New Delhi: Can you perceive that one of the two rings in this astounding optical illusion appears to rotate more quickly than the other as they both rotate counterclockwise?
Here is another optical illusion that will keep you examining it for a while before you start to doubt reality. And a good example is this internet optical illusion. Two rings are revolving counterclockwise, but it seems like one of them is going faster than the other.
The perplexing optical illusion was posted on Twitter by Akiyoshi Kitaoka. Akiyoshi is a Japanese experimental psychologist who teaches psychology at Ritsumeikan University and conducts research on and develops visual illusions. Despite having the same speed, the right ring appears to circle more quickly than the left one in this optical illusion.

Which right do you notice first when you first look at it? We believe you might have viewed the correct one first. However, in reality, the speed of rotation for both rings is counterclockwise. Who knows how? The right ring appears to rotate more quickly due to variations in contracting during the movement in the optical illusion described above, which is entirely connected to phi phenomena.
The brainteaser was tweeted on October 8th and received over 200 likes and over 70 retweets as a result. One person said, “I believe the shift of colours seems like a rotation, therefore speed increases from our perspective.”
A confusing image left online users bewildered as to whether it was a man heading into the woods or a dog rushing in the direction of the camera.
