Switch

There is no clockwise or counter clockwise, we're not looking at her from above or below. Do they mean her spinning to her right or spinning to her left... In that case, i see her spinning to her right, though occasionally it reverses briefly.

No matter what, we can all agree she has great boobs.

What? The animation does have 34 frames, but it only has the dancer rotating once. The fact that it's a silhouette with no depth reference prevents you from being able to tell whether she's spinning clockwise or counterclockwise. So, like the dragon illusion that Fenix posted a while back, your brain just picks a way to make sense of the image.

My wife can see it go CW and CCW. I can ONLY see it go CW. We were both seeing it go different directions.

Tempus

Yep, I've looked over someone's shoulder here at work and they are only seeing it turn one way, while I'm seeing it switch directions during that time.

For those that see her spinning CCW, what leg does she appear to be standing on? And vise-versa?

When I look at it she's spinning CW and standing on her left leg, but when I trace her movement of the raised leg with my mouse cursor, I can get her to move CCW. At that point she appears to be standing on her right leg and swinging her left leg. You just have to kind of visualize what you'd be doing if you were moving as she appears to be. Pretty neat illusion though!

Gillespie

Frustrating. She isn't switching for me, contrary to what everyone else is saying.

She's on her left leg, spinning to the right. Too many visual clues in the image for me to tell my mind that she's on her right leg and spinning to the left.

Mainly turns CW for me.. but oddly (or not so oddly) as soon as I start reading, she turns CCW. Also if I am reading something off screen, and look back at the screen she is turning CCW briefly and then switches to CW.

Looking off the screen, keeping here in peripheral doesn't change the direction for me.

I got it. I couldn't initially see anything other than CW, which confused me tremendously as I'm...well I'm weird what can I say. Ambidextrous.

The trick to getting the spin to adjust is to look at the point where her legs "cross". If you then imagine the direction she is spinning in and try to view the moving leg going "behind" the stationary one and then TELL yourself it is ARCING FORWARD on the side where you think it isn't, you will get the switch quite quickly.

Actually, anyone else think this might be a bit biased towards those of us who spend a lot of time looking at computer monitors? We are pretty good at catching frame-data quickly (hell most of us die if we don't) so isn't it likely that we're a bit biased toward seeing the initial clockwise spin?

Along that line -- I am actually more strongly biased towards seeing the initial Counterclockwise spin, but I think what I'm REALLY biased towards is NOT SWITCHING while its in motion. It took me a lot of effort to reverse my initial perception and make her spin Clockwise, but once she started spinning that way, the new spin was "locked" and I couldn't make it go back to the original. As soon as my brain fills in the missing clues required to make three-dimensional motion, the three-dimensional space she now occupies makes it impossible to reverse the spin even if the original clues that determined that spin are eliminated.

I think thats why its so much easier to switch directions with a still image than a moving image. A moving image appears strongly three-dimensional, while a still image is mostly two-dimensional and is therefore easy to project in either direction.

use your hand to cover her body and leg - so you only see her spinning foot. It's a lot easier to get her foot to spin the other way!

I go for the top -- If I can get the top of her head to switch directions, everything else falls into place.

But notice how your angle of view switches depending on whether its CW or CCW? The CW spin is seen from a high view angle, while the CCW spin puts you near the ground as the viewer, and causes her to jump a bit as her foot goes behind her.
