This item is an interactive Java simulation depicting a movement-based optical illusion.  It features a pattern containing three green lines of varying hue, which may be controlled to spin at varying speeds within a circle.  The user can control the rotation speed to produce an illusion of stars, circles, and tic-tac-toe layouts.  This applet is part of a larger collection of more than 20 simulated optical illusions by the same author.

Please note that this resource requires Java.
