it's supposed to be spinning in both directions, I can only see clockwise, anyone see both?
>> Anonymous
look at the reflection, normally it'll help you
>> Anonymous
yeah, i'm able to see both
try focusing on her foot's reflection and imagine it spinning in the preferred direction
>> Anonymous
yeah, just focus on the reflection of her foot for a sec.
>> Anonymous !4X8vLLNDE2
Oh, awesome. I've gotten to where I can see her basically going in one way for one revolution, and then turning to go back.

It helps to look at her using your peripheral vision.

If you need additional help, try spinning your finger in the direction you wish to see her, it worked for me.

I can see both directions, but is she turning both ways? Can anyone with a gif editor tell me?
>> Anonymous
Sheesh, it's an optical illusion... The nearest you could say is that she's turning both ways. Depending upon your point of view, whether you see her facing slightly upwards or slightly downwards, she'll seem like she's spinning from either direction... It's a neat effect in all, looking at the reflection did it for me.

I can see it spinning both ways, and what fucks with my head, is when she's going counter clockwise, her other leg is raised...
>> Anonymous

It's a depth/pattern recognition illusion I think. Notice that when "she" changes direction, her right limbs now look like they are on her left side. Breaking the gif down by its frames reveals the trick.

Try blinking at it rapid-fire until you see her spin the other way. Part of the perception seems to depend on what frame you start looking from.

And question to those who can change it easily, do you have good vision or an astigmatism/glasses/etc.? I have a theory that this type of illusion is easier for those with poorer vision.

a good way to see this is to have it open in a new window, and look to the right of the image...

If you tilt your head to the right she switches directions.

Fucking Lies. She's spinning clockwise
>> Anonymous
I can switch it pretty easily now, and I have normal vision, no glasses, etc. This is one of the best illusions I've seen in a long time.

I saw her spinning clockwise... once I got her to spin the other way I couldn't go back. Damn.

I couldn't see it for the longest time either, just stare off to the side and watch it out of the corner of your eye for a bit.

Castles were shat.

i got it working but i cant pick and choose which way i see her spinning. I saw it at the original site which was flash i think. i allmost sware it was just programed to switch direction.

try looking away completely then looking at it. i think i can control which way i see it depending which side her foot is on when you first look at it. if its on the right when you first look at it she spins counter, if the left i see clockwise.

If it's this hard to realize an illusion, it is not a good illusion.

Okay, I figured out how it works. The reason your mind sees it in different directions is because the image is parallel. The line of symmetry is located vertically in the middle when the the image shows her leg at the farthest right point and the farthest left point. The fact that it is a silhouette is very important because since she is all black you cannot determine depth perception accurately. Your mind has to form it. When the image "changes directions" what is really happening is that you are determining on which cycle in the swing is the leg in the front and which is in the background. It appears as though the woman is turning a full 360 but really she is just like a pendulum swinging back and forth and your mind determines which leg is in front during a swing and which is in back. It is your mind trying to figure out the depth of the image.

Easiest way to do it:
lean away from the picture
go a little cross eyes until it is blurry.
keep looking at the blur until it switch direction
focus on one of the legs. as you refocus.

I only see clockwise on OP's gif, but if I concentrate, she starts to move her arms on me.

Weird.
>> Anonymous
She was going counter-clockwise the first time I viewed it. Now I can't get her to stop going clockwise.
>> Anonymous
YADA!!!!!!!!!! I DID IT!!! The trick is to focus on the feet's shadow and try and see that shadow move in the opposite direction.

I shat a whole crackhouse.

The focus-on-her-shadow trick works perfectly.

I've finally gotten it where I can blink and have her turn when her foot is in front of her but this is still the trippiest thing I've seen all day. This or the moving magic eye image.

it's not an optical illusion if you have to force yourself to see it going the other way


it's clockwise and that's all i can see it
>> Anonymous
I seriously can't figure out what the hell you guys are talking about. How can it look like it's spinning other directions?

Actual optical illusion.

Ok, so I can tell not many people in this thread have done any 3d modelling based on the answers alone.

Btw, she's spinning counter clockwise.

If you are "seeing" anything conflicting with this know that it is then an optical illusion caused by the figures position and perspective.

Tried focusing on the feet, still nothing.

counterclockwise. If it was clockwise, you'd see the reflection of her foot on the bottom of the screen (the one sticking out) going from left to right as opposed to what it's doing right now which is right to left.

the silhouette switches directions, you dopes. not an actual optical illusion
>> Obs !3GqYIJ3Obs
Look at the shadow. It goes the same direction the whole time. I think this is just a conflict between different parts of the brain.
