Great Optical Illusion

Have a look at this video:

Optical Illusion

You have to stare at it until the end, then look away. The effect is short lived, but quite surprising. Try it!

Agh weird. Is that what hallucenogenic drugs are like?

Well, of course, nobody on ATS could have such info, we're all clean living souls. But yes, I'd assume so...without the world coming back to normailty after about 10 seconds.

Well doesn't seem like much fun to me. :shk:

The fluidy wavy visual effect is really very similar to the beginning of a '___' or mushroom trip (so i've heard : ). Big difference is ofcos that it doen't stop after 10 sec but just gets stronger and stronger and will last about 5-8 hrs...

don't try this at home
unless you live in holland

peace

As a former DJ its like the effect you get when you look at a record on a turntable going round.

I agree though, it is like a very very mild trip (visually)

So people spend a fortune on drugs just to make their eyes go wavy??
:bash:

hmm, not to start of a discussion but a good friend of mine uses mushrooms about twice a year (in a country where its legal ofcos) so i wouldn't exactly call an anual tripbudget of 30 euros a fortune.

She doesn't do it for the wavy optical effect though, purely for inspirational purposes & soul searching. By the way, she's a design director in a pretty good int'l agency...
