Animated Dots

Are you ready for an optical illusion that’s somewhat of a brain teaser, but it also going to mess with your sense of perception a little bit? This animated optical illusion is definitely going to mess with your mind, because it’s cool to look at as just an animated image with a nice effect or you may get something more out of it. To me, this animation is a bit creepy, because it reminds me of a scene from the film “House on Haunted Hill,” but you may not find it creepy at all. Either way, the object of this illusion is to look at it and see if any words appear to you. Scroll down below to check out the illusion:

  1. Um… I don’t know what other people see in it, but it was originally created to demonstrate the movement of particles in a longitudinal wave (think sound waves created by vibrating particles in air). The overall disturbance moves to the right (the sound travels), but the individual air molecules only oscillate back and forth around an equilibrium position.

  2. It’s an example of wave motion. None of the dots actually move across the space, they just move back and forth.

  3. I don’t see any words. What I see is a series of compression waves moving through a medium. For example, this is how sound waves travel through air.

  4. Well,
    Hardly any words.

    The illusion is, as far as I think, that the dots are doing just a small to-and-fro movement, and give you a feel of big circular belt rotating around vertical axis.
