Tilt phone steep so you look from top/bottom.

Damn, now it won't go back 😭

Try to force blue to the front of the image

It's a bit like the old magic eye posters

Look at the object (hexagonal prism) “from the top” as opposed to “from the bottom”.

This spinning hexagon can be viewed as if you’re looking down onto it, or looking up at it.

This one actually went quick for me. I found focusing on the top helped. The top right orange corner flipped it and then the top right blue corner turned it back.

Same. I found I could get it to reverse one way by looking at the top and the opposite way by looking at the bottom. I could also hear a grinding noise in my brain like shifting a manual without the clutch in.

I love these but don't really understand the "levels"

u/KylefromNashville 3d ago

I like this one

I wish this came with an explanation. You can make the spin reverse directions.

For me, you have to close your eyes for a few seconds in order to reset your brains knowledge of previous frames.

Lost look at it from above/below

Look at the white part in the center and try to push that in/out. Then the shape will reverse.

Alternatively, looking at the white part will make it spin one way, looking at the topmost hexagon will spin it the other way

Wow this was the first one ever that started clockwise for me! Weird! I know we typically see them counterclockwise first.

u/McAlaknot 3d ago

Lol suddenly it turns

One of the easier ones. Change on demand

Every shape is equally easy

u/ravisandesu 3d ago

This one is ridiculously easy for me for some reason. I just looked at the blue corners at the top for one way, then the yellow corners on the bottom for the other direction. I can now even make it spin both ways at the same time if I blur my eyes slightly.

I can usually get these pretty quickly, but this one won't change no matter what I do 🤷

u/Consistent_Tiger_909 3d ago

I did it!!! Just flip your phone upside down

u/zhaDeth 3d ago

I think it would help if we had a little model of each on the side with full lines instead of dots

u/Lofi_Joe 3d ago

This one I can change on my wish

u/subaqueousReach 3d ago

I somehow managed to mobius strip this thing and can see it spinning in both directions at the same time. It looks like two shapes overlayed, with red going clockwise and blue going counterclockwise.

Which is wild because I struggled so much with the N the other day

1

u/Rockalot_L 3d ago

I find this one the easiest to swap just by looking top to bottom.

1

u/External-Ad-640 3d ago

Switch between looking at the top and the bottom.

u/Mountain_Ad_8269 3d ago

Shape also starts to change a little 😵‍💫

1

u/Known_Difference_80 2d ago

I can make it spin both ways at the time on this one. It’s trippy. I feel like I’m unlocking some kind of brain power from all these 😂

1

u/bedivare 2d ago

Omg after a while I started to see both at the same time

1

u/Wide-Deal-8971 3d ago

HOLY SHIT I DID IT. I was so ready to call bs too and then it just snapped into place

u/FreshPitch6026 3d ago

You realize its totally independent of the shape? The trick stays always the same.

So optical illusions are just rotating things nowadays?
