Pretty weird! :)

o.k, that's just made my eyes go all funny. I think it's pretty good though. But really really weird!

I'm thinking it's supposed to simulate a pit of snakes.

Wow! That was really good.

*goes crosseyed*

My eyes!

Thats weird, and my eyes hurt now. Gah, weirdly cool.

it moves when you are not looking at it; it stops when you look at it (you know like one of those disney cartoon in the 60, 70's)

Can anyone tell me if this is right? The affect, i think, is caused by your eye's lens redjusting to the part of the picture your looking at, and this causes the affect of it moving.

Cool stuff!

Very cool! :cool:

Here's a couple of somewhat optical illusions and an extra something to go with it.

Something Wierd 4am in the moring, in the middle of study for final later, want to relax a bit, dude, you almost killed me.

/me looks at first optical illusion and sways from side to side

Groovy man... :hippy:

/me looks at second one and HAS A BLOODY HEARTATTACK!!!

MY GOD MAN! Jesus, I can barely type. Don't do that to a fat guy.

Damn I love Cradle Of Filth and I was ALWAYS playing that song backwards when I was behind my computer... But it never was so creepy as on that site!

That first illusion was cool!

BLOODY HELL! I'm with Jaguar. It's broad daylight here and i still almost soiled myself. God damn that is evil!

Nah, there is just a small, illusionary goblin making them move when you aren't watching. :p

Pretty odd though; would be interesting to hear how psychologists could explain that. :D

lol

First one I've used in a project before.

Second one. ROFL! I wasn't watching it properly though. Stuff like that doesn't scare me much. :thumb: other stuff though...

Have been thinking, something similiar with Dalveen's. It's about focus (not martial art star war style, just biological focus). When we pay attention to a spot, we lose our focus on other parts. Of course those part will become blur. The colors also played a part to make it looks moving or changing.

Noir's next post contains a site with the illusion 'explained' (http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot_rotsnake/index.html) . Apparently it isn't witchcraft, and I was a bit hasty when I ducked my monitor in the bathwater to see if it sank like a Christian comp or floated like a demon infested window on the underworld. Ahh well, you live and learn.

Ok, since I got your attention now, here's a few sites that have some pretty cool optical illusions. With none of the scary stuff... promise. :thumb:

Dammit nior! What the hell were you thinking?! I'm with Jag on this one too..."Don't do that to a fat guy!"...I can almost *see* the nightmares... :p

(NOTE: j/k...scared the hell outta me, but it was great!)

Damn freaky stuff. Seen the 'bugs crawling under your skin' effect one before though, done by Rudy Coby. Still cool stuff and pretty damn freaky.
