Have you noticed that it only moves in your peripheral vision, perhaps a good practice tool or demonstrator for averted vision. Greg.

Nice little optical illusion Ving.

Classic stuff Ving!


They appear to move in such a way that their white edges lead, ie some seem to rotate clockwise, some anti-clock.

Clever illusion, I like it!
