Eye of The Dragon Illusion

As you move your eyes around these pictures, pattern in use produces an illusory movement, making the “Eye of The Dragon” ascend or descend. The pulsation direction solely depends on the picture you picked for observation. All of these were created by #Akiyoshi Kitaoka, who it seems has became regular author we feature. First picture below, originally titled “Ascending Dragon” is the one that worked best for me. I couldn’t believe the image was static. Each time I moved my eyeballs around it (even slightly), it seemed as if the whole spiral approached me a step closer – even though I knew this couldn’t have happened. Let’s see if it worked for you, or am I too tired to be objective…

  1. Of course they don’t move, clever. They just LOOK as if they do. If they really did, it wouldn’t be an illusion, it would be a video.

    Scrolling up and down makes them look as if they’re 3D.

  2. The top one worked for me the whole time I was reading the text above it – even that little eye movement had an effect. And the third one worked well too, it seemed to be going in. Suppose that is the dragon descending.

  3. try scrolling up and down, because this makes it seem as if they are flashing! Oh, and if Vurdlak is reading this. can I make a small request: when you publish illusions,can you also tell us why they work, scientifically.

    Thanks
    Aarushi!

  4. I can easily keep first two static I am not sure what the last one is trying to do as I can’t see any movement, but then my eyes work independently from each other and have the same strength
