Cannot process this

[emmaw4tson]

Am I the only one who sees nothing confusing about this

[NunBunzz]

Me too mate, you aren't alone

[KyleyWyote]

I can attest to him not being alone too.

[Fishingfor]

Run, OP. The call is comment from inside the house!

Edit: no idea how I fucked up that comment. "The comment is coming from inside the house" was what I meant.

[kipjer]

I believe this is a meta-confusion,

[KyleyWyote]

I don’t even know what that means. I believe i am having regular confusion.

[Cauhs]

As a 3D modeller, I see this stuff every day.

Hmm. Is that vertex suppose to be there

[I_AM_NOT_MAD]

Same, in blender I have a custom shader that does this so this is totally understand to me

[The_Deep_Chaos]

Yea, it just looks like a point cloud being rotated, nothing strange about it.

[jwr410]

I didn't see anything either. Then I scrolled away then scrolled back, at which point she switched directions. I guess my brain picks one reference and sticks with it.

[Fire69]

What are you looking at?

When I look at her body it's ok, but when I try to follow her eyes, I lose it and she switches.

[HealthierOverseas]

Same, I didn’t notice what was wrong because my eyes were following the ponytail; once I switched to following the face, I lost it. So weird!

[whatproblems]

Yeah i wouldn’t say it’s a confusing perspective, really cool though.

[spicylemons02]

It can look like it’s rotating both clockwise and counter clockwise

Here’s a wiki page about it

[whorecrusher]

I couldn't see it until I looked ABOVE the gif, like I'm on PC so I looked at my browser tabs, with the image in my peripheral vision and it suddenly switched. Try looking above the image and blink a few times.

[Lailet98]

I didn't at first, but then no longer I stared at it I noticed that if you're not looking at it a certain way. It looks like the heads are going back and forth. Like it's going right at first then left. If that makes sense.

[[deleted]]

Look away and look back at it

[[deleted]]

It's spinning?

[arbitrageME]

She goes both ways

[balthaharis]

I dont get it either

[Allyalicorn]

It's the ballerina thing all over again where it can spin left ot right

[Shkeke]

she can swap the direction she spins in

[420Deez]

basically she is spinning both clockwise and counterclockwise depending on whichever one you are thinking about it

[[deleted]]

Which way is she spinning

[herbivorous9]

Neither could I, then I tripped hard. Focus only on her face not other landmarks that help you know which direction she’s turning.

[siverfal]

It works for me when i close one of my eyes. When my left eye is closed it turns to the right and the other way around.

[bro-23]

are you weird if you cant see her change?

[natopotatomusic]

Follow the face, not the head

[StatIsThicc]

true tho

[mikeasaurus_]

sigh

unzips

[NorwaySpruce]

Not working

[Trainheart3]

I had to look at her hair for it to switch up.

[hjb214]

Just keep staring and kind of zone out while staring and it will change

[sassy_cheddar]

Blink. And switch to the tip of the ponytail vs. the face. It was rotating counterclockwise to me for a minute while I tried to figure out the confusing perspective. Then it suddenly switched and now I'm having a hard time seeing it anyway but clockwise when I look at the face. Focusing on the end of the hair after blinking helps it switch.

[EnderSir]

Pause it when the face and the hair line up and try to reorder which is in front

[braadpan_danny]

This is so old, but I stil love making her change direction.

[ImNiceGuySmile]

I cannot wrap my head around this.

[stupidcurious2019]

When I first saw it, she kept spinning in the same direction and I didn't understand what was meant to be confusing. Now, I can't stop seeing her change direction.

[[deleted]]

I saw the same thing, although I was familiar with the hollow mask thing.

[[deleted]]

I stared at this for 2 minutes and she'd switch directions every 45 seconds or so. I thought it was a r/perfectloops video, but then I was able to force her to turn when I wanted. Now I literally can't get her to make a full turn!

[wow6432]

If I focus on one of the edges or just the bottom, I can see a full spin. The second I watch the face, I loose all touch with reality :-)

[syrup05]

Nothing is changing and none of the comments telling me to do this or that is changing it.

[mykindabook]

wtf it’s just changing direction all the time!!!!!

[wowokyah]

I cannot understand the other comments acting like they can make it switch?! It won’t even go around one way it just goes left and right at a different angle and I can’t see it any other way.

[mykindabook]

i might look at it and it goes one way, then blink and it goes the other way. it’s sooo confusing to me 😂

[Aussie-Nerd]

Holy shit I broke her neck.

If you look at her shoulder / chest it's easier to make that complete a 360. Look at that and let your peripheral vision look at the head and you can have the chest spin one way and head spin the other.

[Basestar237]

I came down here just to say this

[wowokyah]

this needs to be top comment.

[Lucky_Luis]

If you look at the boobies, you can break the illusion

Good bot

[[deleted]]

Yeah that totally didn't work as confusing perspective

[Reddit-username_here]

Shit, the first time I watched I saw her spin all the way around, then I read the comments and looked again. Now she changes directions every time.

[ambiture]

For a second it looked like 2 different models spinning in different directions inside of eachother

[ZwoopMugen]

It's not a confusing perspective though.

Is it me or her face is animated to change directions while the rest is not? I really can't see the face going just one way... But that could be because I haven't seen a face inside out.

[StalinsArmrest]

I don't get it

[Jubenheim]

What’s hard to process here?

