Hey everyone, I just drank my coffee as announced in previous post. The reason for such quick update is because I had little trouble viewing newest illusion in my Optical Illusion of The Day Yahoo Widget. Do you see this one in Google Homepage, Mac Dashboard widget or Yahoo Widget? Please comment, because I am not sure should I fix it, or it was just a glitch (like we had one before). Anyhow, this illusion below, even though simple, works really well. It was discovered by Dan Sheffield, who wrote the following:
“Hey Mr Illusion man, I hit upon this one whilst messing about in Adobe Illustrator, it’s pretty subtle – in fact I’m not sure if I’m imagining it or not. To me it looks like it’s slowly rotating. It’s simply three stars layered on top of each other with the colors (cyan, magenta, yellow) mixing to form black. Thanks for the fantastic site, I love it.”

sorry but A. this does nothing for me and B. it doesn’t come up on the widget
Works for me, especially if I’m not looking directly at it, like when reading the text above.
My Google widget works ok too.
In Google “Mighty Optical Illusions” it’s OK.
Thk’s
Yes, it seems to be rotating. However, it is doing it extremely slowly. My advice is to look at the middle of the picture and unfocus your eyes. Click on the illusion, it is easier with a white background. Also, to me it looks like it is also getting a bit smaller when I unfocus my eyes
btw i have no problem with the google homepage thing, not sure about widget.
It is showing in Google. I don’t see this moving it just looks like it might be vibrating a little.
I didn’t see anything moving..
nice and accidental illusion, it does slowly rotate for me too
off topic, a tip for the site, every time i read the description of the illusion, well im not beeing rude but i just want to read the illuision bit and not the rest, and its soo annoying to search like 3 paragrapgs to find it were you talk aboout the illusion and not other stuff, some times when its a long description i cant even find it and i just give up on it when i could of really enjoyed the illusuon, cant u make like the actualy description on bold or something, this one wasnt too hard coz u pasted a quote, but does anyone else agree
my widged says “loading…” for 5 minutes now.
by the way: this is an extremly cool blog! i found you a month and have been coming back every day since then.
oh nice. it does work on google btw
Illusion not showing in widget.
My Google widget is working properly.
wow you are Right… it moved a little.
Sweet site man!
Nice illusion (I didn’t see it yet)
nice
No for me it is not rotating, it is simply shrinking. dont know why? Great Illusion and nice web
Nice ! I get dizzy looking at it…
I have it in my google homepage and it ’s always there (even thisone). Well is it al te time in a smaller size than the original on your site, so most of the time I have to click it to get the illusion correctly.
I saw this with my Google homepage just fine.
This pic gives me a slight headache to look at it … but yeah, looks like it wants to rotate. Wild.
Yea, I Can see it but not if i’m looking directly at it. Only if i’m looking off to the side.
Anyone else the same?
its moving slowly… but still cool
I have had trouble seeing my Mac Widget Illusion of the Day for the past couple of days. I thought it was my net connection then I read this post and realised that it’s not me.
Sorta…
First post lol
Been there, done that- pretty much a copy of 500 previous illusions. Show some originality! you can do better than this!
I see it on the google homepage.
I saw it on google.
I don’t see it in the Yahoo widget, but i see it on the site. It just links to the main page.
yes it works in google
Looks to me like it is pulsating.
I can see it in on my Google page. Keep up the good work :)
Doesn’t appear to rotating…is therea certain way I should look at it, eg for 30 sec in the center or something?
It is indeed very subtle. When I stared at the ceter and looked past it, it seemed to be rotating VERY slowly.
I had to look off to the side to see it start to rotate.
Hello V, can’t see any ’slow rotation’ on this one but it’s probably just me…also, I’m using the P.C. widget and it’s not showing up on it.
I agree there is an illustion here. It’s simple yet effective
I am not having problems viewing your illusions using the Google Widget
And I just wanted to say I love this sight. I teach college and actually use this page and the illusions in class for discussions on perception. You have a GREAT variety.
Coool!
it work for me..
only when ii look at something else though.
love the site! x
Hey… This was a pretty cool illusion. At first I didn’t think that it was working, but then i really thought i was loosing it when it started to rotate.
!Thanks for the illusion!
I’m sorry, I don’t see it. All I see is a huge blur until I concentrate on one spot. Is it just me, or does this thing hurt your eyes too?
By the way, I can see it on the Google Homepage.
I have an apple widget and it won’t work. It just keeps loading.
It can be seen in google. Pretty cool
I dont know if it spins but it sure does wobble and wiggle.
1st Post
Keep ‘em coming Illusion Man
i see it slowly rotating, not much, but neat!
yeah, saw this one on my google home page. It’s so simple… you can’t help but wonder if you’re imagining…
Does not show in Mac Widgets…
Keep up the great work! :>
For me it sways a little from left to right then back. Also it looks like it vibrates!
i don’t see it…
first comment and cool
works when you move the page up and down. great job.
err… anonymous – ur 45th – not 1st!
yh works 4 me 2. really kl! :)
Not very good…. I like the snakes one though! Trippy! http://www.moillusions.com/2006/03/mini-rotating-snakes-illusion.html
Ya if i dont look directly at it it sorta kinda works and if i look right at it it just sits there and hurts my eye’s.
I dont show up on my google widget either and i has happened before so i do belive it is probably a glitch but What Do I Know.
didn’t see any rotating effect… but it does work well as one of those illusions where you see an after image once you look away…
