The Spinning Dancer, also known as the Silhouette Illusion, is a kinetic, bistable, animated optical illusion originally distributed as a GIF animation showing a silhouette of a pirouetting female dancer. The illusion involves the apparent direction of motion of the figure. Some observers initially see the figure as spinning clockwise(as viewed from above) and some counterclockwise. Additionally, some may see the figure suddenly spin in the opposite direction (Wiki)
Now, experiment with it in VaM! Try different spinning directions by using the buttons, or by just making the switch in your brain! Choose a random spin and guess the direction.
One (little) problem in this setting: Because this is the projection of a single point light source, there IS a (little) difference in size of body parts further or closer to the light source. This could give you clues about the spinning direction and break the illusion, but I know your brain is stronger than that, and can just ignore it! Have fun!
Oh, and all resource eating stuff is not needed, so you can switch them off (soft body physics, high qual phys, smooth pass, etc).