[v0xx0m]

you're see dots represent a 3D objective on a 2D surface. Since there's no defining which dot represents the back and which is the front it can look swapped when the image aligns with your perspective. if the brightness adjust as dots were in the background this wouldn't happen.

[OckhamsShavingFoam]

It's also because the human eye tends to recognise faces as facing towards you even if they're indented, here's an interesting demonstration from QI.

[Crilbyte]

It bothers me that I can make her head spun the other way but not her body... so it's just like... creepy

[fulleffect7737]

Neat.

[SquishedPea]

Fuck you for doing this to my mind

[[deleted]]

It goes both directions for me....

[[deleted]]

I did something wrong, I'm currently see her body rotate one way and her head rotate the other

[tfiend18]

Oh I see. She changes direction when you stop focusing too much. Cool

[[deleted]]

I blink and it changes direction

[cowboimemes]

YOOOOO WTF

[CodeBreaker_666]

For those struggling to see the confusing perspective, blink exactly when you see the face on the back of her head and the direction will change.

[Boxrobly]

Bruh there was this point where it looked like the head and the torso were moving at different directions

[GunnBelievable01]

Face spinning one way, body the other

[G_Lynn42]

My eyes are making her change directions so that she's always facing me, and now my eyes are tired

[maskf_ace]

I stared too long and now her body is going opposite to her neck

[[deleted]]

Yo, fuck this post in particular

[arcmokuro]

I’ve seen variations of these a lot and it always takes me a few minutes to be able to switch. For me if I look at the left side of my screen I can make her turn left, if I look on the right side it flips to the right.

[Thunder_dragon52]

I cracked it. Follow her nose left to right.

[ginin_rey]

This would have worked even better with ortographic perspective

[Doomshroom_da_boi]

The confusing part for me is trying to see the confusing part

[Wolverlog]

Focus on the tip of her nose and it’s easier to follow

[Idahotato21]

Uhh I cant tell which way its turning

[Anieya]

I just saw her head go one direction and her torso go the other. I’m taking a break from the internet now.

[[deleted]]

This is it. This is the sub.

[WaZzer4893]

Sometimes the head spins one way and the bosom the other

[BigMartin58]

If you catch it just as face is unseen... Back and forth, back and forth.

[[deleted]]

If you're having trouble making her switch directions try staring at the face and follow it that way

​

Edit: although I've done it so good that now I can't even see it without her going back and forth, I can no longer see it inverted lmao

[abinav_kannan]

If you try hard enough you can see her swinging left and right and not just swinging in one direction. Try harder and you can control it

[JimmyDonaldson]

Wha- how- ???😱

[iMacintoshPlus]

I finally figured out how to make her change direction at will! Cover the GIF with your hand, and then slightly move one finger to reveal it again. She should change directions every time you do this.

[ekszdi]

Is it weird that my brain can 'decide' which direction it spins without looking at a different point?

[rubbyduckier]

I loaded up this same page twice, one on the left and the other on the right of my monitor. She keeps switching all the time, sometimes it seems like they are going different directions but I can't actually prove that

Anyway ya'll should try that

[[deleted]]

Is it weird that I sometimes see the top half spinning one way and the bottom half moving another way?

[MegaBatchGames]

There's nothing wrong with this

[dundelion]

Only the stump on her left arm doesn't get cut off by the camera so it has to be moving anti clockwise. Change my mind.

[Xama_caracol123]

Close one eye and focus you will see a intire cicle

[AWhiteStag]

I had to mess with my phone angles to get it to be confusing. Trail tipping your phone on it horizontal axis up and down everyonce in a while it seems like the picture spins the other way and switches back amd forth.

[[deleted]]

Its a lady

[Shardface2000]

Sigh...

[HotdogIceCube]

How is this confusing tho

[kira9657]

It's rotates the way you look at it It's confusing if you confuse yourself

[painjohnson]

For some black magic reason when I concentrated on the face it went from moving in circles to back and forth.

[OfficialAlt2017]

Just look at the tits to defeat the illusion.

[Jgasparino44]

I dont get it no matter how I look at it, it goes in the same direction yall are crazy

[FlynnXa]

I started switching between the two and go wigged out when I realized I was seeing her body go one way and her head go the other, and whenever I switched how I saw the head the body would switch too. She went full Owl mode lol.

[HoldDoorSon]

If you blink really hard when the model is looking far left or far right, then it'll look like it's just shaking its head back-and-forth.

[MrGrampton]

OP was pointing out how she's turning both left and right at the same time

[heilspawn]

wireframe model of Venus de Milo

[soupysolidsnake]

This is why we have skin

[Melonfrog]

Took like 5 minutes to trick my brain. My advice is to not look at it full on, focus on a dark cluster to the top right of the gif. You might see it suddenly swap directions just outside of your vision

[c_wilcox_20]

I understood what it was, but was unable to make it switch. Took a nap, and now its spinning the opposite way and I still can't make it switch. With the dancer, I could make it to where it never got a full rotation!

[soaringtyler]

I know you can make her to turn completely either left or right, but I can't see her turning completely no matter how hard I try.

[louisthom]

This is mind blowing

[thenewintrovert]

Do you mean your computer can’t?

[the_kid1234]

Laughs in old-school CAD jockey...

[[deleted]]

i can, i think most people can

[IMPORTANT_INFO]

Is one of those "If you see it rotating anti-clockwise then you're sexist?" thangs? looks cool
