The Daily Pat Dollard Eye Exercise

January 22nd, 2008 Posted By Bash.

It’s called the lilac chaser optical illusion, also known as the Pac-Man illusion. As Wikipedia stated: “When one stares at the cross in the center of the image for 10-20 seconds, two effects will appear in order: One, the moving empty space between dots will appear as a green dot. Two, the moving green dot will appear to wipe out the purple dots, until only the green dot is visible. A separate effect appears if the eyes move away from the center, showing a ring of green dots.”

    Quite an illusion/effect. But blinking keeps the purple dots in place.

    Okay, so maybe I was a little bored when I tried this. . . if you move your head backward and forward to and from the screen, a green starburst will appear inside and outside the purple dots. . . like I said, I was bored :-)
