I found out today about this wavy collection, which consists of three different variations of our well known Floating Rice illusion. You have probably seen still images of this type before, and understand that they only appear to move (in a fashion of Rotating Snakes illusion), but the effect is non the less intriguing. To enhance the ripple effect of this wacky photo, more your head up and down, and it'll appear to crumple and wrinkle right in front of your eyes. Few dozen of similar images can be found in the appropriate category, while most popular are variations of this type.

    wow I've never found anyone that these have not worked for. If you keep your eyes focused on one spot, the image will appear still (which I find rather hard to do)... but if you let your eyes wonder over the image it should appear to move

    It doesn't work for me either, I guess this is something personal, not everones eyes will react the same.
    What I see: a patern of brown leaflike shapes in a green background. Nothing moves.
    Interesting though that some people will see a movement. How come they see it moving? What kind of movement is it? And why don't all people see it this way?

    Then my son you've got very stable eyes. The illusion is caused by small involuntary eye movements which to my best knowledge occur in everyone. Even if you try to fixate on the image the eyes still keep moving in little 'jigs'. If it doesn't work for you try to look at it more 'relaxed'without 'fixating'. The more 'unfixated'you watch at it the stronger the illussion gets.

    Huh, the top one is strange. it looks like the boxes move....not just waves. I still think the spinning girl is the best.

  22. Blogger Harry 

    The original still works great for me, but I don't think the new one is all that.

  23. Blogger JeriDynamist 

    ehh, how does it work?? interesting.

  24. Anonymous Buddyru 

    the first one, no... but the other two... WOW

    nice illusion

  25. Anonymous Anonymous 

    i find just looking from one edge to the other works better, spec. with the last one

  26. Anonymous Anonymous 

    did for me :)

  27. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Focus on the center of the images and your mind will create the illusion of movement based on the visual signals and shapes that suggest movement.

    Wow! Usually these types don't work for me, but these worked REALLY well!!!

  29. Anonymous yellowhammer 

    Let your eyes wander over the pattern slowly and the leaves move like waves.

  30. Anonymous Anonymous 

    That is so cool. I love these things. My first instinct was that they were animated, but when I looked close, it was still. (Duh)

  31. Anonymous Cat 

    not as good as the original illusion, however the first one was awesome just because youd think it wouldnt work with there being spaces between the illusion and all but it was still cool!

    i didnt like the second one... third was was ok as well...

    yay illusions!

  32. Anonymous tweets

  33. Anonymous Anonymous

  34. Anonymous Anonymous

  35. Anonymous Anonymous

  37. Anonymous Anonymous 

    These are awesome!

  38. Anonymous Anonymous 

    lol that was creepy and cool

  39. Blogger shelterstone 

    just let your eyes wander across the images and they look like they move.

    I like the last one the best, the first one doesn't really do much for me.

  40. Anonymous Anonymous 

    just let your eyes wander across the images and they move, really like stuff like this.

    The last ones the best!

  41. Blogger Alex

  43. Anonymous Anonymous

  47. Blogger Ebs 

    Moving my head up and down didn't work but scrolling the picture up and down did. As soon as I stopped it appeared to move on its own. Try that.

  48. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Don't move your head. Even better, look at it through the corner of your eye, it will start moving. It doesn't work for me if I move my head.

  49. Anonymous plym 

    Nothing seems to be moving - except my head. If i try any longer i'm going to get a headache!

  50. Anonymous Anonymous 

    1st one doesn't work for me, but 2nd and 3rd one do.

  51. Anonymous Anonymous

  52. Blogger Connor

  53. Anonymous Anonymous

  54. Anonymous Anonymous
