It's a guy, not a girl. Unless the girl has hair on her chin...

Maybe, I'm nto sure. IT looks like a girl from te face and the hair, but the chin does look boyish. BUt seriously, does it really matter?

Pointless. The backround is the only thing moving. The pic is just flashing. To the B to O and the R and I and N and G, What does that spell? BORING!

its a transvestite

Why is there a page of a google search results in the background?

To the person who said that this boring, I am waiting for you to post a better illusion, until then don't be so quick to judge.

Very cool! Keep up the good work!

Which is the background and which is the image depends on what colour the DJ is - the neagtive space (white) and image (black) reverse when the colours switch, which has a fair bit to do with the illusion.

ummm... cool, but...
it has a beard, it's a guy.
and why's it scary?

Well put, John

its a dude with dreds there happy? lol

The illusion looks like it's moving because the text is moving. The text is probably google text results because you're probably very familiar with seeing them scrolling, and thus you don't think twice about them.

It looks like you just copied some random ad for a website. Probably an ad by google. Dissapointing.

It looks like it's just an ad for some random website. It's probably an ad by Google, which would be why there is something in the background. Disappointing

"Epileptic seizures can sometimes be triggered by certain frequencies of flashing or flickering lights, or by certain geometric shapes or patterns." epilepsynse.org.uk

"Migraine Triggers: ... bright or flashing lights..." bupa.co.uk

Enough with the flashing lights already!

If you click and drag the image it will freeze so you can get a better look at it. I definately think it's a guy and the image is the white face with black hair. It is interesting how it keeps moving to the right though.

Always interesting to see what people can do with this effect. While it's not one of the better examples, it does demonstrate the sense of constant unidirectional movement quite well. Good use of the background text as well, 2 directions in 1 picture.

Another thing I found interesting... when a "good" illusion is posted, a dozen kiddies are all proclaiming "first post!!", like seeing a "cool" blog entry before anyone else somehow makes them the better person. But when a not so good entry comes along, y'all are too busy bitching about it to even care if your first or not. I cast my vote for more not so good entries :)

yeh, go u John; i agree. kl illusion, but as Vurdlak said, it does make u feel dizzy after a while!! lol

Wateva u guys say, this illusion rocks. I love the effect, and i thought the guy/girl was moving at first glance. I dont like the text though, maybe there is a better way to do it?

Whats wrong with girls and facial hair anyway??

(Joke btw. i am a guy.)

Epileptic seizures are triggered between 4-20 Hz, which this image may fall foul of... Other than that, it just looks like another annoying banner ad... Not good when you're trying to work using other OS X widgets, makes you want to turn the offending one off!

NEITHER the background or person is moving, THAT'S the illusion. If you don't believe me, cover the picture except a small hole and watch it. Nothing is moving, just flashing.

Okay - enough already. I have your gadget on my google homepage and it's starting to give me headaches to have this flashing in my face every time I go to look at the new news!

Had to take it off my desktop -it was driving me crazy with that flashing.

is that google in the backround?

ughhhhh my head hurts. this image does give dizzyness.....

Brilliant!
Liked the City one better, but still a great post! Keep up the good work!

This isn't scary at all! And its not a girls face, its a guy.

not what i want flashing when i open my dashboard. took the whole thing off, bad idea. i use my dashboard, and if things are flashing on it, i cant use it. just a thought.

It's Michael Jackson!

dis b so dumb -_-

lol

its a girl/boy it did not make any sense well from my point of view it was sooooo BORING!! yet creepy as the look was creepy

this suck

umm... it's suppose to be blinking?


-raven13

i actually did start to feel dizzy. this has never happened to me before....

ITS NOT EVEN FLASHING ANYMORE, MAYBE A LINK HAS BEEN BROKEN OR SOMETHING, BUT ITS NOT WORKING

its supoose to be moving. must be broken. isnt doing anything!

its suppose to be moving? nah, not happening

Yeah its not even flashing... something must have gone wrong... I have seen these before though, and they are pretty cool (when they work)


And that guy looks VERY familiar...


where did this image come from???

you're supposed to click on it and it'll start to go.

i dont get it wats so scary its a face moving and changing colours

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I feel like such an idiot...

Thanks, anonymous no.41 at 3:39pm- i honestly never would have got that!



And I have decided this guy is NOT who I thought he was- the beard isnt long enough. (but yes, it's a GUY)

The girl doesn't have hair on her chin she has a shadow of her lip

look like Gene Simmons
