Optical illusions

If you like optical illusions, try this page.  I especially recommend the one labelled 'The Eclipse of Mars'  - I don't know how it works (though I suspect it involves opposite colours), but it gives an impressive display of cyan.

Oh, they're rather nifty. And now bookmarked for my lecture on the human visual system in the HCI module. :) Thanks!

I would go for the rotating snakes. Makes for a wonderful desktop wallpaper. I've long noticed a similar effect with floral curtains and artexed ceilings - just lie back and watch them ripple.

Ooh, I do like the Mars ones. I've seen lots of variations of the others, but not that one.
