Now I came across this today and I’m not quite sure what to make of it. Many people are praising it while just as many are unsettled by it.

Some people see her spinning clockwise, others see her spinning anti-clockwise. If you stare long enough you should see her change direction. Some people can make her change at will. Though no-one can make her move both ways at once.
Apparently its achieved by an unchanging animation of only 34 frames on a constant loop.
It is believed that the two-dimensional image does not contain enough three-dimensional information to tell the brain which way she is spinning. Therefore your brain fills the rest in, as is often seen in many optical illusions. Hovever in this case the brain can do it in two ways depending on which side of your brain you favor.
Now I’m not one of the people who is greatly disconcerted by this but im intrigued that rather than see her spin occasionally I see her go back and forth or side to side.
So what do you make of it?
Woooo, this is a good one. I saw her going one way then another way. she seemed to be going side to side when I was reading the text and I could see her only throgh peripheral vision. I came back to the picture a it late and asked my sister which way the girl was going and we ended up half arguing cos I saw her going clock-wise and she saw her going anti-clockwise.
Well it works then.
I think thats one of the main reasons the animation was crated. To make people argue about it.
