Jeff Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 That is cool! You don't even have to stare at it for a long time, right away when i started staring the moving dots turned to green. Nice find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90SK Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Nifty. DarthMoeller is right: it goes away almost immediately if you stare hard enough. Cool find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aash Li Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 If I just stare at it long enough, the dots on the lower left disappear, and if I stare out of focus the dot in the lower-left corner area blinks on and off. heh Pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lion54 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I once saw a flash video about subliminal messages. All of a sudden, a demon pops on the screen and screams. Ever sinse, I've been afraid of flash videos......... This is cool, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MdKnightR Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 That's a great illusion to show to art students studying color theory. Do you know why you see a green dot? Because it is the complement of red (or in this case, pink...which is a red). If you stare at any color long enough and then look away, you will see its complement (opposite) "burned" into your vision. The pop artist Jasper Johns once painted an American flag in green, black, and orange with a black dot at the center. If you stared at the black dot for about a minute and then looked away (preferably to a white sheet of paper) you would see the red, white, and blue. Visual illusions are so fun!

Sabretooth Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I've seen it before, too. It's just a matter of colouring. Somebody edit the colours and I bet it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 I've seen it before, too. It's just a matter of colouring. Somebody edit the colours and I bet it won't work. Actually, the colours will probably just change It's to do with opposite colours and stuff........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Actually, the colours will probably just change It's to do with opposite colours and stuff........ You're right, but I was talking about non-opposite colours. Like say have the background blue and the balls orange. I don't think it'll work then...

Astrotoy7 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 interesting, maybe I can use this as an excuse when driving through red lights ??? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobQel-Droma Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 That was cool! I love illusions like that, and that I didn't even have to stare at a bright light or look at it for two minutes or something. At the start, it instantly turns to green, and then, if you concentrate, almost immediately the pink dots will fade out. Yet more proof that we don't always see what we think we see.

Darth InSidious Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Absolutely. The myth that is cheese is proof positive of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Merlow Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Because it is the complement of red (or in this case, pink...which is a red). If you stare at any color long enough and then look away, you will see its complement (opposite) "burned" into your vision. does that mean it would work with two other colors that complement each other. BTW cool illusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdKnightR Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 does that mean it would work with two other colors that complement each other. BTW cool illusion Certainly! If the dots were blue, you would see orange, if they were yellow, you would see violet, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallucination Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Nope, I was shown by a friend at his house. I'll try to get the link from him, but hes at a boarding school so he might not answer for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
