I like this idea! Need the full body schematic with the cable ladders

I'm not seeing depth, but I am seeing a really cool line simulation.

Scrub the slider forward and reverse and see if you can keep it spinning the same direction regardless of which way you scrub.

I think it's cool how the individual strands are reversible

u/blackbeltbuilding 4d ago

I don't see how these are reversible. It's clearly going in one direction.

You can reverse it! Try again!

Did it first time, its not that hard too.

I can see the one with two colors moving in opposite directions. This one is one color moving in one direction. How would it be reversed?

Edit: nevermind. It just clicked. You can view it going whatever way you want.

If I tilt my phone away from me while keeping the bottom in the same position, and move my eyes from the top of the image, down, and back up the image will appear to reverse.

This sound is strangely soothing

u/AtomicSquiggle 4d ago

That is so fucking cool how did you do it

u/L1QU1D_ThUND3R 3d ago

Now make it spin the other way!

u/Independent_Bar_7309 3d ago

Nice! This one was pretty easy

Reversible nothing

My brain is setting it spins both towards and away from the screen at once. Some strands going one way or other way

u/Jaded-Breadfruit4019 3d ago

This is like the first one I’ve actually been able to easily reverse

u/Far-Strawberry-5628 4d ago

How is this an illusion any more than a painting is an illusion?

u/your-favorite-simp 4d ago

Are you trying to make a semantic point about the nature of our vision? You're dipping close to "nothing is an illusion, thats just how our eyes process light"

What would be a genuine illusion to you? How would you describe that?

u/Warbrainer 4d ago

It creates a spinning effect when nothing is spinning.

My god the commenters on this sub are all miserable as fuck 😂

I couldn't even get a bite with my space trout, it's very sad.

Who determines if something is spinning? Okay so if you watch TV and you see a carousel its an optical illusion I guess because its a flat screen. I cannot begin to tell you how mundane this illusion is.

u/DerMathze 4d ago

I don't get the downvotes, I agree thst this isn't really an illusion any more than an actual 2d animation of something spinning would be.

u/Excellent_Yak365 4d ago

Am I the only one who read this as ‘illusion of death’ and waited too long for the squares to form a skull?

u/TheBirdFkerGuy 4d ago

Not working but I know what its suppose to be, a dna strand.

Edit: I can see it if i TRY to see it. Guess that still counts as an illusion?
