I see it clockwise and wife see it counterclockwise. But after a little while she was able to see both side.

I can't see it the other way around.

How do you see her??

Sorry if it's been posted before, I don't spend 40 hours a week in off topic

I can see it either way.

It went right, then left, then back to right.

I can see it either way, by deciding if her leg is in the foreground or background when it sweeps through the middle.

Cool link.

Both ways. When I see it one way I look at the shadow on the bottom for a sec and back up and it changes.

Both. Every time I looked down, and then back up it changed.

Ummm is this some kind of trick or something?

She's only spinning one direction (Clockwise) and the file is just 30-odd frames of her rotating... how could she possible change directions?

Hi.

She starts to rotate clockwise which is constant with the way the majority of the male brains operate according to most of the studies.

I have no difficulties with changing the direction though, must have something to do with being good at descriptive geometry and working with different mechanical machines since I was 6 years old.

Cool link thanks. Killed my e-mule DLs though .

Regards
Sam

I've seen this a few times before. It's easier to make her switch direction if you don't look at her boobs, but at the feet instead... :-)

When I first looked at it I saw her spinning counter clockwise for two or three revolutions. Then, it looked as if she was constantly changing direction back and forth on me.

Wow what a trip! Counter clockwise if I'm looking directly at her.

It got trippy when I started reading the text at the bottom, because it starts rotatings clockwise, or back and forth. Each time it gets to one side, I feel my eyes (or my brains switching back and forth!) kind of tick to the corresponding side, and back and forth and so on. If I keep my eyes lazy and don't follow either side, it goes clockwise but the leg kind of drags and blurs or trails across the screen..... It gets weird when then 3 come together and the blur takes the shape and movement of a hockey player skating towards you, but not coming off the screen or anything (to put it in words..). My eye catches something after a few seconds, and again this when in my peripheral, almost as if I was trying to see one of the 3D "can you see it" pictures that were everywhere in the 90's.

Now I have to go back and look at it, interesting link thanks!

Clockwise at first, then when I scrolled down to read the text I could see counter-clockwise. Pretty Cool!
