Just received this picture via email today. Have to admit, it took me some time before I could snap out of it and stop staring at those floating letters. Before I ask you about your opinion, I’d like to spill some questions to those of you who bought our iPhone application. How did you like it? Would you add some additional stuff to it? What do you suggest we additionally put inside it? Would you give us a hand, and rate the app inside the iPhone store? What do you think about its price? I’d like to thank you a bunch for your support! In the following days I should start placing some polls in the Mighty Optical Illusions sidebar. I think this will be a great addition to this website. I was thinking about implementing more quizzes, competitions and giveaways as well, but first have to figure out the rules. Stay tuned! There are many new things to be added soon, I just need to categorize the rest 500 posts inside uncategorized section first.
I would forward it if I did not get a headache from staring at it…or pass out..hehe
Have seen something similar, but stil, a good one!
Wow, I really like this picture. I don’t know why but it’s probably my favourite image so far.
What I see are the shadows changing from black in one line to white in the next.
It’s like giving your eyes some game time!
…for some strange reason I feel like you’ve put this one up already
Interesting.
It looks loke they rotate the black/white shadowing by 90 degrees every two letters & that this creates a 3-D wave effect and a mild illusion of movement.
I think the substitution of an up arrow ^ for the As also acts as a subliminal prompt to encourage forwarding the e-mail.
the idea is you focus on one set of letters with the 3d popout going one way, then you focus on the next, subconciously, so it looks like it is going in waves
didn’t u already post something like this ????
whoa, @ first i thought this sucked, i’m like i dont get it, but then i read it slower and it really worked, the wave thing. really cool!
this is really kool! i found myself wanting 2 read it oveer & over!
It’s because of the shadows. Sometimes they are at the left side, sometimes in the upper right corner.. Cool illusion, though!
Yes, and then you have white and black shadows too, they’re changing places.
Brilliant!
Nope!
Im pretty sure you put this one up before right?
It makes me want to puke. I would not forward that.

Detective Kitty is right. I’ve already seen this on your site
for the iphone app i would suggest making a free version with ads i would download that but i hate spending money on apps
love the picture by the way
Wot, no “1st post! w00t!” ? Have we all grown up, at last ;) ?
I never tire of this effect, and this is a good example.
@Sue: Don’t see how ^=A could ‘subliminally’ encourage you to do anything.
Most likely substituted to increase the black/white drop-shadow thereby optimizing the effect, whereas the A’s horizontal bar may detract from the effect slightly.
wow i loved it xD !
wow i loved it ! xD
WOW!!! the letters are moving!!!
really cool image
it’s spinning around
but I’m drunk so it must spinning around…
xD
Ok – I so don’t get it – am I blind???
Wow. That illusion replicates the exact effect psilocybin mushrooms have on one’s eyes. Everything surrounding you begins to move and dance in that way.
Vurdlak, you did post this one last year too, together with this one : http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb234/vurdlak8/illusions/Peter-Powers-Layout-lores.jpg
They’re nice ones thoug. At the time I made one myself too, but that was for internal use in our company hehe…
cheers
I guess I must have some sort of visual acuity morbidity, as I never see the movement. I also never “see” stereograms, though I’ve stared, physically zoomed in/out, squinted, crossed my eyes, relaxed and stared some more, you name it. Kudos to those that do, and enjoy it for me and those akin.
If you close one eye it almost stops moving
I don’t know if I like it or not, but I’m sending this URL to everyone I know.
did nothing for me, its all in how you highlight the letters
lol- this was cool, dunno if i’ll forward it, but I realli did find i couldn’t stop staring for a while… lol
I believe I’ve seen this on your website before. It’s cool though.
Did anyone notice how all the A’s are upside down V’s?
While you are loaded with Absolut, everything is stationary.
wow! when i looked off the illusion on the comments it waved like the illusion! how cool?!
the entire words get frozen, stand still if ur a witnessing it in other words if ur breathing is slow, ur mind is at rest. during meditation we can experience this; if ur mind is too occupied the greater is the speed of words, and vice versa. one way to check ur mind calm maybe……
i feel like im getting sleepy while i read it, lol real hypnosis! XD
i will forward that email i will forward that email i will forward that email
Good Finally
read it backword and you will notice that it says WILL YOU EMAIL THIS FORWARD
MY EYES HELP THERE BURNING!!!!AAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, my friend would hate me if I posted them this
