This item is a Java simulation depicting a movement-based optical illusion. It features a three-lined pattern on a color wheel, which may be controlled to spin at varying speeds. At slower speeds the pattern appears to become a pentagon or octagon. If spun fast enough, it appears to be a large square.
This applet is part of a larger collection of more than 20 simulated optical illusions by the same author. See Related Items on this page to link to the full index.
