When I get close to the monitor the # of stars that appear to spin is greater than when I move my head far away. That is, the area of screen space with spinning stars increases as I get closer.
Do other people get the same effect?
I thought the opposite would happen.
- FartyMcFarter 6y agoI get the same effect. I think it makes sense, even though I understand your reasoning. Both the fovea and the rest of the eye perceive more detail when you're closer to an object (the fovea is no different in this respect). When you're close enough, the fovea can perceive a larger area in detail, which we see as motion in that animation.
- recursive 6y agoI get the same thing. I think it's because when you get close enough, you can see spinning even in the periphery, just because it's bigger.
