Moksha · Bistable Motion

Which way is it turning?

Three shapes moving with no depth cues. Which direction they spin is a choice your brain quietly makes, then commits to. Watch, and you'll feel the choice happen. Watch a little longer, and you can feel it flip. The point is not the shape. The point is the flip.

Motion warning: These illusions animate slowly and smoothly, but any moving illusion can trigger discomfort in people with photosensitive epilepsy, vertigo, or motion sensitivity. Nothing plays until you press Begin. Every card has a visible Pause. If your device is set to reduce motion, Begin remains available but is explicitly opt-in.

The cube that turns both ways

Wireframe · orthographic

Which face is coming toward you? The lines cannot decide. You do.

Tip: soften your gaze. Let the front face slip to the back. It will.

The figure without shadow

Silhouette · axial spin

Facing you, or turning away? A silhouette hides the answer. You supply it.

Tip: pick a shoulder to watch. When it crosses the centre, ask which side it is walking to.

The sphere of turning dots

Structure from motion

Every dot is on a circle. Whether it turns left or right is not in the dots. It is in you.

Tip: pick one dot on the outer edge and follow it. When it disappears into the middle, choose again.
Moksha is a reflective and entertainment companion, not a medical device or mental-health service. These illusions demonstrate constructed perception; they are not diagnostic. If motion causes discomfort, stop. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 (US) or your local crisis line.
