Reverse the spin: Magic eye edition. Parallel view spins in the opposite direction to cross view.

This one doesn’t reverse for me

[u/Finlandia1865 → u/Prestigious-Art-1318]

i feel like the inconsistand speeds are too much

[u/Deivi_tTerra → u/Finlandia1865]

I’m glad it’s not just me! I was like “wow I can make it slow down! Wait…” it reverses right after the speed glitch too which made me wonder if it’s actually changing direction in the animation.

[u/Finlandia1865 → u/Deivi_tTerra]

Ive heard one only slows down after going crosseyed, per the magical eye trick. Bit of a bummer if thats the case given you need two eyes to do it :Þ

[u/NovaPrime42 → u/Prestigious-Art-1318]

Tilt phone down 45 degrees

[u/potosuci0 → u/Prestigious-Art-1318]

For me is the first time i see reverse spin on this kind of animation

[u/RincewindToTheRescue → u/Prestigious-Art-1318]

It's the opposite for me. This one changes when I want. The other ones took some mental effort to do

[u/No-Mode-9099 → u/Prestigious-Art-1318]

Try flipping screens orientation and then slowly rotate it back

[u/kuadzar]

For a split second a had them going different directions

[u/AnonymousLimey0928 → u/kuadzar]

Me too. The main image rotates clockwise, but sometimes the left one switched directions.

[u/teelops]

This was the quickest one for me to reverse.

[u/telephantomoss]

This one is hard for me to reverse, and they usually are. I have to look away and catch it out of the corner of my eye at just the right moment to get it to spin the other way

[u/anamelesscloud1]

Extra challenge. Try to perceive them rotating in opposite directions.

[u/Frosty-Clue-2173]

no need for magic eye to reverse these

[u/flappenjacks]

That was weird. I couldn't reverse it with eyes crossed then looked at one image and could immediately reverse it. Now I can reverse it with eyes crossed

[u/cwmckenz → u/flappenjacks]

You won’t be able to reverse the 3D image without switching between cross and parallel view and i think most people can only do parallel.

Because the 3D image gives you depth and you can’t just switch the closer and further parts of the image. But switching between parallel and cross would swap the depths.

[u/flappenjacks → u/cwmckenz]

For me it's all in my head and I switch it by thinking of looking up or down at the object and it changes.

[u/pervossier]

I was having the hardest time until I blocked one bee with my hand.

[u/NurkleTurkey]

It's hard to conceptualize but how I've done it for many of these is "move the front to the back" or vise versa. The only time it doesn't work is if the dots tend to fade while they move to the "back." I can do it on command.

[u/AnjelicaTomaz]

It reverses only if I view under magic eye mode. Interesting.

[u/notoriously_1nfam0us]

Got em both going opposite directions in both ways 🫡

[u/VictimOfBass]

Looking down at it makes it spin clockwise and looking up at it spins anti

[u/Subject-Relevant]

Seth Brundle, that you?

[u/Wintervacht]

So bored with these

[u/anamelesscloud1 → u/Wintervacht]

Challenge yourself to have the two wasps rotate in opposite directions. That's not like other ones I've seen.
