- dmron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24That's pretty cool. Takes a bit too long though. :)
- Laurent, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18I suggest not listening to the music, it makes it worse to my opinion...
- canadianguy33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35That's cool. I wonder how many kids are going to have a seizure watching this thing though.
- MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -14/+1I think I stated to have a seizure :p That does take way too long.
- crawf061, on 10/12/2007, -16/+6Don't watch this if you are terrified of giant spiders... I had to protect my cube partner... he almost got his head bitten off
- khag7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8you dont have to do it for the full 90 seconds. do it for half or evena quarter of the time.
- Buttercup, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2thats cool... but FAR too much eye pain and time for the 10 seconds that it lasts... my eyes are still all watery and hurting... and its 5 minutes after that damn video... now i have to get someone else to do it so i don't feel as bad >:D
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Now my bamboo plant is looks ***** up, like it was on crack, more like I was on crack.
- IzeroI, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1That was awesome, despite feeling weird, I'm going to do that again.
- super_spyder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6i was afraid it was going to be one of those things that jumps out so i just stared at it out of the corner of my eye bracing for the thing that would make me jump.
- hemo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You might want to use the Flash for better quality:

- godius, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Very cool!
- EssPii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Any ever played Guitar Hero? A similar thing happens after watching a song get played and you look away.
- Bara, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I dont play GH but I have a friend who played it all day when I went to his dorm. Naturally, I'd watch. After I look away, everything looks like it's zooming towards me :p
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Well it's not as bad as seeing nothing but Mario Cart when you close your eyes, after playing the original Mario Cart for most of the day.. It was scarey how clear it showed up..
- Ben - jeffiscool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I guess in somewhat the same way as the Mario Kart comment, every once in a while I go insane and play Lumines for 3-4 hours during the day (which is only worth 2-3 full games in challenge mode these days), then when I try to go to sleep that night, I can't stop picturing a lot of different situations in the game, and I essentially play through it in my mind for 30 seconds before snapping out of it.
- Killerah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@jeffiscool I've had the same exact thing happen. It's really weird how it does that to you. Lumines pwns.
- bashar129, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That happened to me but it was on socom, I kept day dreaming about different scenarios and when i went to bed I woke up 5 times dreaming about it. That can't be good.
- wyleyrabbit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6That was trippy. Things around my room started growing. Wierd.
- moiety, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Not bad, a couple seconds of "weirdness" after looking away. Mostly it just gave me a headache though. Le ouch.
- rancemo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+40WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS WHILE DRIVING!
- ACalcutt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+90WARNING #2: Do not use the computer while driving
- picneec13, on 10/12/2007, -17/+3@acalcutt:
lmao
- fatalfury, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11OMG everything gets all bent for me
- wsewell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Can someone post a mirror, stoopid work filter.
- lechatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzSRVgF501M
- alienSkull, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9does the illusion work backwards on the mirror site??
- Syndrome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I wanted to check through the comments here before I watched it to make sure nothing was going to jump out at me. It was neat.
- bashar129, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha, same here, I hate thos things. Very cool video by the way, would have liked a bigger effect though.
- XLostSpartanX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, that is a great one. I like it alot. Took way to long though and the effect didn't last long enough.
- GreenLantern33, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Wow. I looked over at my TV and it melted down.
- devindotcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_aftereffect
for an explanation of the phenomenon. - TheBenchWarmer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Cool. Probably the best optical illusion I've ever seen.
- Overshee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Very cool effect, though it didn't last very long and it kinda made my head hurt.
Also, the music makes it conspicuous while working =D. - brianjameskirk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9This is great. Much safer than those homemade hallucinogenics I've been cooking.
- MasterWizard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0http://mwnx.net/nph-proxy.nx/000110A/http/www.dumpalink.com/media/1151315287/Optical_Illusion_Causes_Hallucination
- gitrplaya4u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1same with DDR
- SabbathXXL, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Wow. After the video, I looked at my hand and thought a bug was crawling through my skin. I swear I even began to feel it. Awesome.
- Dabisu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All I got was a headache. =(
- jrwolv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I looked through a window and everything outside started spinning.
- Robmash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1look at your hand, now thats cool
- snuffulupagus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here's a link to the YouTube video - I couldn't get this link working.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzSRVgF501M - tablatronix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8This is nothing like LSD.
- lazlonger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Baloney, it's very much like LSD, or I should say it's very like one small aspect of LSD. Optics are only a side effect compared to the bobing and weaving of concepts and realities within the mind. But undulating walls are a standard visual result of psychadelics. Been there, tripped on that.
- SPARTACVS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ever seen Pirates of Silicon Valley? Jobs was sure one wacked out hippy back in the day.
- kethel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Depends on the person and the type/strength of it. I've had some LSD that did something like that for hours.
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Actually more like shrooms
- 5555, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This has nothing on DMT.
- Fixe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2new digg buzzword: Optical Illusion :-P
- F1234K, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3its like a really short really mild mushroom trip an by short i mean 20 seconsd
- flubba, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2uber.
- Lynx1234567890, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6When does it wear off? The room looks like I am on LSD for the past 20 minutes.
- Mkay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Woahh coolest thing ever...no wonre people do drugs...mine wore off in like 20 seconds though :(
- hootpie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What do you guys hallucinate? My wall seemed like it was moving a little bit for a few seconds, then it wore off.
- lechatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9the first few seconds are free, you've gotta pay if you want the full trip.
- NoNom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When i looked away, my room didn't look any different but when I looked back at my monitor it was all wavy.
- heartcoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1mine lasted like 5 seconds =(
- DesolataX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have a headache :( But it was trippy :D
- monkeymad2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you look at something reflective...it's like "Woah".
- Cauterized, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow my dog face started to melt. That was cool!
- swancky2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1wonder wat this would be like on shrooms
- OutcastJiob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very trippy. The room looked like it was going in and out of "focus" in terms of how far away objects were, but everything remained clear. Also, my keyboard warped up in a sphere-ish shape, and my TV changed sized. Extremely odd at first, but very cool.
Anyone find similar "hallucination causing" videos elsewhere? - thedonquixote, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Umm isn't that thing a bit oh el dee?? Saw it way back in college.
- wesman84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0whoa that vid just blew my mind
- egrabosky, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2yeh, but have you ever seen an optical illusion... ON WEED????
- egrabosky, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2wtf happened to the edit button? thanks alot kevin rose. haha
- gfixler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd like to make this in Flash, where it would be
- AhronZombi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3i think LSD or mushrooms would be alot more fun
- xrisnothing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2mushrooms ARE more fun
- Dempf, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Trippy
- gfixler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Where'd the rest of my comment go? I said something like "...where it would be
- gfixler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I give up :(
- BlindSet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The same thing happens when you play too much footmen wars ;)
- MadHatter563, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha that is trippy.. I had to do it twice cuz i loved it!!! Crazy...
- lilazndrumrboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that is freakin awesome! yea, you don't have to stare at it that long, but the longer you stare at it, the longer the effect lasts, and vice versa.
- Mac2492, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It helps to know how long the video is so you don't get distracted thinking about that. It's a little over a minute. Just keep staring if you want the "intended" effect. =)...
- diggdon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This was dugg a couple of days ago when a nice reader sent us to grand-illusions.com who had the same illusion on their site.
- 0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was crazy.
- ragnarok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that has so got to be bad for your eyes
- MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Those are some NSFW ads they got there.
