This item is a Java simulation depicting a movement-based optical illusion.  It is a black and white-patterned wheel which creates a variety of unusual visual illusions when rotated at varying speeds.  

This applet is part of a larger collection of more than 20 simulated optical illusions by the same author.  See Related Materials on this page for a link to the full index.
