With this application, you can experience the Motion aftereffect.
Stare at the red dot in the middle of your screen for 30 seconds, then shift your gaze around to perceive the Motion aftereffect.
What exactly is the Motion aftereffect?
The motion aftereffect (MAE) is a fascinating visual phenomenon that occurs after observing a moving image for a brief period (ranging from milliseconds to minutes) while keeping your eyes still, followed by focusing on a stationary object. This stationary object seems to move in the opposite direction of the original moving image. The motion aftereffect is thought to arise from motion adaptation.
For instance, if you gaze at a waterfall for about a minute and then look at the still rocks beside it, those rocks may appear to be moving upward slightly. This perceived upward motion is the motion aftereffect, often referred to as the waterfall illusion.
Another example occurs when you fixate on the center of a rotating spiral for several seconds. The spiral may seem to move outward or inward. When you then look at any stationary design, it appears to shift in the opposite direction. This specific type of motion aftereffect is known as the spiral aftereffect.
