3D Infinite Optical Illusion

I’ve noticed that a lot of you out there were commenting on the more trippy optical illusions I’ve been putting up on the site. I guess it’s nice to take a bit of a break from the brain teasers, which are what most of my updates have consisted of lately. I mean, I guess we all need to give our big brains a little bit of a break from time to time. Sometimes, it’s just fun to sit back and look at a really cool and trippy optical illusion.

I have dubbed the illusion below the “3D infinite optical illusion,” because it reminds me of the infinite symbol. This is one of those illusions that is made up of beautiful colors and an intricate design. The image below is a static image, but it has an animated effect to it. Are you ready to check it out? If so, you can scroll down now.

After looking at the image; were you able to see the animated effect I was talking about? If not, you should stare at it for a little bit long and eventually it will look like the image is moving. Leave a comment below and let me know if this worked for you.

Want to check out another cool illusion today? If so, try to figure out what these mysterious shapes stand for.
