Optical Illusion?

Holly mule! I could swear she was absolutely whirling counter-clock-wise and when I scrolled down a few millimetres to post the reply it turned clock-wise. Now I can't see the other way.

And now she's again rotating counter-clock-wise.

I can only see counter-clockwise rotation. Must be because I can't unwind this evening.

[Ice]

It was counter clockwise first.

I then took advice and stared at the woman's foot and now it is clockwise.

[Hepcat]

I can change it's direction just by concentrating on it. At first it was just counter-clockwise, then I just had to think about it and it changed and now I can change it's direction quite easily.

[UltraWar]

I can control both directions.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

I can simply see the clockwise rotation, although this probably could be easily explained - I do sometimes find that my right brain\left side of my body is rather poorly coordinated.

[Craterus]

Yeah, I can see both.

Not sure how it works though.

[Slug For A Butt]

Yup, at first I only got it anti clockwise... it was sooo obvious until I took the above tip and stared at the foot (I narrowed my eyes so I could only see the foot).
BANG! It is now going clockwise and I can't change it back.

How strange.

[Vuk]

That is nuts!

[Slug For A Butt]

Quite bizarre. I'm guessing it's what your mind is expecting/wanting to see.

Tsk, I bet that to your dirty little mind that blob looks like some naked chick dancing, doesn't it?

[Drisos]

I see only Counter-Clockwise. I can imagine though how some people see it clockwise. 'I almost see it'..

[Kralizec]

I can only see a clockwise rotation. I'll try again later this evening, when I'm probably drunk anyway.

[Vuk]

I did it!

[Charge]

I can't turn her back in a clockwise...

[Ironside]

Can get both now.

You cannot differ the back from the front when she's looking at you/away from you and this makes her limbs change. Right leg=clockwise, left leg=counter clockwise. And depending on that way you see the limb together with what you know is possible due to human physiology, she has to move in a speciffic way.

[Slug For A Butt]

I've been rumbled.

[Whacker]

OK, after I got it to go clockwise, I couldn't get it to go back. Now after leaving it alone for a day and coming back, it's going counter-clockwise again.........

Heh

[Charge]

Al right, I got it. Just watch at leg's shadow and she has no chances to rotate even 1 lap.

[Kralizec]

Lemur, any luck yet?
After carefully looking at the frames Husar showed, I guess I can see where the illusion should come from, but when I see it moving it just turns clockwise for me and I can't for the love of god pretend that it's going the oposite direction.

[Lemur]

Yeah, eventually I was able to switch the direction. Can't do it at will like some of our dextrously brained Orgahs, though. I think I even understand how they did the trick ...

[Drisos]

Q@ the people that are easily switching now: When you 'turn on' clockwise and look carefully and think of what you see - do you feel that things are 'wrong' about her anatomy, the order in which things appear first in the rotation, or does everything seem normal?

[Kralizec]

Hmmm, I could "see" her turning counter-clockwise by looking next to the picture itself. The moment I start looking at the animation directly again, it's going clockwise again.

[Louis VI the Fat]

When you 'turn on' clockwise and look carefully and think of what you see - do you feel that things are 'wrong' about her anatomy?

As to the first part: when I think about what I see I do get turned on, yes. But I think this is because when I look carefully at her anatomy I don't feel there's much wrong with it.

Hope this helps!

[Motep]

First I saw it counter clockwise...looked in on the thread, read a couple posts, lokked again and it was going clockwise. been going at it for 10 minutes, and its starting to drive me nuts...colockwise, counter clockwise, aggg!

[John86]

Wow, that freaked me out. I saw it going counter clockwise, then I clicked the link provided, I looked back, and now its stuck at clockwise and wont change.

[Drisos]

It's weird. I've tried lots of tips posted in this thread, and I still see her only going clockwise. I can imagine that you could see it as counter-clockwise, but I can't imagine the anatomy still being correct, so everytime I go try again to change direction I'm deep down expecting her to still go clockwise, that's probably why it doesn't work.

[IrishArmenian]

I can only see clockwise.

[Vuk]

I used to be able to see it going both ways, but now only CCW. :P
