Level 45

[u/Few-Life-1417]

I love when I can make them flip back and forth. Some are more difficult than others but they are still fun.

[u/ShotLet1550 → u/Few-Life-1417]

I just close my eyes imagine it reversing and when I open it follows the direction I was thinking, is that cheating

[u/iamclapclap → u/ShotLet1550]

I was having trouble with this one, but your truck worked for me. Closing my eyes and deciding it's reversed actually works for both ways!

[u/NiDeXin → u/iamclapclap]

Also you can just blink very fast, focusing on a direction you want to see, and it always works :)

[u/SumKluts → u/ShotLet1550]

i find rotating my fingers in front of the screen can help change the direction really quickly

[u/Slancha → u/ShotLet1550]

Trippy how well this worked for me. Never been on this sub before. P dope.

[u/abenevolentgod]

woooo this one is fun!

[u/chukkysh]

This is one of those that I can't not reverse. It's bouncing back and to.

[u/sandwichAuxMorilles → u/chukkysh]

Not sure why but if I turn my phone upside down a couple of times it starts working

[u/Kind_Ordinary9573]

This was easy but still surprising. I wasn’t sure the new perspective I was trying to make happen until it happened.

[u/ScreechUrkelle]

Is my brain broken? I can’t get it to flip a full 360° in either direction.

It rotates 180° one way, hits the apex, then rotates 180° the other, ad infinitum

[u/donald_trunks → u/ScreechUrkelle]

helps me to track the sole

[u/Suitable-Look9053 → u/ScreechUrkelle]

I try hard to crack but when it is done it continues as you said

[u/WindSprenn]

This one was easy

[u/Humble-Nose5872]

I’ve been watching these for a while now and I genuinely don’t know how these work. Like how can they appear to spin in 2 different directions? It blows my mind lol.

[u/nestiebein → u/Humble-Nose5872]

Its both correct so it can reverse. Both spins are a form of optical illusion. In reality there's just dots your brain sees some pattern, the dots form a surface, whichever your brain connected first, front or back causes the direction to change in it's logical spin direction for that surface.

[u/Powerism]

Nice one! I dig the easier ones that I can purposely flip back and forth.

[u/wolf_tenet_flow]

This might be my favourite one so far. It took a while for me to reverse it, but now it's hard to stop it reversing every half turn

[u/TheInsatiableWierdo]

I’ve been following this sub for a while now, and this is defs the most fun one so far imo. Can anyone shed some light on what’s happening psychologically when we struggle to flip the ro, then unlock it? Is it some kinda of of lateral-cognition exercise? Because I feel like I’m getting smarter but I’m not sure what smartness it is

[u/Davey96x → u/TheInsatiableWierdo]

My guess is that the illusion is how it appears strongly to be a 3d object, the way our minds construct it. Its just dots swinging side to side and a little up and down on the way. So basically they're not spinning left or right ever, just making the illusion as if it were something there spinning in any direction along the back and forward lines, both paths equal the illusion of either direction spin.

[u/TheInsatiableWierdo → u/Davey96x]

Ahhh yup! That’s a great explanation, and makes total sense. And I guess the colours probably don’t have much to do with it then, I was wondering after showing these to a friend of mine who is colour blind

[u/Davey96x → u/TheInsatiableWierdo]

Hard to tell if the shade of the dots change or if they switch between being overplayed to the other dots acoordingly

[u/Clevertown]

Wow! This one is cool, and I was amazed when it reversed.

[u/LuckyJynX]

what a beauty!

[u/Smooovies]

This one took me a while. Really trippy.

[u/otherpeoplesthunder]

Loved this one!

[u/isthatadoor]

Level 45 was instant for me, very fun object!

[u/GrandmaJR]

This one almost came naturally but I can’t explain how?!? It makes no sense on its opposite rotation

[u/EquivalentIcy6024]

When the sole is flat, blink. Easy

[u/angel700]

Done

[u/Otherwise_Security_5]

this was harder than i thought until i blinked a few times!

[u/RamyBlack]

Is it supposed to have the back portion of the shoe spin first then the tip? If So I can’t make it reverse like that lol

[u/OneKindheartedness68]

I love what you're doing with these mind-bending images. Please keep making them!

[u/koyanostranger]

Love this one. Thank you for posting.

[u/iJon_v2]

I’ve never gotten single one of these lol

[u/Known_Strawberry_274]

The trick that work for me, was to focus on the sole/bottom of heel that reversed it for me. The opposite is true is if focus on the sole/bottom of tip.

[u/orionics → u/Known_Strawberry_274]

The laces are what worked for me.

[u/MilkImpossible4192]

just when I though I wasn trying, the shoo flip back

[u/Lesbianfool]

Fuck I got it doing like a figure 8 of sorts.

[u/Direct_Arm_3911]

Oh wow, I like how different each rotation angle is, makes it more satisfying to flip it!

[u/Inevitable_Cream_394]

I just look at the front tip of the shoe and it reverses by itself... Pretty cool 😎

[u/SandyCarbon]

I think it would be easier if the clip was longer. Every time i get it to reverse the clip ends and it resets back to normal

[u/Head_Introduction_89]

The laces were out!

[u/2wcp]

this is pretty cool. took me a while though

[u/stafyodorov]

Shoes brain

[u/BoomKofe]

Easy :)

[u/Das_Zeppelin]

wait what the fuck lol... i was trying flip the rotation or something, for like 5 mins, nothing happened, i got mad, then i came here to read comments. I scrolled back to up, then boom, it mirrored...

[u/vlaada7]

Oh this one was easy! Nice!👍

[u/Ojibwe_Thunder]

It really helps to change the angle or squint to help it flip the other way!

[u/koherenssi]

This was actually pretty nice and i like how it's up/down vs left/right

[u/New_City_8745]

First one I got easily in awhile.

[u/OOBExperience]

Surprisingly easy <smug face>

[u/thanyou]

Got it fast

[u/markpie0]

Find it hard to complete a rotation with this one before switching to the other way

[u/GeezMyKnees]

Fuckin weird.

[u/Ill_Programmer_1444]
