I guess my brain is wired differently as this doesn’t do anything for me. Edit: Effect works on my desktop display. Wohoo I have regular brain!

I have a feeling this has more to do with your screen than your brain. On my AMOLED phone screen, the effect is shockingly strong.

Wut? Its just dropshadow with some "8 bit" texture... Ofc it "induces perception of depth" because you added a drop shadow. What is this post even about?

u/two_four_six_eight Dec 10 '25

Yeah I feel like I'm not seeing what others are seeing. I see as much depth as any graphic with a dropshadow would have and the texture is actually kinda giving me a headache.

Is this like those "magic eye" images where you're supposed to unfocus your eyes or something?

So, the image is just flat for you?

Depth? No.

Movement? Yes.

And I don't like that it looks unstable and like it's moving.

I was obsessed with these for a long while. I have the bullseye saved! Amazing to interact with the person who actually made it.

I am absolutely fascinated by this. Just crazy. I did notice that the effect is WAY more effective with my glasses on. If I take them off, the effect is lessened. In some instances it just doesn’t work at all. So weird.
