This is not a 2D image swinging. I have reviewed all the frames of GIF image while creating my edited version. This is a 3D silhouette - a 2D projection obviously of a rotating 3D silhouette. I saw 2D projection because our displays obviously can not display in 3D. (I am sure you are aware all 3D things we see on screen are a projection/shadow on a 2D plane). Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

By reversing these two points, I prove that the illusion can be disambiguated. There are also arguments that all silhouettes are ambiguous which is a bit like saying "all ambiguous things are ambiguous"! This post is about why at all they are and in particular this one is ambiguous."Ragu Kattinakerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043138095700145552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10431228.post-3696203950847821562012-01-22T18:58:04.943-05:002012-01-22T18:58:04.943-05:00I think we should rotate other totally black silho...I think we should rotate other totally black silhouettes to see if the same phenomenon is true for rotating trucks, trees, chickens, etc. I think we will find that the "illusion" is not an illusion at all. It is simply a rotating silhouette, which devoid of other clues, can be imagined to move in either direction. The true fascination with this figure is the pleasing form. No where near this much attention would have been given to a spinning chicken, lol!jvankirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245531649201285504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10431228.post-16283912203624018102012-01-22T18:53:10.918-05:002012-01-22T18:53:10.918-05:00I think we should rotate other totally black silho...I think we should rotate other totally black silhouettes to see if the same phenomenon is true for rotating trucks, trees, chickens, etc. I think we will find that the "illusion" is not an illusion at all.
