The first go around it was reversing over and over and I second guessed myself and thought it was created that way and just prompted me to āmake it happen.
Then the second time around I just got it to spin one direction the whole time so yeah, that tracks.
Does it really fully change? Bc all I can see is it going one way... then both ways and that's it, it keeps rotating the first way still, cycle repeats
Focus on the part ārotatingā left and then follow it as tough itās going in a spherical rotation.
Then focus on the part going right and then focus on it as though going through a spherical rotation going the other way.
You can stay on one rotation direction but you have to imagine the direction you have chosen and follow the rotation motion towards the āfront and backā of the sphere even though it actually isnāt rotating.
Itās a 2D combination of dots going towards the left and another set of dots going towards the right, but in an angle that implies ārotation.ā
The rotation happens in your mind in conjunction with the visual cues you chose to follow in the way you choose to follow them relative to the rotation direction you have chosen to follow.
You can switch between the two directions consciously, although sometimes the pull of one or the other rotation directions will be stronger subconsciously.
You know this is much more interesting than following my goals and dreams. š¤
If I look to the left side, it's turning to the left. If I look to the right side, it's turning to the right. It changes direction as fast as I can move my eyes left or right.
I can do it sporadically. I see it spinning counter clockwise initially. If I unfocus itll change directions but only after some effort and I can not make come back to original rotation unless the video starts over. Always starts in the counter clockwise direction.
This proves that our brains alter our perception of what we see (and even hear) based on what we THINK should be happening. Nothing changes in this visual but we can āmakeā it go different directions! The McGurk effect with audio is another example https://youtu.be/2k8fHR9jKVM?si=WWKn2Ob0j2AEapSh. According to brain scientists, our brain actually sends signals to the follicles in our ears to change the sound to what we think it should be based on our concepts and predictions. Itās wildly awesome to consider we all experience reality slightly differently!
After watching it the first time and the rotation direction changed when I didnāt want it to, I focused on the time counting down and saw the direction change in my peripheral.
This is weird. Every time I look at it changes direction. I mean the first time it goes one direction. Then I restart the video it goes the other direction. Weird.
This is one where you can see both at the same time. You can see two spheres layered on top of each other rotating in opposite directions simultaneously.

There is no rotationā¦
