them, even when I randomize which file I open on my computer, and hide the name. I can tell the two apart because in my mind they spin in distinctly different directions. Not an illusion.

Hehe, scratch my own thought. The up and down motion of the image will give away subconsciously which image was the original and which is not.
>> Anonymous
It's actually kinda challenging changing the way you view her rotation. Does it give you better control of your mind?
>> Anonymous

They both work for me.

Try what the one guy said about covering up the top half of the pic...it helps.

yeah for a second i thought i was going crazy... and i really thought i could make it change... then i realized... it fucking changes
>> Anonymous
If it's not an illusion, why can you make your backwards version spin the opposite direction?
>> Anonymous
>>558802
Nice. That worked for me. I just look at the reflection then when i looked back at the image it was spinning counter-clockwise.

If I look away totally and then back, my brain interprets it as spinning clockwise once again.
Interesting.

this one fucked up my brains after staring at the center for way too long..
its a good 5 minutes later and things are still wavey on me


and BTW, ive had 2 pics of the OP image open for 15 minutes, one looks like it spins one way, the other spins the opposite way

everyone who's raging about this just hates the fact that their brain cant comprehend how it works

Also, there is an artifact in frame 13 of the image. Where the legs meet, there appears a faint white line tracing downwards, suggesting the planted leg it the right one, making her spinning movement to be distinctly COUNTER-clockwise. Happens to be the opposite of what I initially thought.
>> Anonymous
try this, close your eyes for more than just a blink, but only slightly.

do this when the leg is to the left, then try it when the leg is to the right.

works for me. you should see that she spins one way for each leg.

fixed, no more artifact, still can't get it to work.

it is in fact an illusion.
i just watched the gif for quite some time.
i got to the point where i could see it spin either direction whenever i wanted.
it is an illusion.
thats all there is to it.

all saying its not.. STFU and GTFO
>> Anonymous
woah, at first i could only see it counter clockwise, then after seeing it many times it suddenly looks like its going clockwise. if you pause it from moving for a sec, if its open in internet click and drag mouse over a bit, try to stop it when its on her back and focusing near hips area and imagine the legs reversed, then let go. works for me after a few tries

I SHAT BRICKS

it helps if you cover one half of the image with your hand and attempt to see the leg spinning in the opposite direction of what you originally saw. Once you've managed that, remove your hand. For me, I saw it spinning clockwise, covered up the right side, and made it go counterclockwise, then removed my hand. Pretty cool.

I got it to work very brielfy. Either by standing 10 or so feet away from my computer or by looking at it in the picture in the tab in Firefox 2.0.

I think the main problem is the gif is too big for it to work properly as an illusion. Illusions should fool you right off the bat with no problem but I had to consciously fool myself and convince my brain it was seeing something else.

it only goes one way and that is counterclockwise

This will always work, for those who cannot see it. When the outstretched leg reaches the center of her body imagind you are seeing the heel of the opposite foot, and you will without fail switch directions.

I remember first time I saw it I had extreme difficulty seeing it go other than counterclockwise.

Today, however, I can only see it go clockwise.

Anyway, I have examined the gif before and I will say that it's not objectively going one way. Each frame of the gif is blatantly ambiguous in such a way.

In the first frame, you can either imagine she's already facing you or facing away from you. Each frame is done in such a way that you can either imagine she's turning toward you or away from you.

I know at first it seems that the way you see it is the ultimate correct way, or that she is switching legs or some shit. In fact, even when I examined the frames of the gif one by one, I was -still- convinced she was going counterclockwise until I realized each frame is an illusion in itself.
